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.

Michelle Took Care of Everything!

I’m not very good with words, but I wanted to share how much I appreciated Michelle arranging my recent trip. She took care of everything for me — from picking the perfect seats on my flights to arranging wheelchair assistance so I could get through the airports without any stress. It made such a big difference and took all the worry out of travelling. I felt completely looked after. Thank you, Michelle, for making my trip so easy and comfortable.
