You are in Geography of Hong Kong The area called Hong Kong is mostly hilly with only seven percent of land fit for agriculture; this land is in the New Territories which has some farms and market gardens. Hong Kong imports most of its food from around the world and is an extremely cosmopolitan city; it imports much of its water from China. Typhoons are the main natural hazard. The English word typhoon comes from the Hong Kong British pronunciation of the Chinese Tai Feng (big wind). Hong Kong has an official typhoon warning system; when the siren goes, shops and schools close and people stay inside until the all-clear is blown. The region experiences tropical monsoons and a sub-tropical climate throughout the year. As Hong Kong is based on volcanic strata, there are minor seismic activities but there have been no major earthquakes recorded for over a hundred years. Hong Kong, as the name suggests, has the world's busiest deep-water harbor, and container shipments are the lifeblood of the area. The port is responsible for the country's emergence as one of the major economic powers of the region. In addition to shipping, Hong Kong has long been known as the banking capital of Asia; the free market in money, with money changers who will change any currency, has not been affected by the handover to China in 1997.
