Part 1: A Walking Tour of Hong Kong

既然這是你第一次來香港，我願意義務地做你的響導，帶你去參觀一下。
太好了！真是太感謝你了。我等都等不及了！
那我們走吧！…… 香港是由香港島、九龍半島、新界還有兩百多個島嶼所組成的。香港的總面積是一千一百多平方公里，是澳門的三十倍，也是新加坡的兩倍。香港的人口有七百多萬，包括五十多萬外國人，其中菲律賓人和印度人最多。
你能不能簡單地給我介紹一下香港的歷史？
當然可以。英國人在十九世紀第一次鴉片戰爭以後，佔領了香港，當時這里只有一些小漁村。後來，中國和英國簽訂了《南京條約》，香港就變成了英國的殖民地了。一直到1997年，香港才回歸中國，成為中華人民共和國香港特別行政區，並且實施“一國兩制”，也就是說除了外交和國防以外，香港五十年之內可以享有高度的自治權，它的資本主義經濟制度也不變。
