Hong Kong is an Island but its terrorities extended in a much larger land mass to the North on the Chinese mainland. Many people mix up Kowloon with Hong Kong but it is a ferry boat ride between the two. JS .

I remember a post some time ago where I think it was a woman who was looking for what happened to a little boat during the war, that was around Whampoa can't remember if she ever found out.
