    The Peak is simply awesome! You get to it by going up a mountain by bus, car, or tram (I’d advise bus - it’s cheapest and fairly quick). You also go through a mall before hitting the viewing point, so go with an empty stomach as the restaurants up there are a delight. The view is simply stunning and is hard to put into words. I would suggest going during the day rather than at night. Whereas Tsim Sha Tsui is at its best during the evening and night, I think Victoria Peak really stands out during the day, as you see the skyscrapers in their raw strength and power.

    It is a must visit place in Hong Kong, but it's just too crowded due in the weekend. If I come here to travel, I will pick up weekday to avoid the crowd and Enjoy the Seaview and nice vibe

    One of the most easily recognisable skyscrapers amongst the Hong Kong Skyline is the Bank of China (BOC) tower. Designed by Chinese-American architect L.M. Pei, the building was opened in 1990 and at 72 floors, was the tallest building in Hong Kong until passing that torch to Central Plaza three years later. The BOC Tower is located between Cotton Tree Drive and Garden Road, just off Queensway in the Central District.

    The BOC Tower exterior is elegant and sleek and is based on important feng shui principles. The framework is that of a stack of triangles reaching upward to the sky. It is particularly attractive to view at night, when the triangular outlines are lit up brightly while the rest of the building remains dark, blending into the night sky.

    In addition to viewing the BOC Tower from up close and locations such as Hong Kong Park and Victoria Peak on the Hong Kong side, it is also easily recognisable during harbour ferry rides as well as prime locations on the TST side including the Avenue of Stars promenade, upper floor sky bars, restaurants and viewing platforms near the harbour.

    There's a free observation deck that's mostly empty on the roof. Structure is marvelously designed but most of the outside seems hardly maintained. The brilliantly designed structure is mostly the outer entry/retail area as inside where the ticketing and customs area remains pretty ordinary. Must recommend for architecture enthusiasts.

    The Ocean Terminal Deck is one of the many outdoor harbour side venues, this one located at the far end of the Ocean Terminal at Harbour City in TST, affording visitors outstanding 270 degree views of Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong Island and West Kowloon Culture District. The deck is open from 7am to midnight each day.

    They have a fun, child-friendly exhibition this summer at the Ocean Terminal Deck. There is a 4.6 metre tall, Robotic T-Rex on display that moves around and growls, providing a bit of excitement and family photo opportunities for those who visit at this time. Check out the Harbour City website (lifestyle page) for future events and exhibitions held at the outdoor viewing deck area if planning to visit in the future.

    The Sky Corridor is part of the Green Plaza outdoor area around and atop the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station in the West Kowloon Culture District. Access is just outside the HSR Station as well as the Austin MTR Station (exit B5). Presently the Sky Corridor is open from 7am until 10pm daily and is free to access and enjoy.

    What you find here is a very nicely landscaped, arched walkway that ascends the curved roof structure of the station. The platform is lined with purple and yellow grasses and other plants until you reach two observation platforms which provide delightful views over the West Kowloon Culture District (much remains under construction), Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Skyline. When sky conditions are favourable, these are rewarding viewpoints.

    Note: Because the Sky Corridor isn't promoted as a tourist attraction nor mentioned much of anywhere online, it remains something of an unknown even to many locals here in Hong Kong. Visits these days will come with likely only a few other people at the corridor. This will change in time as the place is very impressive but at least for now, it is something of a hidden gem in place sight. You just have to know its there when passing by.

    The Sai Wan Stargazing Site is located between Sai Wan Beach and Ham Tin Beach along the MacLehose Stage 2 and Tai Long Wan Hiking trails in the Sai Kung East Country Park. As such, it is not an easy place to visit and is best suited for those overnight camping at one of the two beaches. In this case, you can enjoy stargazing from this this location, which is about as far away from the Hong Kong light pollution as you are going to find in the territory.

    The Stargazing Site can be reached by walking the trail north of Sai Wan Beach for approximately 10-15 minutes. What you will find is a wavy seating bench whereby you can sit, lean back slightly and look at the stars above if visiting at night. During the day, you will pass this location while hiking the two trails mentioned above. Have a brief look and then continue onwards.
