香港,包括香港岛、九龙和“新界”,总面积约1062平方公里,是中国固有领土。鸦片战争前,香港岛人烟稀少;1842年英国割占该岛后,这里成为华洋杂处之地,人口激增。19世纪末,港英当局管辖下的香港岛、九龙(1860年割占)和“新界”(含离岛,1898年租借),人口逾36万;至1941年日本侵占香港前夕,人口已达164万,成为亚洲人口增长最快、密度最高的地区之一。
Hong Kong, including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the “New Territories”, with a total area of about 1062 square kilometers, is China’s inherent territory. Before the Opium War, Hong Kong Island was sparsely populated. After Britain cut its territory in 1842, it became a land of miscellaneous mansions and surged in population. At the end of the 19th century, there were over 360,000 Hong Kong islands, Kowloon (sequestered in 1860) and the “New Territories” (including outlying islands, leased in 1898) under the jurisdiction of the British British authorities. By 1941, on the eve of Japan’s invasion and occupation of Hong Kong, the population had reached 1.64 million , Making it one of the fastest growing and most densely populated areas in Asia.
