HongKong, locally known as 香港 pinyin xiang1 gang3 (Cantonese: Heung Gong), meaning Fragrant Harbour, is a special administrative region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China, consisting of several islands in the South China Sea and a peninsula connecting it to mainland China.
The name "HongKong" is derived from HongKong Island in the South China Sea, at the mouth of the Xi Jiang[?] or Pearl River.
HongKong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometre.
