Talk:Geography of Hong Kong

message: A couple of things needs to be done to clean up this article.
#The "Geographical information" section has a lot of numbers, and these need to be referenced.  Do we have an authoritative source for those numbers?  Hopefully something from the government, or one of the universities in HK, or at the very least, a reputable travel guide.
#We can actually import content from the main Hong Kong article.  There is information in that article's Geography section that is not included here - which would normally be a strange thing, but not so strange considering that the Hong Kong article is a FA class article while this one is just probably a Start class.

message: According to CIA world factbook 2012, the area of Hong Kong is 1104 square km, of those it consist 1054 square km land and 50 square km water.  (See: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/hk.html)
But The official Hong Kong government Land Department data, the area in HK is 2755 square km (of those 1104.4 square km are land area and 1650.6 square km are sea area) See (http://www.landsd.gov.hk/mapping/en/publications/hk_geographic_data_sheet.pdf).
What a huge difference.
Of course, when you read and measure the map, you will find that official one is much more reliable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.199.84.143 (talk) 17:58, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
