SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS


Hong Kong Skyline View will take your breath away. In my case, twice! There is really no place like Hong Kong. Voted No.1 Best attraction in Hong Kong is its breathtaking Skyline View. According to CNN saying that Hong Kong makes the picture-perfect two-dimensional skyline both during the day and night. Hong Kong also topped New York City as having the best skyline in the world. 

There are two ways of getting the best view of Hong Kong. 

#1 : Views from ferries crossing Victoria Harbour


You can enjoy the skyline by taking the famous Star Ferryor other ferry ship across the lovely Victoria Harbour. This is one of the most memorable skyline I ever had from a ferry ride,  that was also my last ride before departing Hong Kong. The rainbow reflection from the water makes the night view even more glamorous.  Each way is only $2 USD. Hong Kong is such an happening place enriched with traditional cultures and histories of its people. What we are witnessing today, is the aftermath of the hundred years of battles, millions of handwork, and sacrifices. 






#2 : Views from Victoria Peak


I personally think that the best views of the Hong Kong Island side come from the world famous Victoria Peak with its glamorous views of Hong Kong Island skyscrapers. My friend and I were both trying to catch the sunset at the Peak so we took the MTR to the tram station. Since it is peak season, the tram takes at least 3 hours in line! She instantly changed the game plan and decided to take the double decker bus to catch another express  bus from the Star Ferry Pier to the Peak. I am really glad that we choose to ride the double decker bus, as you get to see the downtown sitting from the top view. 
When we made it to the top of the peak, it was just in time for the sunset. We waited approximately 30min for the sky to get dark and needless to say, the skyline at the Peak was the highlight of my trip.
