香港 · Asia's World City
Hong Kong
Where the mountains meet the harbour and the neon never quite goes out. A photographic look at Asia's world city.
A thousand square kilometres of mountains, water, and skyline, where seven and a half million lives press together against one of the most dramatic harbours on earth.

維多利亞港
Victoria Harbour
One of the deepest natural maritime harbours in the world, ringed by a skyline that runs from Central across the water to Kowloon. Every night at eight the towers light up for the Symphony of Lights.
太平山頂
The Peak
Ride the funicular tram up Victoria Peak for the postcard view: the harbour, the islands, and a wall of towers folding into the hills. The best vantage point on Hong Kong Island, and has been since 1888.
街頭
Streets & neon
Down at pavement level the city is louder: trams, signboards, markets, and dai pai dong steam. This is where Hong Kong actually happens.
