The heart of Hong Kong
Hong Kong Island is best described as a city within a city; it is the most densely populated part of Hong Kong. The center of Hong Kong Island can also be called the political, historical and economic heart of Hong Kong. The north shore of the island forms the south shore of Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for Hong Kong’s economic development due to its deep waters favored by large trading ships.
The city itself is centered on Victoria Harbour. The areas surrounding the main business district are well known for their restaurants and clubs. Causeway Bay, a large-scale shopping mall is also located on Hong Kong Island. Towering above everything else is the Peak which is Hong Kong’s main scenic spot and also its main residential area which has plenty of public greens for those who want to relax in the fresh air.
Hong Kong Island, the bustling financial and commercial center with its tall skyscrapers, has a lot to offer: shops, bars, company headquarters and, for those who fancy it, a bit of culture, especially a few museums and some monuments. However, one place not to be missed is Victoria Peak, where you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding area. One of the best beaches in Hong Kong is definitely Repulse Bay. The best way to see all of this in Hong Kong Island is definitely by tram, as it offers fast transportation with some novelties.
There are several hotels on Hong Kong Island, which is to be expected as it is a focal point for tourists visiting Hong Kong.
