Question: How Many Islands Does Hong Kong Have?
Answer:

Just how many islands does Hong Kong have? Alot. The number of Hong Kong Islands is truly staggering, 235, including Hong Kong itself.

The biggest island is Lantau, which includes Hong Kong Disneyland and Hong Kong Airport, while the smallest islands are little more than uninhabited crops of land.

The best way to see the islands, inclduing some of Hong Kong's best beaches, is via a junk ride. These can whisk you away from the noise of Central to the peace and quiet of your own Robinson Crusoe island in a matter of minutes.
