Hong Kong(香港; \"Fragrant Harbour\"), officiallyHong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People\'s Republic of China, is anautonomous territoryon the southern coast ofChinaat thePearl River Estuaryand theSouth China Sea.[11]Hong Kong is known for itsskylineand deep natural harbour.[12]It has a land area of 1104km2and shares its northern border withGuangdong ProvinceofMainland China. With around7.2 million inhabitantsof variousnationalities,[note 1]Hong Kong is one of theworld\'s most densely populated metropolises.

After theFirst Opium War(1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession ofHong Kong Island, followed byKowloon Peninsulain 1860 and a 99-year lease of theNew Territoriesfrom 1898. Hong Kong remained under continuous British control for about a century until theSecond World War, whenJapan occupied the colonyfrom December 1941 to August 1945. British control resumed in 1945 following theSurrender of Japan. In the 1980s, negotiations between theUnited KingdomandChinaresulted in the 1984Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for thetransfer of sovereignty of Hong Kongon 30 June 1997. The territory became aspecial administrative regionof China with a high degree of autonomy[13]on 1 July 1997 under the principle ofone country, two systems.[14][15]Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014Umbrella Revolution.

In the late 1970s, Hong Kong became a majorentrepôtinAsia-Pacific. The territory has developed into a major global trade hub andfinancial centre.[16]The44th-largest economyin the world,[17]Hong Kong ranks top 10 inGDP (PPP) per capita, but also has themost severe income inequalityamong advanced economies. Hong Kong is one of thethree most important financial centresalongsideNew YorkandLondon,[18]and the world\'s number one tourist destination city.[19]The territory has been named the freest market economy.[20]The service economy, characterised by free trade andlow taxation, has been regarded as one of the world\'s mostlaissez-faireeconomic policies, and the currency, theHong Kong dollar, is the13th most traded currency in the world.[21]

The Hong Kong Basic Lawis itsquasi-constitutionwhich empowers the region to develop relations and make agreements directly with foreign states and regions, as well as international organizations, in a broad range ofappropriate fields.[22]It is an independent member ofAPEC, theIMF,WTO,FIFAandInternational Olympic Committeeamong others.

Limited land created a dense infrastructure and the territory became a centre of modernarchitecture, and has a larger number ofhighrisesthanany other cityin the world.[23][24]Hong Kong has a highly developedpublic transportationnetwork covering 90 per cent of the population, the highest in the world, and relies on mass transit by road or rail.[25][26]Air pollutionremains a serious problem.[27][28]Looseemissions standardshave resulted in a high level ofatmospheric particulates.[29]Nevertheless, residents of Hong Kong (sometimes referred to asHongkongers) enjoyone of the longest life expectanciesin the style=\"WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: medium \'Times New Roman\'; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-stretch: normal\">
