Hong Kong with a population of about 6 million Chinese can be divided into four parts, namely Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and the colony’s numerous outlying islands. Hong Kong Island or the "island" as it’s popularly known is 75 sq km of topsy-turvy real estate. It is dominated by great banks and counting houses, enormous futuristic buildings, opulent hotels, splendid residences on Victoria Peak, fine beach resorts and the colony’s oldest Chinese communities. Across Hong Kong harbour , about 2 minutes by the underwent Mass Transit Railway is the mainland town of Kowloon. Kowloon is a residential-industrial complex packed into 6 km. The Boundary Street is the demarcation line between Hong Kong colony and the New Territories(NT). The NT used to be called "unspoiled", a century ago. Today, it houses countless factories that are hardly beautiful. Progress and population pressures have caused the government to instigate "new town" projects. Little market town like Tsuen Wan, now has a population of 700,000 and a once tiny pirate port like Tuen Man is fast expanding to house 600,000 population. Along the New Territories there are about 234 islands. Few of these islands are inhabited
