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.
Lisa created the perfect holiday for me and my family to explore wonderful British Columbia. Her intimate knowledge of where to stay, what to eat and things to do proved invaluable and saved me weeks of online research! And when forest fires created some last minute concerns, she was incredibly helpful and put together contingency plans that set our minds at ease. Thanks!
