Part 1: A Walking Tour of Hong Kong

既然这是你第一次来香港，我愿意义务地做你的向导，带你去参观一下。
太好了！真是太感谢你了。我等都等不及了！
那我们走吧！…… 香港是由香港岛、九龙半岛、新界还有两百多个岛屿所组成的。香港的总面积是一千一百多平方公里，是澳门的三十倍，也是新加坡的两倍。香港的人口有七百多万，包括五十多万外国人，其中菲律宾人和印度人最多。
你能不能简单地给我介绍一下香港的历史？
当然可以。英国人在十九世纪第一次鸦片战争以后，占领了香港，当时这里只有一些小渔村。后来，中国和英国签订了《南京条约》，香港就变成了英国的殖民地了。一直到1997年，香港才回归中国，成为中华人民共和国香港特别行政区，并且实施“一国两制”，也就是说除了外交和国防以外，香港五十年之内可以享有高度的自治权，它的资本主义经济制度也不变。
