For a second time this article has been edited to start "Hong Kong City" or "Hong Kong...is a city." This just is wrong. Hong Kong is a ''region''. It is also the name of an ''island'' but there is no City called Hong Kong. The region of Hong Kong contains several cities such as Kowloon City and Victoria City. There are many other settlements, towns and villages throughout the territories and islands of Hong Kong. [[User:Derek Harkness|Derek Harkness]] 08:34, 21 April 2008 (CDT)

How about "metropolitan area", then? Technically Boston doesn't include the place where Harvard is, but everyone no doubt thinks of it as "Boston". (And, yeah, I know the New Territories are mostly rural, but what makes Hong Kong famous is the urban area.) [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 15:35, 21 April 2008 (CDT)

Hong Kong is not a city.

For a second time this article has been edited to start "Hong Kong City" or "Hong Kong...is a city." This just is wrong. Hong Kong is a region. It is also the name of an island but there is no City called Hong Kong. The region of Hong Kong contains several cities such as Kowloon City and Victoria City. There are many other settlements, towns and villages throughout the territories and islands of Hong Kong. Derek Harkness 08:34, 21 April 2008 (CDT)
