Introduction

Victoria Harbour is a port between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, with a sea area that stretches from Lei Yue Mun in the east to a sea boundary line at Green Island, then to the west shoreline of Hong Kong Island. With its wide expanse and deep waters, it is a natural harbor and has earned Hong Kong the nickname "Pearl of the Orient" and the reputation of being one of the "Three Best Night Scenes in the World." The name of Victoria Harbour comes from Queen Victoria of England. Every year, there are different themed fireworks displays which make it a must-see attraction for tourists. Since the early years, the British saw the potential of Victoria Harbour becoming an excellent port in East Asia, and after acquiring Hong Kong from the Qing government, they swiftly developed their maritime trade in the Far East. Victoria Harbour has greatly influenced the history and culture of Hong Kong, leading the development of its economy and tourism industry, and becoming one of the key factors in making Hong Kong an international metropolis. You can choose a sightseeing boat and enjoy panoramic views of famous landmarks and scenery.
