- Looking north, from Victoria Peak, Hong Hong, China (click for larger image)
Across the skyscrapers of Hong Kong’s Central District, to Kowloon and the mountains of the New Territories, and China proper.
The view from Victoria Peak (on a clear day, which is rare) is magnificent. It’s the highest point on Hong Kong Island. The mountain features some of the most expensive real estate in the world.
As per Corina’s request.

Hong Kong's Star Ferry, at night.
Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong, is something to behold at night. Hong Kong Island is a sea of lights, reflecting off the water. The Star Ferry makes its way across the harbor, again and again, in the neon-tinted darkness.
For more information on the Star Ferry see my post: Star Ferry: High Seas

The observation platform atop Victoria Peak (aka The Peak) on Hong Kong Island.
At 552 meters, Victoria Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island. The mountain features some of the most expensive real estate in the world. During colonial times it was the retreat of the rich, who were carried to the top in sedan chairs. That was probably fun in an elitist, colonial way.
The Peak is now accessible by road (a damn scary drive) or tram. With 7 million visitors per year The Peak is one of Honk Kong’s highest drawing tourist attractions, offering visitors stunning views of the surrounding area.

A popular tea stand on Stanley Street (the Street of Camera Shops), Central District, Hong Kong SAR. Getting a decent shot was difficult. There was always too many damn people in the way. I wasn’t brave enough to try the tea, it was the color of a mud puddle.
