Other websites about Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the most high-tech of all modern cities and so has been on the cutting edge of websites right from the beginning of the world wide web.  The Hong Kong Government started its web presence in 1996 while the Tourist Board started to promoted HK as an important travel destination in 2001, the same year that Google opened their google.com.hk Hong Kong search engine.

Today the biggest Hong Kong websites include discuss.comhk, and nextmedia.com, an important local news service owned by a magazine company.  The hkgolden.com is a very popular local Chinese language discussion site, while post852.com is named for the telephone country code and is an online only news site.
