The colony comprises an area of approximately 392 square miles and includes the island of Hong Kong and a section of the mainland which is divided between Kowloon and the New or leased territories.

However the endless stream of refugees that continues Q0 pour into the colony from Communist China IS a reminder that Hong Kong is at the edge of a whirl ool which at any time could swallow the islan .
