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.

Very Thorough

Melanie once again helped us plan our recent holiday to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana including a 3 day stopover in Dubai. She was careful to assess what we wanted to include in the trip, how we wished to travel between stops and what standard of accommodation we wanted. She is very thorough in her planning and was able within a short period of time to bring the plan together. It was a wonderful trip and went without any problems....
