Geography
Hong Kong was by the coast, and had a significant harbour. Off one section of the coast was Aberdeen, the floating village, and across the sea from Hong Kong was Guangli Bay. Within Hong Kong was the Walled City of Kowloon. At one point it was a slum, but by the mid-1970s it was one of the more upmarket neighbourhoods with over twenty thousand people living there.
