Victoria Harbour Cruise : 1 of 1000 Places To See Before You Die
the last authentic Chinese junk still sailing in Victoria Harbour: the Duk Ling moored at the Central Pier
Central pier and International Finance Center, the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong towering over the magnificent skyline
the spaceage-looking Hong Kong Cultural Center and the Clock Tower in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, both landmarks of the modern city.
The Clock Tower is what's only left of the Kowloon station of the Kowloon-Canton railway in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Nearby are Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum, and the Avenue of Stars
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Behind is the World Plaza, Hong Kong's second tallest skyscraper
the magnificent skyline of Central, Hong Kong Island. The edifice, with unique climbing lines resembling growing bamboo shoots symbolizing livelihood and prosperity, is the Bank of China Tower: the 3rd highest building there.
Crossing the Victoria Harbour is one of the 50 places of a lifetime according to National Geographic and also one of the 1000 places to see before you die.
Tutubi has only been to seven of the 1000 places...993 places more to visit! :)
Star Ferry's Harbour Tour Ticket Prices:
Round Trip Ticket costs HK$45 during the day, HK$95 at night and HK$135 during A Symphony of Lights multimedia show featuring the buildings on the harbour front in a spectacular light sequence.
You may get your tickets at the following
Central Star Ferry Pier, Wan Chai Star Ferry Pier, Hung Hom Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier

Wow, very impressive. I haven't been to Hongkong and probably will never get to see it. At least I got to see it here and I'm quite impressed with the sights.

Grabe, ang galing ng skyline.
I remember I went to Hongkong when I was a kid. I don't know if I rode the ferry though.
Is this list from the book? I'm quite interested to find out what the thousand places are. :) -

Very nice picures ! Isn't it that the HKG harbor is slowly shrinking as the govt has reclaimed a lot of area to build new buildings ?
