Maps of Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is the vibrant heart of Hong Kong, located just south of the Kowloon Peninsula and serving as the third largest island by size in the Hong Kong region. This dynamic island combines towering skyscrapers with lush country parks, creating one of the world's most stunning urban landscapes. Heavily developed with commercial and residential buildings along the north coast facing Victoria Harbour, and featuring residential developments and pristine beaches on the south coast, Hong Kong Island offers an incredible diversity of experiences within a relatively compact area.

The South Eastern part of the island is least developed and contains great country walks, secluded beaches and quiet villages, but is comparatively hard to reach with only buses, minibuses and taxis being viable means of reaching many parts.
