High Island Detention Centre

The High Island Detention Centre (Chinese: 萬宜羈留中心) was a refugee camp in Hong Kong built near the West Dam of High Island Reservoir for hosting refugees and boat people from Vietnam.

The area is now a flat piece of grassland that is grazed by cows.

The Centre was initially managed by Hong Kong Police, and then by the CSD from 1991.

During that period, more than 20,000 boat people passed through its doors.
