Hong Kong (Xiānggǎng in pinyin) is a special administrative region of China. Originally ceded to the British Empire in the 19th century, the city became an important free port for trade with oriental wares. In 1997, the leasing contract between Britain and China ended, returning the city to chinese control. The maoistic regime of China has granted Hong Kong several special rights, including their free-trade market. In the Gothic-Punk World of Darkness, much of the modernization of the city came to a halt, resulting in numerous gloomy shanytowns around the districts of high finance and business.

| - Hong Kong (Xiānggǎng in pinyin) is a special administrative region of China. Originally ceded to the British Empire in the 19th century, the city became an important free port for trade with oriental wares. In 1997, the leasing contract between Britain and China ended, returning the city to chinese control. The maoistic regime of China has granted Hong Kong several special rights, including their free-trade market. In the Gothic-Punk World of Darkness, much of the modernization of the city came to a halt, resulting in numerous gloomy shanytowns around the districts of high finance and business. The city of Hong Kong proper consists of Kowloon peninsula and about 263 islands, the largest being Hong Kong Island. The region has a strong presence of dragon lines that coalesce around and within the city, making the use of precise feng shui to construct buildings more important. This high saturation with magical energies draws the attention of numerous supernaturals of both east and west, leading to a unique melting pot between both groups.
