Home > Sightseeing > Districts > "Kowloon Island" "Kowloon Island"Actually there is no such place! This one should be filed under "misunderstandings". Although Hong Kong is made up of many islands, Kowloon is not one of them. In fact it is a peninsula which is connected to the mainland of China. That is where the name of the famous Peninsular Hotel comes from. Find out more about Kowloon here. When people in Hong Kong say "The Island" they normally mean "Hong Kong Island", and you can read about that here. Alternatively "The Islands" (plural) means The Outlying Islands which are discussed here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
