Please note that for the 18 images I am posting I do very minimal editing in photoshop - if you look at my images on my Flickr image site you will notice my photo’s all have a similar look to them.
The best views in Hong Kong
The best places to visit in Hong Kong
I have a thing about Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong as you might expect, I have lived in Hong Kong for 52 years and have been to the waterfront and travelled on the Star Ferry thousands of times.
As a Private Tour Guide I completed 2,324 private tours of Hong Kong between April 2011 - January 2020 with guests from all over the world.
With the exception of one, perhaps 2 particular places at the Kowloon side waterfront, I don’t think the views can compare with those at Victoria Peak, close but not close enough, but who cares what I think! No matter if you use a professional camera or a smart phone on a sunny day the view can be simply jaw dropping and there is one bonus, take a couple of rides on the Star Ferry, one famous comment by a travel writer was along the lines of it is one of the 10 best things in the world to do! I would not go that far but having ridden on it thousands of times I can confirm it is a very special experience and remarkably cheap and I have always had the pleasure of remembering it before they started reclaiming land on Hong Kong Island and it used to take 18 - 20 minutes to cross the harbour, now it takes half the time.
… and talking of the Star Ferry, always check on Google to see if they are running Afternoon Tea by the Peninsula Hotel on the Star Ferry, that is a really special experience.
The other strange thing is that the view of Kowloon from Hong Kong side at the waterfront too me is strangely subdued with only the ICC building (118 floors) providing a sensational frame of reference., it is absolutely a height thing, the view of Kowloon from Victoria Peak is mind boggling, it is not the same at sea level.
Just so we are clear, the best view is that of Hong Kong Island from the waterfront on Kowloon side looking across Victoria Harbour.
…. and now 18 of some of my favourite images I have taken featuring Victoria Harbour, they are in random order.
