Hong Kong Skyline

One of the most striking and recognizable skylines in the world is that of Hong Kong. This city stands out due to the high concentration of skyscrapers on the island of Hong Kong and in Kowloon, as well as the nearby mountains and harbor.

Traditional red-sailed Chinese junk boats and the iconic Star Ferry in the port stand out strikingly against the backdrop of contemporary high-rises. As the sky gets dark and the scene is lighted by city lights at night, the skyline completely alters its appearance. The top of Victoria Peak and the Kowloon waterfront (at the clock tower along Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, not far from the Star Ferry dock), both of which provide excellent views of Hong Kong's skyline. The latter site is the ideal viewing area for the nightly music A Symphony of Lights laser and light show.
