Why do you say HongKong is Hong Kong in English?

Hong Kong is based on the pronunciation of Cantonese. When British troops arrived in southeast China in Qing Dynasty, a villager led the way. When passing the "Hong Kong Village", the British army asked about the place names. The villagers answered "Hong Kong" in Cantonese, so the British army recorded the pronunciation of "Hong Kong" and thought it was the name of the island. From then on, Hong Kong said Hong Kong, which has been used to this day.

Hong Kong (Cantonese spelling: hoeng1gong2; ; English: Hong Kong; ; Mandarin pinyin: ?ng；; Short name: HK), short name "Hong Kong", full name is People's Republic of China (PRC) Special Administrative Region. It is located in the south of China, east of the Pearl River Estuary, along the South China Sea, bordering Shenzhen in the north, the Pearl River in the west, and facing Macao Special Administrative Region, Zhuhai City and Zhongshan City across the Pearl River Estuary.

Hong Kong is a highly prosperous international metropolis. The whole territory consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories, with a total land area of 1 104.32 square kilometers. By the end of 20 14, the total population was about 7.264 million, ranking third in the world in population density.
