WPG vs. HK

I wanted to write a post about the size and population differences of Winnipeg and Hong Kong for a while, but today I am finally posting it. The image below is a map of Hong Kong with map of Winnipeg overlay. I constrained Winnipeg to to the Perimeter Hwy as border to scale the two together. The red portion of the map is Wan Chai District where I live. It has an area which is just a little larger than the University of Manitoba's land [running from pembina hwy to the river]. Wan Chai has around 150,000 people, compared to the 650,000 in all of Winnipeg. You can click on the map for a closer look.
