Radius Map of Hong Kong

The map above is centered on Hong Kong, Hong Kong, near Statue Square (Central), with a default 10 km radius. Drag to move it, search for a different address, or change the radius and unit using the controls.

Hong Kong sits on a deepwater harbour on the south China coast, divided between Hong Kong Island (south of the harbour), Kowloon (north of the harbour), and the New Territories (further north, bordering mainland China). Mountainous terrain and water dominate the geometry — most of the SAR is parkland, and population concentrates on a thin urban strip. Distances here are measured from Statue Square in Central (22.281° N, 114.159° E).

Population: Hong Kong (whole SAR)
Country: Hong Kong
Coordinates: 22.2810, 114.1593
Time zone: Asia/Hong_Kong

Hong Kong is split across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories — a 10 km radius from Statue Square covers most of the urban core, but mountainous terrain means the full SAR requires a 30+ km radius.

How Hong Kong radius maps get used

City-specific scenarios where a radius is the right tool — and the typical radius sizes professionals use.

Central + Mid-Levels rental search

A 3 km radius from Statue Square covers Central, Sheung Wan, Admiralty, Wan Chai, the Mid-Levels, and Tsim Sha Tsui — Hong Kong's most expensive rental market. A 5 km radius adds Mong Kok and Causeway Bay.

Typical radius: 3 km for central HK Island + TST

MTR catchment for property

Hong Kong's MTR network is the spine of the city — most residential areas are within 1 km of an MTR station. For property analysis, use a 500 m radius for true station walkability; for area-wide analysis, a 10 km radius from Central covers all the Island, Tung Chung Line, and most Kowloon lines.

Typical radius: 500 m MTR-station + 10 km urban

HK Airport service zone

Hong Kong International Airport sits on Lantau Island, ~30 km west of Statue Square. A 35 km radius is the standard airport-inclusive zone for hotel and ground-transport analysis. The Airport Express MTR connects HKG to Hong Kong Station in 24 minutes.

Typical radius: 35 km to include HKG

Cross-border Greater Bay Area catchment

The Greater Bay Area (Hong Kong + Macau + 9 mainland Chinese cities) holds about 86 million people. A 50 km radius from Hong Kong reaches Shenzhen — the closest mainland Chinese megacity at ~35 km north. For full GBA analysis, a 150 km radius from a central point like Dongguan is more appropriate.

Typical radius: 50 km for HK + Shenzhen

Geographic quirks of Hong Kong radius mapping

Local geography and infrastructure that change how a radius behaves here. Skipping these is the most common reason a radius decision goes sideways.

Mountains take 70% of the land

About 75% of Hong Kong's territory is hillside, country park, or undeveloped. Population concentrates on a narrow strip of flat land along Victoria Harbour, the Sha Tin valley, and the western New Territories. A radius from Central looks generous on the map, but most of it is uninhabited park.

Victoria Harbour splits Island from Kowloon

Victoria Harbour is only about 1–2 km wide between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, but it's a major psychological and infrastructure boundary. Cross-harbour traffic via the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, Eastern, Western, and Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok tunnels is the binding constraint — drive time can be 30+ minutes at peak.

Three regions, one SAR

Hong Kong is administratively one Special Administrative Region but functionally three: Hong Kong Island (south of harbour, 1.2 million people), Kowloon (north of harbour, 2.2 million), and the New Territories (north of Kowloon, 4 million plus). A radius drawn from Central doesn't reach the New Territories' centre until ~10 km.

FAQ — Radius mapping in Hong Kong

How big is a 10 km radius in Hong Kong?

A 10 km radius from Statue Square covers all of urban Hong Kong Island's north shore, all of Kowloon, Lai Chi Kok, Kwun Tong, and the inner New Territories — roughly 5 million people.

What's within 25 km of Hong Kong's Central?

A 25 km radius covers all of urban Hong Kong, Sha Tin, Tseung Kwan O, Tsuen Wan, and most of the densely populated New Territories. Hong Kong International Airport sits just outside at ~30 km.

Does a 35 km radius cover Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)?

Yes. HKG sits on Lantau Island about 30 km west of Statue Square, comfortably inside a 35 km radius. A 25 km radius does not reach the airport.

How far is Shenzhen from Hong Kong?

The Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau border crossings sit about 30 km north of Statue Square. Downtown Futian, Shenzhen is about 35–40 km away. A 50 km radius from Central covers most of urban Shenzhen.

Why is so much of a Hong Kong radius empty?

About 75% of Hong Kong's land is country park, hillside, or undeveloped. Population is squeezed onto narrow flat strips along the harbour and a few valleys. A 25 km radius looks like 1,960 km² of geography but the inhabited area inside is closer to 500 km².

How do I plan an MTR-station catchment in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong's MTR network is dense and most urban residents live within 1 km of a station. For property or retail analysis, a 500 m radius from any MTR station typically captures the immediate walkable catchment. For broader analysis, a 10 km radius from Central covers most of the urban MTR lines, and a 25 km radius covers the New Territories lines too.
