Administrative Districts

Home » Hong Kong » Major Cities and Regions » Administrative Districts

There are 18 administrative districts in Hong Kong. Each district has a district council and a district board. The districts were established in the 1980’s when Hong Kong was under the rule of Britain as a crown colony. There are also several cities and towns, the largest of which are Victoria (Hong Kong Island), Kowloon, Tseun Wan New Town, and Sha Tin New Town. They are not, however, granted any formal administrative status. The eighteen districts are broken up into three groups: The New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island.
