Hong Kong: Skyline

The Hong Kong has at least 7,792 high-rise buildings, with no fewer than 1,268 skyscrapers standing taller than 100 m  and at least 308 buildings over 150 m  in height. The tallest of these skyscrapers is the 118-storey International Commerce Centre, completed in 2010, which stands 484 m and is the ninth tallest building in the world. The skyline of Hong Kong is considered one of the best in the world, with the surrounding mountains and Victoria Harbour complementing the skyscrapers. Each evening, at least 44 skyscrapers and buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour light up in a synchronised show called A Symphony of Lights, named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest permanent light and sound festival in the world.

Hong Kong: Port

The Port of Hong Kong, located by the South China Sea, is a deep water seaport dominated by trade in containerised manufactured products, and to a lesser extent raw materials and passengers. A key factor in the economic development of Hong Kong, the natural shelter and deep waters of Victoria Harbour provide ideal conditions for berthing and the handling of all types of vessels. It is one of the busiest ports in the world, in the three categories of shipping movements, cargo handled and passengers carried.

Thanks to Mr Henning.

Hong Kong: Peak Tram

The Peak Tram is a funicular railway in Hong Kong, which carries both tourists and residents to the upper levels of Hong Kong Island. Running from Garden Road Admiralty to Victoria Peak via the Mid-Levels, it provides the most direct route and offers good views over the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong.

Thanks to Shrikanth and Sandhya who were visiting Hongkong.
