Please wikilink Lantau Island in this article

edit

Hello - There's one instance of Lantau Island in this article, in the Geography section. It should be linked to the Lantau Island article. I couldn't do it because the page is currently protected. Thanks! 166.181.80.221 (talk) 17:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Serious problem with this article

edit

There's a serious omission in this article, which, extremely embarrassingly, has also been a problem for over 20 years now: nowhere in the current version of this article is there a map indicating which parts (i.e., prefecture-level administrative divisions) of the neighboring Guangdong province in the Pearl River Delta region are adjacent to or near Hong Kong. That's not very encyclopedic. It's not that hard; please fix!!!!!

Example of such a map that provides this very basic information that any users of this article would expect to find here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HK_in_June_2018_IX2_Guangdong_map.jpg

Area in the infobox is confusing

edit

The real area is 1114 km2. And you're showing more than double of that because you're counting all the surrounding waters. Since when do we count the sea as part of the area of a territorial entity? 12qwas (talk) 21:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
