Hong Kong Harbor
South China anchorage
Hong Kong Harbor, more formally Victoria Harbour, is the natural deepwater port between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
One of the world's busiest and most scenic harbors, it has shaped the city's identity as a trading hub since the 19th century.
The harbor features prominently in Hong Kong's skyline views, fireworks displays, and the nightly Symphony of Lights show: We watched the junks cross Hong Kong Harbor at sunset.
