Hong Kong consists of 1,097 km2 of the earth's surface. Of this only ~10% is natural flat land, and around 40 km2 is human made (reclamations). Most of Hong Kong's landscape is described as 'upland'.
To study Hong Kong's landscape in more detail, I'd like you to read a very up-to-date and attractively written summary that describes Hong Kong's landscape in a way than can give life to maps. As you read this slightly-edited extract from Exploring Hong Kong's Countryside by Edward Stokes (1999), have a map of Hong Kong, or a map/satellite image open beside you (there's a good one at http://geology.com/world/hong-kong-satellite-image.shtml, or perhaps you can use Google Maps). This will help you to see the big picture of Hong Kong!
