Hong Kong consists of three main geographical regions: the cosmopolitan Hong Kong Island, the candid Kowloon, and the developed campos New Territories. There also are some outlying islands, such as Cheung Chau Island and Lamma Island.
I’ve always believed that the grittier a place, the more authentic the local culture you see is. Described as “the Mr. Hyde to Hong Kong Island’s genteel Dr. Jekyll” by CNN in their guide, Kowloon is Hong Kong; well at least the inner alter ego of it.
