What's not to love about the skyline you've seen in a million pictures. Simply fantastic ! Enjoy the light show each night at 8pm or (my favourite) find a bar before sundown with a great view and watch how the view changes between day and night time.

Stunning views to be had from the TST shoreline both in the day and night .The light show at 8pm is worth a look although we were distracted by thousands of mostly Chinese tourists heading off to view a huge rubber duck moored next to the ferry terminal a King Kong sized version of the type you have in your...

My trip to The island of Hong Kong was fantastic. I tried to see everything there was to see. I loved touring the island via the Big Bus. Loved the cable ride to the Peak, the boat ride on a sampan, the day trip to Macau.

The skyline is simply gorgeous, you can't believe there are so many buildings! Also you can see some ships or boats passing by, which makes it even nicer. The music and lights show was quite disappointing for us, just some lasers coming from three buildings and the music was horrible. Higher expectations than what it really was.

HK does have a nice skyline--both from the Kowloon as well as the HK Island side. The light show does a lot to further accentuate the skyline.

No matter where you view this from, it is just absolutely stunning both day and night. I viewed it from the 25th floor of the Prince's building, from the Peak and from the Aon office. At night it is just so spectacular, especially during the 8:15 pm light show. The contrast of the skyscapers against the tropical peaks is just... More

Best view is at 8pm from the Avenue of Stars to watch the light show? There are lots of people so getting there 15 minutes before is advised. After the show walk down the Avenue and have your photo taken by ne of the many photographers. But don't be misled by the advertised 20 dollar price, that's for a thumb... More

This is one of Hong Kong's trademarks. It's a good visit either in the morning or evening. You can jog/walk around and enjoy the cool breeze in the morning; or spend a relaxing time looking at the view of building lights in the evening. The Hong Kong skyline is just a few minutes walk from the center of Tsim Tsa... More
