Hong Kong's summers have average temperatures of 82 degrees F (28 C) and are extremely hot and humid. Rainfall is plentiful during this time, April to September, as Hong Kong's residents are subjected to typhoons. There is a short spring and fall period and the winter temperatures average about 59 degrees F ( 15 C). Hong Kong can be divided into three distinct areas: Hong Kong Island (Victoria), Kowloon and the New Territories. Located across the bay from Kowloon is what is commonly known as Hong Kong Island, or Victoria. This section of Hong Kong has several notorious areas: the Central District, which is the center of business; the Western District is heavily influenced by the Chinese, it is also where the British first settled; Causeway Bay, initially known as East Point by the British, is home to Victoria Park as well as many high rises; Stanley, located on the southern side, is infamous for its beaches, Stanley Market, and the nearby Stanley Prison; Aberdeen, also on the south side, was the main fishing port before the British arrived and is home to thousands of boats.

H ong Kong in a Nutshell Geography Location Climate Language ... Tour Reservation in Hong Kong "Fragrant Harbour" Hong Kong's English name is derived from two Chinese characters, Heung and Gong, usually translated as "Fragrant Harbour," though the actual origins of the name are obscure. Originally it was only the name of a small settlement near Aberdeen, the main fishing and entrepot port on pre-colonial Hong Kong Island. Some historians suggest that Hong Kong's Chinese name was inspired by its export of fragrant incense. Kowloon: "Nine Dragons" ( click for postcard ) The explanation for Kowloon's name is even more romantic. In Chinese, the peninsula's name is Gow Lung, meaning "Nine Dragons". The name is thought to have been coined by Emperor Ping, one of two boy- emperors of the doomed Sung Dynasty whose court fled to Hong Kong eight centuries ago. He is said to have counted eight mountains in the area, and decided to name it "Eight Dragons" (in accordance with the belief that every mountain is inhabited by a dragon). The Emperor's tally of the peaks was corrected by a quick-witted courtier who pointed out that as emperors were also believed to be dragons, the place should be named "Nine Dragons" - Ping being the ninth. The origin of Kowloon's name may be a legend, but it is a historical fact that the boy-emperor's travelling palace stayed there. One ancient carved-rock inscription recording the imperial visit stands in a small park on the very edge of Hong Kong International Airport.

The main areas are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. Hong Kong Island lies just south of Kowloon and the two are separated by Victoria Harbour. The New Territories lie north of Kowloon and run up to the boundary with mainland China. As well as making up the bulk of Hong Kong's land mass, the New Territories also include more than 260 outlying islands. Hong Kong was a collection of fishing villages when claimed as a crown colony by Britain in 1841. At that time it was described as a "barren rock", much to the amusement of today's property barons. More than 70 per cent of Hong Kong's total area is rural, including about 40 per cent designated as protected country parks. This means Hong Kong has one of the world's highest ratios of designated parkland.
