Hong Kong Island, Island in southern Hong Kong, China.
Hong Kong Island spans 80.4 square kilometers and contains four main districts: Central and Western, Eastern, Southern, and Wan Chai Districts.
British forces seized the island in January 1841, and it was formally ceded to Britain through the Treaty of Nanking in 1842.
The island combines traditional Chinese temples with modern financial buildings, representing the fusion of Eastern and Western influences in Hong Kong.
The Mass Transit Railway system connects the island from east to west, with stations serving major commercial and residential areas.
The northern shore forms Victoria Harbour, which maintains sufficient depth for large vessels and supports international maritime trade.
