The most widely accepted credit
cards in Hong Kong are Visa, MasterCard, American Express (AmEx),
Diners Club and JCB, and pretty much in that order. When signing
credit card receipts, make sure you always write an 'HK' in front of
the dollar sign if there isn't one already printed there. Some shops
in Hong Kong may try to add a surcharge to offset the commission
charged by credit companies, which can range from 2.5% to 7%. In
theory, this is prohibited by the credit companies, but to get around
this many shops will offer a 5% discount if you pay cash. It's your
choice.
Hong
Kong is divided into four main areas - Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, the
New Territories and the Outlying Islands. Kowloon and the New
Territories are on a peninsula of the Chinese mainland, on the
northern side of Victoria Harbour; Hong Kong Island is on the southern
side of the harbour facing Kowloon; the Outlying Islands simply refers
to any of the other 234 islands. The New Territories has a 20km (12mi)
land border with China proper.
The city itself
is centred around Victoria Harbour. The main business district is
Central, on Hong Kong Island. East of Central lies the Admiralty
commercial district; Wan Chai, known for restaurants and clubs; then
Causeway Bay, a major shopping area. Towering above it all is the Peak,
Hong Kong's premier scenic outlook and residential district, which
happily has plenty of public green space. In Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui
(on the southern tip), Jordan and Yau Ma Tei are busy hotel and
shopping areas, while Mong Kok is a bustling residential and shopping
area

Les Britanniques prirent le contrôle de Hong Kong
en 1841 après les guerres de l'opium.
Le gouvernement communiste chinois ne reconnut
jamais officiellement le contrôle britannique sur Hong Kong mais il ne
s'opposa pas activement non plus au gouvernement britannique. En 1982
la Chine et la Grande-Bretagne entreprirent des discussions concernant
l'avenir de Hong Kong qui aboutirent à une entente en mai 1985 pour le
transfert du contrôle de Hong Kong des britanniques à la Chine le 1er
juillet 1997. Hong Kong devint alors une région administrative
spéciale de la Chine (RAS).
Hong Kong pourra conserver son économie capitaliste
à l'intérieur du système socialiste chinois jusqu'en 2047. À ce
moment-là, la Chine sera sans doute aussi capitaliste que Hong Kong ne
l'a jamais été!
Hong Kong fut une colonie
britannique de 1842 à la rétrocession à la Chine, en 1997. Elle
est gouvernée comme une région administrative spéciale sous la
Basic law of Hong Kong. Selon les termes de la déclaration
sino-britannique commune, la Chine a promis que Hong Kong
garderait une relative autonomie jusqu'à au moins 2047, soit 50
ans après le transfert de la souveraineté.
Hong Kong conserve son système
légal, sa monnaie, son système politique, ses équipes sportives
internationales et ses lois sur l'immigration.
Destination touristique et
commerciale internationale, Hong Kong vend simultanément la
dernière mode européenne et des vêtements chinois traditionnels.

Plaque commerciale tournante, elle est la seule avec Singapour dont le

La population hongkongaise évolue de manière semblable
aux autres économies développées d'Asie orientale comme la Corée du Sud,
le Japon, Singapour ou Taiwan. Cette évolution est surtout marquée par une
baisse de la natalité, une plus longue espérance de vie et donc le
vieillissement de la population. La population active hongkongaise est
concentrée dans les secteurs des services. Les salaires sont plus élevés
que dans les autres pays d'Asie (hors Japon), même si la croissance faible
et la baisse des prix ont entraîné une stagnation des salaires nominaux. A
moyen terme, le marché du travail devra être adapté aux enjeux de la
mondialisation, alors que la qualification de la main-d'œuvre locale reste
insuffisante
Hong Kong is a
beautiful Island and the best thing is the water that surrounds
mostly all the Islands of Hong Kong. Though Hong Kong is very
congested with huge skyscrapers yet it has still maintained its
natural beauty that is, its greenery in the surroundings and it is
also called the city of life because even at the mid-night or
after that you could see people hanging out on streets & shopping
at late naight market's
Area: 1,098

