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.
'The team at Trip Designs planned an awesome trip for my family to the Dominican Republic. All we had to do was email Milica the dates we wanted to go and a wish list of what we wanted included. She took care of all the research and once we were satisfied, she took care of all the details. We are not easy to please but we were with her services and loved our trip! We will be booking again with her soon enough for our future trips! Thanks Trip Designs!'
