It has a population of 6.9 million people, and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

CLIMATE
Hong Kong's climate is sub-tropical, tending towards the temperate for nearly half the year. Temperatures can drop below 10 degrees Celsius in winter and exceed 31 degrees Celsius in summer. About 90 per cent of the rainfall occurs between April and September.

LANGUAGE
Chinese and English are the official languages. English is widely used in the Government and by the legal, professional and business sectors.
