Know Where to Go in Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong may be well known for its modern skyscrapers. That area is only a tiny portion of the greater Hong Kong. There is Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, and the Outlying Islands.

Getting to Know Hong Kong Island

The island only consists of 7% of the total territory, and yet that minor percentage holds Hong Kong’s most iconic skyscrapers, financial and business districts, and some of the best restaurants in the world.
