Extended data:

The topography of Hong Kong is dominated by hills, and the highest point is Tai Mo Shan, which is 958 meters above sea level. There are not many flat lands in Hong Kong, about 20% of which belong to lowlands, mainly concentrated in the northern New Territories, namely Yuen Long Plain and Fanling Lowland, which are alluvial plains naturally formed by rivers.

Secondly, the reclaimed land located in the Kowloon Peninsula and the northern part of Hong Kong Island expanded from the original narrow flat land. Although one Hong Kong resident is from Hong Kong Island, the largest island in Hong Kong is Lantau Island, which is more than twice the size of Hong Kong Island.
