Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the Pearl River Delta of East Asia. Beginning as a trading port, Hong Kong became a dependent territory of the British Empire in 1842 after the First Opium War, and remained so until transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong back to China in 1997. It remains a major port and financial center. Officially a "special administrative region", Hong Kong is largely self-governing, compared with other parts of China.
