We Contemplate The “skyline ” Of Hong Kong Bay

Hong Kong Bay is one of the most photogenic bays that can be visited in the world. A spectacular architectural complex that also seems to be enveloped in a different atmosphere. Something that is undoubtedly the most appropriate, considering the peculiar history and the unique conditions that distinguish it from any other corner of China.

Save Hong Kong Bay

The Hong Kong territory today includes several islands, and it is the largest that gives its name to the whole. But it also includes part of the mainland, especially the Kowloon Peninsula, which is a short distance away. In fact, from it you can see the best view of the famous Hong Kong Bay skyline .

We will talk to you about the best location to take that photograph below, but now we will tell you how to cross Hong Kong Bay, since one can stay both in the modern area of ​​the island and in the streets of Kowloon. And the best way to bridge that distance is by ferry .

Star ferry

Those ferries are those of the historic Star Ferry fleet. In just a quarter of an hour you can cross from one shore to another, and at a very reasonable price. In fact, it is considered the best value for money boat trip in the world.

And it is not only cheap, but the tour is the most special, contemplating on one side and the other a unique architectural complex.

The Tsim Sha Tsui East Boardwalk

In Kowloon there is no possible loss to head to this boardwalk, which is the best place to see Hong Kong Bay, also known as Victoria Harbor.

At any time of day or night there will be tourists, taking the most emblematic photo of the place and capturing the infinite details of light and color that the fusion of the blue of the sea with the skyscrapers provides.

During the day these architectures are best appreciated, whose modernity still attracts more attention when the bay of Hong Kong is crossed by a traditional Chinese boat, with its large sail clipped over the steel and glass buildings.

But at night, the views are just as spectacular. Then all those architectural details are no longer appreciated, but you attend a most suggestive light show. A place to relax and dream about the future, while viewing the illuminated silhouettes of the most iconic buildings in Hong Kong Bay.

HSBC building

Without a doubt, of all the monumental and contemporary ensemble of Hong Kong Bay, the most charismatic and praised is the building that Norman Foster built to be the headquarters of the Shanghai Bank. A building that is one of the great works of art of the late twentieth century.

Bank of China Tower

After Foster’s work, others would arrive, but of course the most spectacular is the Bank of China Tower. A large tower built with triangles and crystals, which has become another landmark in the silhouette of Hong Kong Bay.

Victoria Peak

We have already presented you two ideal places to contemplate the skyline of the bay, both almost at sea level, both on board the Star Ferry and from the Kowloon seafront. Well, now we suggest you enjoy the same panorama, but from a high point of view.

To do this, you have to take the Peak Tram, a tram that rises up the mountain that closes the Hong Kong Bay. Once we have quickly and comfortably saved that slope, we only have to climb to the top and the Peak Tower.

A trip that is worth it, since we will see Hong Kong from above, one of the most exciting and dynamic urban complexes on the entire planet.
