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 co-incide with the natural extends of the cities or towns. The following listing is compiled by geography, and evidence from written documents that Victoria City (sometimes the sprawl along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island included) and Kowloon (New Kowloon included) are referred to as two cities, or as twin cities.
