While its land area is more than 1,000 square
kilometers (400 square miles), a portion of
that number is actually made up of small
outlying islands and vast tracts of uninhabited
parkland. Most of the population (about seven
million people) reside in Central and Kowloon,
making Hong Kong the third most densely
populated place in the world.
