HONG KONG, July 28 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares advanced 1.8 percent to finish at a near 11-month closing high in its fourth day of gains on Tuesday, as laggard stocks continued to play catch up while local property stocks were snapped up on record new mortgage lending data.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index finished 372.92 points higher at 20,624.54, its highest closing level since early September 2008.
The China Enterprises Index, which represents top locally listed mainland Chinese stocks, rose 1.9 percent to 12,424.58, close to a 12-month high for the gauge. (Reporting by Parvathy Ullatil; Editing by Chris Lewis)
