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.

Melanie is the best travel agent I have ever worked with. She not only finds great options but she takes care of you during and after your trip. She truly goes above and beyond. She is dedicated, professional, knowledgeable and highly responsive! We have booked two trips to Cuba and one trip to Dominican with her in the past three years and she has exceeded our expectations each time. I look forward to booking our next trip with her!
