List of cities and towns in Hong Kong

The following is a list of cities, towns and new towns in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Government is unitary and does not define cities and towns. The limits of "the City of Victoria", "Kowloon" and "New Kowloon" are stated in law, but none of these three areas has the legal status of a city or a town. Districts of Hong Kong are drawn according to mountains, coastlines and roads, and do not coincide with the natural extents of any urbanized areas. The following listing is organized by geography.
