Victoria Harbour
Stunning Skyline Views
Back to Victoria Harbour
Victoria Harbour pulses with life, with old and new ships everywhere, going every which way and the backdrop of HK's outrageous skyline (itself backdropped by the Peak). It is magnificent and I have not yet seen a collision! One senses the vitality and fast-growing economic might of all Asia in this raucous hubbub. Also, on the train to and from the airport, one gets a close-up look at the container loading and unloading areas of the port. Good stuff, for those into that sort of thing. HK is definitely one of the world's great cities and Victoria Harbour is as indispensable to HK as SF Bay is to . . . well . . . SF!

The best place to see the Island of Hong Kong from Tsim Tsa Tsui. It was outstanding as the sky was clear and the dark sky provided the building a nice canvas to display their lights.

It is the Victoria Harbor at night that would captivating onlookers and tourists. The colorful lights reflecting from the high-rise buildings onto the pitch-dark water cespecially around Christmas time creating a breathtaking view for anyone who sees it. You have to be there to truly understand how spectular it is.

As a tourist plan a quick trip to visit this take the ferry across to kowloon to see the HK sky line and enjoy the sights and scene. The ferry ride was less then .50 cent US. Great pictures taken there

Wow..talk about a perfect spot to view Hong Kong's skyline. Victoria Harbour not only shows a viewstrip of the great skyscrapers in Hong Kong but also provides a place for people to relax from the busy day, be it work or leisure. From Kowloon side, stroll the avenue of stars and walk your way to Harbour City and the rest of Tsim Sha Tsui. A great way to enjoy a busy day..

To view the Victoria Harbour from Tsimshatsui / Kowloon side, is no doubt the best view of any skyline anywhere in the world. Due to the local traditions and festivals the lighting is different for 3 to 4 times a year. During Christmas and Chinese New Year, the buildings are changing the design of colors to the theme of the year. Best place to watch the skyline is close to the Railway Tower. Very romantic and very relaxing. Light shows are often done at arround 8'clock in the evening.

first day, the sun was shinning down... way too hot. Guess i wasnt the only one thinking going up the peak, cause the queue for the tram was mega long weaving like a snake. I did cheat i caught the bus from the star ferry, i beleive i could have walked in in 5 mins. i dediced to try walking it, boy how wrong was i. i got to the second tram stop and was exausted, and beleive me i consider myself fit and plenty of stamina. well the second day i attempted it again, but i was told i could catch a 16 seater bus up with was less used by tourist and cheaper than the tram, but id get the same view if i can down, so i thought why not.

It's beautiful if you take a ferry and tour around the harbour during the christmas seasons at nite. More beautiful than Shanghai The Bund view.
