Description
Victoria Harbour is a natural harbour in Hong Kong, famous for its stunning skyline and lively maritime activity. It separates Hong Kong Island from the Kowloon Peninsula and offers spectacular views of the city’s skyscrapers, especially at night when the buildings light up the water.
One of the best ways to experience the harbour is by taking the Star Ferry, which has been operating since 1888. The ferry runs between Central on Hong Kong Island and Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, providing visitors with scenic boat rides and exceptional views of the skyline. Along the Kowloon side, the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is a popular spot for waterfront strolls and offers great views of the harbour. The promenade also features the Avenue of Stars, a tribute to Hong Kong’s film industry, making it a must-see for tourists.
Victoria Harbour is also known for its dazzling night time spectacle called the Symphony of Lights, a multimedia show featuring lights and music that illuminate buildings on both sides of the harbour. For a unique experience, visitors can take a cruise on the Aqua Luna, a traditional Chinese junk boat, which offers a charming way to see the harbour from the water. Whether by ferry, on foot, or by boat, Victoria Harbour provides an unforgettable experience showcasing the heart of Hong Kong.
