22. Make a comparison between Formosa and Ceylon. Adopt
relief these beading in your discussion: climate, a products, large cities and export items,
"
The similarities as well as the difference! between Taiwan and Ceylon are listed below in the order prescribed:
Clima ta
When their climatic conditions are taken into, consideration, Ceylon has many points in common with Formosa, Firstly, both of the islands benefit. from their insular position and thus are free from great extremes in temperature. The annual ranges of temperature recorded on both islands are small for places lying on the same latitudes. Secondly, their climates are modified by the regular passage of the two monsoons, the S.N. monsoon and the N.E. monsoon. Thirdly, the pattern of rainfall distribucion on both islands is irregular, the rainiest parts being the windward slopes of the hills and the amount of rainfall received depends much on the direction from whic? tra prevailing winds come in that season, the aruuel total varying from 40" to 200".
However, there are differences resulting from variation in latitude. Ceylon has an Equatorial Climate wharees Formosa, lying astride the Tropic of Cancer, possesses tropical monsconal climate. The former has an average annual temperature of 8007, the later records 80°F in summer and 60°F in winter.
Kalder
Both islands have a central mass of mountains surrounded by coastal plains of varying widths, Ceylon's central mass of mountains occupies the greater part of the wider southern half of the island. To its west, south and east, there is a relatively narrow coastal plain which is undulating in character. In the north, the plain is almost flat and is less than 300 feet above sea-level. In Formosa, the mountainous backbone liss nearer to the east. Slopes to the east descend precipituously; to the west, the slopes are gentle. The main trend of hills is north to south and the wider plain is along the western coast. The island can thus be divided into two physical regions: the eastern mountain consistin of four ranges and the western plains which is drained by several streams,
Products
"Ceylon's heavy rainfall and constant high' temperatures suit moet of the plantation cropa. Rubber, tea, and coconuts are grown on suitable lands at different altitudes, Rice is mainly grown on the coastal lowlands, especially in the southwest. In Formosa, rice is also the staple,
food crop. Sugar-cane is another large crop; teamw bananas and pineapples occupy considerable acrea;
Taiwan is rich in minerals, such as coal, gold and petroleum, Coal mines are near Keelung and oil is obtained in the north. But Ceylon's mineral wealth is insignificant, the chief products are graphite and gemstones.
23. (a) Disousa"the"advantages and disadvantages of
"Hong Kong as an industrial centre,'
(b) What have contributed to the growth of Hong
Yong as a tourist centre?{
ane. («){ The 'disadvantages] or nong Kong as an][industrial
'contre aro:
1. Scarcity of land suitable forīindustryj Industrial development in Hong Kong 14: handicapped by allack of level lami 'suitable for industry,-koen'competitionfrag such land as is available and the high) cost of site formation in the Colony!» predominantly hilly terrain,
2. Shortage of fresh water is a constant thri 3. The supply of electric power is dependent
on imported fuel.
Virtually all raw materials have to be' imported, for instance, cotton for the textile industry, rubber for footware.
5. The government's accepted policy of non-
interference with economic force precludes subsidies or protection of any kind. There are no protective tariffs behind which local industry can shelter and develop on a firm basis of internal consumption. Foreign competition especially that from Japan and ' mainland China has become a serious problem to be tackled.
6. Hong Kong faces increasing obstacle to the
free flow of its exports, Foreign discrimination and restrictions block one market after the other. Surcharges imposed upon
imports into other countrida including the United Kingdom, bring further damitations to the industrial expansion of the Colony.
The cher advantares are:
1. Ita sition and harbour: Hong Kong lies on
the crossroads between the East and the west. Shipa call at the port frequently and regularly. With its well developed docking facilities and excellent harbour that has only a small tidal range, it can let in raw materials at relatively cheap costs and manufactured goods can be shipped abroad quickly in alike convenient manner. In addition, it is situated at the entrance, to South China which offera a suitable market and promises almost an unlimited supply of cheap labour.
2. There is a large, working population,
Industrious, thrifty, intelligent and adetable, sifiro vith the traditionally far-ranging interest and connections of the merchant community. Widespread skill is merchandising techniques inhèrited from the entrepot era and highly developed banking insurance and shipping system, have obviously accelerated Hong Kong's industrial; growth.
HONG KOK
The forest of Taiwan produces camphor, lacquer, bamboo and canes whereas the forest of Ceylon are of no great economic value. Fishing le an important industry in Keelung, Kaoshung and Soyo of Taiwan, but of no outstanding status in Ceylon.
Large cities and export items
•
Taipah is the chief town and port in Taiwan with Keelung acting as its outport. Taichung is an important collecting centre on the Western Plain while Tainan functions as the major commercial centre in the south-west, Colombo is the chief port of Ceylon, and the commercial centre Situated on the south-west coast, it ranks higher than Taipeh on the list of the world's famous entrecots and is known as the Pillar Box of the East. The other important cities are Galle to the south of Colombo and Trincomalee on the east coast. Ceylon has three important exports - tea, rubber and coconut products. Formosa exports sugar, fruit, camphor and tea.

3. Capital: une general facility with which
industry may be established and conducted in Hong Kong has attracted investors. Capital resources come sither from local residents or overseas America, Australia, Britain, Japan and Indonesia, The political stability of the territory and the offical policies have encouraged enterprising.

to compensate for the general lack of factor sites, of constructing large reservoirs to offset the water shortage problem etc. have laid the prerequisites for expansion in this sphere.
(b) Tourism has become who w the colony's major
industriesi As a source of foreign exchange earnings for Hong Kong, it is second only to the textile industry. The chief factors that have contributed to this phenomenal growth are:
1. its geographicalˇposition: Hong Kong liea
on the international trade routes. It la easily reached by air or by water from U.3.A., Western Europe and Australia nov, to mention the neighbouring Far East
rural landscape. The New Territories presenc to the visitors a glimpse of farming life in China, its typical small farms, terracea fields and intensive cultivation practices, The floating population at Aberdeen is unique in European eyes. Hong Kong is often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Orient' a blanding of the East and the west.
4. Free port policy: A great range of commodatas:
is available at attractive prices for the tourists. This include both local and foreign products. Shopping fills most of the visistors" time in Hongkong. Although there has been a tendency for prices of popular goods to rise, bargains are still plentifu. 5. Promotion by government and private
enterprises: There has been rapid and imaginative development in matter of receiving incoming tourists, by air and by sea, and improvement in facilities for the. tourists such as hotel accommodation and other amenities.

countries. It goes without saying that it is a great tourist centre in the great area of the Pacific and the Far East, Its good harbour and airfield help a lot in bringing in people,
2. Climate: October to March are the best
months to visit Hong Kong. A pleasant, fine, dry autumn lasts from mid-September to the beginning of November. Temperature, humidity and rainfall are then all decreasing The second half of October is usually particularly agreeable, with clear sunny skies and an average temperature above 60°F. It is just the time for the "

Europeans and Americans to get away from
their cold winters and for the Austrálians
to leave their summer heat.
3. Scenic beauty: The hilly nature of the Colony gives rise to many features
attractive to visitors, for example, ite harbour, waterfront, beaches, peak and
