Hong Kong 4K - Morning Skyline Views - Driving Downtown
Quiet Sunday morning drive from Kowloon, through the Western Harbour Crossing Tunnel, passing through the Central District of Hong Kong Island, and up to the top of Victoria's Peak. Seeing lots of skyscrapers? Hong Kong has more than any other city in the world.
Hong Kong; Chinese: 香港, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR), is a special administrative region on the eastern side of the Pearl River estuary in southern China. With over 7.4 million people of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Originally a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, the territory has become one of the world's most significant financial centres and commercial ports. It is the world's tenth-largest exporter and ninth-largest importer, and its legal tender (the Hong Kong dollar) is the world's 9th-most traded currency (as of 2019). Hong Kong hosts the largest concentration of ultra high-net-worth individuals of any city in the world. Although the city has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, there is severe income inequality.
Hong Kong is a highly developed territory and ranks seventh on the UN Human Development Index. The city has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world and its residents have some of the longest life expectancies in the world. Over 90% of its population uses public transportation. Air pollution has resulted in a high level of atmospheric particulates in the city.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong
Hong Kong Island (Chinese: 香港島; Cantonese Yale: Hēunggóng dóu) is an island in the southern part of Hong Kong. The Central area on the island is the historical, political and economic centre of Hong Kong. The northern coast of the island forms the southern shore of the Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for the development of Hong Kong due to its deep waters favoured by large trade ships.
The island is home to many of the most famous sights in Hong Kong, such as "The Peak", Ocean Park, many historical sites and various large shopping centres. The mountain ranges across the island are also famous for hiking. The northern part of Hong Kong Island, together with Kowloon and Tsuen Wan New Town, forms the core urban area of Hong Kong.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Ko...
Victoria Peak is a hill on the western half of Hong Kong Island. It is also known as Mount Austin, and locally as The Peak. With an elevation of 552 m (1,811 ft), it is the highest hill on Hong Kong island, ranked 31 in terms of elevation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Tai Mo Shan is the highest point in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with an elevation of 957 m (3,140 ft)).
The summit is occupied by a radio telecommunications facility and is closed to the public. However, the surrounding area of public parks and high-value residential land is the area that is normally meant by the name The Peak. It is a major tourist attraction that offers views of Central, Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island, and the surrounding islands.

I’m British, I’ve never travelled to Hong Kong, but I’ve visited China in 2008. What’s striking to me is just how similar to the roads in the UK those in Hong Kong are. The majority of the road signs, the design of the street lights, traffic lights, the double-yellows, everything seems familiar! Would love to visit this place one day!

I definitely understand the terrible political situation in Hong Kong as many of my close friends from my days as a Saint Mary's University (located in my home town, Halifax, Canada) student are from there. Its unfortunate as China used to be a great place to visit. In fact, I went to Shanghai in 2007 to compete for Canada in the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games. When I visited China, I fell in love with the country and culture.

@@HalifaxHercules China is a country on its way up--we may not like the way they do certain things, but from the perspective of the locals in China, their domestic economy is stronger than ever and wages are catching up with more affluent Asian countries. I frequent Taiwan and Hong Kong, but would love to visit mainland China again, career and family logistics allowing. I haven't been since 2007, when their pollution was still very bad. It's a LOT better now in most cities, and I'm really excited about the high speed rail network too.
Nice drive in Hong Kong. Its a beautiful and interesting place. Always amazed how they build all those tall buildings up the mountain at The Peak. The bus and tram rides are so enjoyable .............

Hong Kong has so many greenery! I always thought it is a concrete jungle
@VC-bv9ig

Actually 75% of the territory in Hong Kong is not urbanized. The concrete jungle you always see in Hong Kong in fact only takes up 25% of Hong Kong's land. This is also why the housing market of Hong Kong is the craziest in the world, since the problem of land scarcity is so huge and we as Hong Kongers want to preserve the green area as much as possible. Plus the weak government did nothing to release proper land in urbanized regions to soothe the problem.

Genes Brooklyn didn’t seem that green neither, but I haven’t been to every corner either. Queens was a bit better (have the Jamaica Sanctuary, for example) and the Bronx has places like Riverdale. Overall, it didn’t come off as very green. Outside of the city though, there are mountains and nice hiking trails. I don’t think many non-New Yorkers(state) are aware of this, realize this. A native NY can correct me if I’m wrong though. I only lived in NY for half a year via Chicago, which I find a million times greener.

Going up to the peak is a really nice touch, rare to see POV on Magazine Gap Road. Btw seems you get out on the wrong exit at 11:23 and almost went into a wrong lane at 14:26 :o The Entrance of Central - Wan Chai Bypass is known as a black spot as most newbie cannot choose the right lane.
Great drive as always!
now i know the reason why a lot of people says, my place (Cebu City) looks like Hong Kong because of its terrain , mostly the mountainous area which is also part of the city. thanks for this ride =)
