Hong Kong is located on the coast of the South China Sea, east of the Pearl River Estuary, with Shenzhen in the north, Wanshan Islands in the south, Macau and Zhuhai in Guangdong in the west. It is composed of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, with a total of 263 islands. Hong Kong Chinese generally speak Cantonese in Cantonese films, and the locals are commonly called Cantonese. The English name of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, is a transliteration of Cantonese, the native language of Hong Kong's aborigines, and is not a Cantonese pronunciation of Heong Kong in Cantonese films.

Hong Kong is known as the "Pearl of the Orient", with a population of about 7.13 million (2012) and a total area of 1,070 square kilometers. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong can be divided into four parts: Hong Kong Island, New Territories, Kowloon and Outlying Islands.

The area of the New Territories is about 980 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 91 of the land area of Hong Kong. %. The outlying islands include a total of 262 islands. The outlying island Lantau, where the prohibited word is spoken, is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island.
