History Of Hong Kong

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hong Kong began as a coastal island geographically located off the southern coast of China. While pockets of settlements had taken place in the region with archaeological findings dating back thousands of years, regular written records were not made until the engagement of Imperial China and the British Colony in the territory. Starting out as a fishing village, salt production site and trading ground, it later evolved into a military port of strategic importance and eventually an international financial centre that has the world\'s 6th highest GDP (PPP) per capita, supporting 33% of the foreign capital flows into China.
