Read more leased from Qing China to the United Kingdom in 1898 for 99 years, following the cession of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in earlier years. Upon the expiry of the lease, the three areas were handed over to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The boundaries of the New Territories has changed with time. First defined by the Second Convention of Peking, it originally consisted of the mainland area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and south of the Sham Chun River (now the border between Hong Kong and mainland China), along with over 200 outlying islands, including Lantau Island, Lamma Island, Cheung Chau, and Peng Chau. Later extension of the Kowloon urban areas saw the region between Boundary Street and the Kowloon Ranges, spanning from Lai Chi Kok to Lei Yue Mun, gradually absorbed into Kowloon as New Kowloon. Nevertheless, New Kowloon remains statutorily part of the New Territories.
