Always something going on in this beautiful harbor. Very busy - Take a tour on a Chinese Junk or sail to the markets on the other side. Don't miss the light show at night from Kowloon side. The buildings light up the skyline!

Alot of tourists there especially during the lights how, so its worth getting down earlier in the day and an hour before the light show starts

The Harbour is breathtaking. Take a cruise, take a ferry or just stare out your hotel window. There is always something happening there: boats, cruise ships,light shows. Beautiful!!

One of the most impressive views we've ever seen, a symphony of lights and water, should be even more imperious after renovation works in Victoria Harbor are completed

This is probably one of the nicest places especially in the evening. You can see all the building signage across the harbor, illuminating the whole area. However, it all depends on your luck on whether you can get a good view. The smog can be so dense that you could hardly make out any buildings across the harbor.

On a clear day, that is; but unfortunately, clear days are becoming rare. You can better chance if you go during the summer; on other seasons, the wind brings pollutants from the north and occasionally you can hardly see anything. It has everything a good modern cityscape need... skyscrapers, colorful lights, harbor front, a hill that not only provides a... More
