[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hong Kong consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. The Kowloon Peninsula is attached to the New Territories in the north, and the New Territories are in turn connected to mainland China across the Sham Chun River (Shenzhen River). In total, Hong Kong has 236 islands in the South China Sea, of which Lantau is the largest. Hong Kong Island itself is the second largest and also the most populated. Ap Lei Chau is the most densely populated island in the world.

Hong Kong is on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta on the southeastern coast of China, facing the South China Sea in the south, and bordering Guangdong Province in the north. It has one of the world's most liberal economies and is a major international centre of finance and trade.

High above Hong Kong, is Victoria Peak, where tourists can stand and marvel at the restless city of Kowloon at all hours of the day. Located on the western side of the island, it is the highest point in Hong Kong, rising a third of a mile into the waiting sky.

hi Tsilla

The last time I came up here to the Peak must be year 2001 but at the time, not really into photography so I did not have good photos. Very nicely captured view of the city skyline from this POV. Many will stay up here for lunch or dinner and watch sunset. I wonder if you had dinner and saw the evening sky? 2005 was already digital camera age.

Good work.

After we got off the plane (1982) the first thing that our chinese friends did was to take us to the Peak. Loads of pictures but not digital but still great souvenirs.
