His Impressions Of The Colony It was the surprise of my life to discover when I reached Hongkong that it is one of the great cities of the world with 2,500,000 inhabitants. I had always pictured it in my mind as an outpost of the Empire with little more than a tenth of this. population. And yet what did I find? A centre of the city which gave me the impression that London and New York had married and produced Hongkong as the fruit of their Union.
