Svart Ryokōsha
★★★★★4 months agoA must see spot in Hong Kong, the night view of Victoria harbour truly represents this city. Tourists usually stack around Tsim Sha Tsui, but there are many alternative places with less crowd. One place i would recommend is the west kowloon park. Besides, views are also great on the star ferry
Tim Chu
★★★★★5 months agoAs always, forever stunning view of Hong Kong island from Kowloon side. Day time view can be a bit hazy as there is humidity in the air. At night the view transforms to the beautiful and modernized light show of the buildings across the harbour. Plenty of public spaces to walk around or exercise around. Highly recommended as a must visit in Hong Kong.
