Which province and special economic zone is adjacent to Hong Kong? (Guangdong Province, Shenzhen City). Thus, the geographical location of Hong Kong can be obtained step by step.

3. To describe Hong Kong’s important position in international transportation, trade, information, etc., it can be analyzed from the following aspects:

1. Superior geographical location: backed by the motherland , facing the vast ocean to the south, is an important entrepot for imports and exports from mainland China. Hong Kong is also an important port on the Pacific and Indian Ocean routes.
