hong kong is one of the two special administrative regions (sars) of the people's republic of china, along with macau. comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the pearl river delta, bordering guangdong province in the north and facing the south china sea in the east, west and south.

hong kong was a crown colony of the united kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the people's republic of china in 1997. the sino-british joint declaration and the basic law of hong kong stipulate that hong kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 20xx, fifty years after the transfer. under the policy of "one country, two systems", the central people's government is responsible for the territory's defence and foreign affairs, while hong kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

hong kong is frequently described as a city where east meets west, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. on one street corner, there may be traditional chinese shops selling chinese herbal medicine, buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. but around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest hollywood blockbuster, a british-style pub, a catholic church or ronald mcdonald inviting passer-bys to a big mac. the territory's official language is chinese and english; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout hong kong. the government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. british rule may have ended a decade ago but western culture is deeply ingrained in hong kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the orient.

hong kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, lan kwai fong (central) and wan chai. both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. for a more quiet evening, a trip to victoria peak offers a spectacular view of the city. there is also a promenade along the tsim sha tsui waterfront, which is popular among young chinese couples. shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of hong kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the temple street night market where one can also catch free performances of peking opera.

the city's cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. while different varieties of chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many european, american, japanese, korean, and other restaurants. ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. the people of hong kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

while hong kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the city's most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. several top-notch hollywood performers originate from hong kong cinema -- bruce lee, chow yun-fat, jackie chan, michelle yeoh, jet li and leslie cheung, to name a few. behind the camera, hong kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in hollywood such as john woo, wong kar-wai, tsui hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the matrix trilogy, kill bill and crouching tiger, hidden dragon. back in hong kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as chungking express, infernal affairs, shaolin soccer, rumble in the bronx and in the mood for love. acclaimed filmmaker quentin tarantino has said he's strongly influenced by hong kong action cinema.

the hong kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the hong kong heritage museum, hong kong museum of art, the hong kong academy for performing arts and the hong kong philharmonic orchestra. furthermore, the government's leisure and cultural services department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to hong kong.
