Islands District, Administrative district in south-western Hong Kong.

The Islands District spans 182 square kilometers across multiple islands, including Lantau Island and numerous smaller populated territories south of Hong Kong.

The district boundaries were established during the 1870s to address growing administrative needs as communities expanded across different islands in the region.

The district maintains traditional fishing practices and maritime traditions, with local markets offering fresh catches and seafood specialties throughout the islands.

Transportation within the Islands District operates through an integrated network of ferries connecting various islands, supplemented by bus services on Lantau Island.

The district contains Hong Kong International Airport on Chek Lap Kok Island, serving as a primary gateway for international travel to the region.
