The history of Gujaratis in Hong Kong is a long & enterprising one. Early Gujaratis, who were mostly merchants and traders first arrived Hong Kong, then a British Colony, in the late 19th century. The State of Gujarat is known to have the longest coastline compared to any other states in India which may be one of the reasons that Gujaratis have spread all across the Globe especially in East Africa, Far East & Pacific countries seeking trading opportunities. Apart from the Gujarati traders, early settlers in Hong Kong from the Gujarat state were also Parsis & Voras