Hong Konghas supported
human life since at least the Stone Age. Until the British claimed it, the
area was a neglected corner of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) empire
inhabited by farmers, fishermen and pirates. The British took control of
Hong Kong in 1841 following the Opium Wars. European trade with China had
been taking place since the 16th century, but as European demand for tea
and silk grew, the balance of trade became more and more unfavourable to
Europeans, who were expected to pay in silver. In 1773, the British
unloaded 70,000kg (155,000lb) of Bengal opium, and the Chinese taste for
the 'foreign mud' grew exponentially. Alarmed at the drain of silver from
the country and the increasing number of addicts, the emperor banned the
drug trade. The Europeans, with the help of corrupt Chinese officials,
managed to keep the trade in opium going until 1839 when the emperor again
issued orders to stamp it out. British traders were forced to hand over
their supplies of raw opium, which was then publicly burned.
The British sent an expeditionary force to China to
exact reprisals, secure favourable trade arrangements and obtain use of
some islands as a British base. The force blockaded Canton (now called
Guangzhou) and a number of other ports, ultimately threatening Beijing.
The British pressured the Chinese into ceding Hong Kong Island to them in
perpetuity. Both sides ultimately repudiated the agreement, but Commodore
Gordon Bremmer led a contingent of naval men ashore on 26 January 1841 and
claimed the island for Britain. A series of conflicts followed, with the
British backed by French, Russian and American interests. A combined
British and French force invaded China in 1859, forcing the Chinese to
agree to the Convention of Peking, which ceded the Kowloon Peninsula and
nearby Stonecutters Island to the British. In 1898, the British also
gained a 99-year lease on the New Territories, which they felt essential
to protect their interests on Hong Kong Island.
In the early 20th century Hong Kong began a gradual
shift away from trade to manufacturing. This move was hastened by the
civil war in China during the 1920s and by the Japanese invasion in the
1930s, when Chinese capitalists fled to the safer confines of the colony.
When the US embargo on Chinese goods during the Korean War threatened to
strangle the colony, it was forced to increase its manufacturing capacity
and develop service industries, such as banking and insurance. Hong Kong's
existence was threatened again when the Communists came to power in China
in 1949 and during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. Although the
Chinese could have re-taken Hong Kong with ease, a precarious peace
prevailed.
In December 1984, the British agreed to hand over the
entire colony when the lease on the New Territories ran out in 1997,
rather than hang on to a truncated colony consisting of Kowloon and Hong
Kong Island. The agreement theoretically allows Hong Kong to retain its
pre-1997 social, economic and legal systems for at least 50 years after
1997. As the handover approached, controversies raged over the building of
Hong Kong's expensive new airport and the amount of democracy the Chinese
were willing to accept.
Hong Kong has suffered fallout from Asia's economic
crises in the late 1990s, and has experienced rising unemployment, falling
property prices and close to zero growth. However, although not as robust
as it has been, Hong Kong is still a vibrant financial centre - and one of
the world's great cities. China's official policy with regard to Hong Kong
is 'one country, two systems', and the common view is that as long as Hong
Kong continues to make money (and little noise) its autonomy is assured.
But a number of crucial interventions by Chinese authorities in Hong
Kong's affairs have made it evident that there is not quite as much
autonomy going on as the slogan suggests. Nevertheless, the European
Commission has described Hong Kong as one of the freest societies in Asia
despite not having full democracy. It appears, on the surface, that little
has changed since the handover.
Hong Kong Island is the
glitzy big brother of Kowloon - a tightly packed, towering paean to market
capitalism that hasn't been dented one jot by Chinese rule. The bustle of
people living and working is the biggest attraction on the island,
although many visitors head around to Aberdeen, on the southern side of
the island, where 6000 people live or work on junks anchored in the
harbour. Sampan tours of the Aberdeen Harbour are definitely worth the
expense. The other major draw is the floating restaurants.
The most popular beach is Repulse Bay, also on the
southern side of the island, but it gets extremely crowded on weekends.
Stanley, with its laid-back atmosphere, is another good spot for escaping
Hong Kong's hustle and bustle, although it is the hustle and bustle that
brings people here in the first place - if you want real solitude,
you've come to the wrong place. City attractions include the Central
Market, which visitors will have no trouble finding (just sniff the air),
the old Man Mo Temple and the Zoological & Botanic Gardens. Hong Kong
Island is steep, so if your'e heading away from the harbour, do as the
locals do and ride the 800m (870 yards) outdoor escalator.
Hong
Kong was been ruled for more than 100 years by British but than on 1st
July 1997, Hong Kong was handed over to China & today Hong Kong is ruled
by China yet it is said that Hong Kong will be following the same rules
for another 50 years there won't be any changes made. Now it is said that
" One country but two systems" Hong Kong is now called Hong Kong SAR and
Hong Kong and China theybothhave two different flags & two different
systems, China is communist while Hong Kong isn't. Hongkong uses Dollar as
currency while China uses Yuan

Shopping
The following are major shopping malls in Hong
Kong, where the establishments usually have fixed prices so they
do not usually "bargain". Of course there are thousands of shops
in the streets which generally do bargain, if that is how you
prefer to shop. Additionally there are numerous markets in Hong
Kong, the main ones being Stanley Market on Hong Kong Island and
the Temple Street night market in Kowloon.
In any case, it is always
advantageous (but not essential) to shop (or dine), where the
establishment displays the "Quality Tourism Services" logo issued
by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. Visit the
