City Guides Day Trips General Info Food Guide Resources ] Subscribe To This Site Hong Kong History Opium War 1840-1842 Opium War marked the beginning of Hong Kong History. In the early 1800s, Hong Kong was a small fishing village in south China. There was no clue that one day it becomes Asia�s World City and a world financial centre. Opium War had critically changed the history of Hong Kong. In mid 1800s, there was a confrontation between the Imperial China government wanted to stop the opium trade and the British merchants who wanted to secure their trading rights for tremendous profits. The Imperial Qing Dynasty emperor ordered Lin Zexu to stamp out the opium trade imposed by British merchants. The action provoked a belligerent response from the British government. Opium War hence started in 1840. China�s antiquated navy of course were no match for the British. After the losing of thousands of lives, the Opium War ended by the signing of the Treaty of Nanking on August 29, 1842. Treaty of Nanking forced the Chinese government to compensate enormous money to British merchants in addition to opening five ports to English trade. At the same time, Hong Kong was ceded in perpetuity to Britain. This started the Hong Kong history of colonial rule which lasted 155 years. The second Opium War (1856-1860) ended in another British victory. Kowloon Peninsula across Hong Kong Island was made a British colony by the Treaty of Peking. As Hong Kong and Kowloon together are too small, British government made further demand for the land which is now called the New Territories north of Kowloon peninsula. A 99-year lease was established in 1898, to be expired on July 1, 1997.

Site Map General Info Economy l Geography l Government l History l People l Religion History Life forms existed more than 6,000 years ago at many sites along the winding shoreline of Hong Kong. It was believed that during the earliest prehistoric periods, from the close of the fourth millennium BC, Hong Kong experienced a change in the environment, in which the sea levels rose from as much as 100 meters below the present level. Ancient artifacts suggest a strong dependency on the sea. According to recent excavations, archaeologists have discovered two main Neolithic cultures lying in stratified sequence. Pieces of coarse, cord-marked pottery has been found together with fine, soft, fragile pottery decorated with linear carvings, perforations and paintings. The fourth millennium BC is associated with this phase. In the next phase, probably in the mid-third millennium BC, a new ceramic form decorated with a wide range of impressive geometric patterns was found. Better workmanship and a melange of different shapes indicate a progression in techniques. Ornaments, such as rings made from quartz and other stones, display exquisite craftsmanship.

Surprisingly, Tung Chee-hwa scrapped the law in September. After pro-democracy parties handed pro-China parties a stunning defeat in November elections, China quickly moved to stifle the democracy movement. In April 2004, Beijing officials postponed indefinitely the expansion of the number of popularly elected legislators. Hundreds of thousands protested. Pro-democracy candidates took about 60% of the popular vote in Sept. 2004 elections, but Beijing's legislative system granted them only 40% of the seats in the legislature. Donald Tsang, with the backing of Beijing, was overwhelmingly reelected as chief executive in March 2007. Tsang was challenged by Alan Leong, the former leader of the Hong Kong Bar Association and an advocate for voting rights in Hong Kong.
