Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is an island in the southern part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It has a population of 1,289,500 and its population density is 16,390/km², as of 2008. The island had a population of 3,000 inhabitants scattered in a dozen fishing villages when it was occupied by the United Kingdom in the First Opium War in 1842, and the City of Victoria was then established on the island by the British Force in honour of Queen Victoria. The Central area on the island is the historical, political and economic centre of Hong Kong. The northern coast of the island forms the southern shore of the Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for the development of Hong Kong due to its deep waters favoured by large trade ships.

5 weeks in Asia

5 weeks in Asia Denise coordinated all details for our month in SE Asia and we are so grateful for her! We loved every hotel recommendation and the transfers were all seamless. She even suggested different islands and locations which I appreciated. She was very quick to respond (no matter what time it was!) and very patient. We will use her again!
