Today the place that I’m going to talk about is
the life – line of one of the most pepped – up cities in the world, Hong Kong.
Why so? This is because there is no other place in Hong Kong where one would
feel so energetic and lively. Coming to this place makes you feel how precious
life is. I am talking about the Victoria Harbor. It is both strategically and
naturally considered to be the heart of Hong Kong.
Victoria Harbor is a natural landform harbor
and the largest harbor in China and the largest in the world. It lies between
the Hong Kong islands and the Kowloon
Peninsula. If historically analyzed the fact that Victoria harbor lies
in the South China Sea, made it a British Colony and later on it was due to
this harbor only that China was able to establish proper trade relationships.
Thus it became the trading center of China. As we must have read about the
excellent form of economy that China switched to, it would not have been possible without this harbor.
Cruising in a harbor like this is a feels like
heaven experience. Going to the Victoria Harbor and not having cruised is
something incredulous and foolish at the same time. One cannot simply afford to
miss any fun in a place like this which is so concentrated with energy and
life. There is not just one but many
ways in which cruising options are available in the Victoria Harbor. Here we
have the Morning Harbor Cruise, Afternoon Harbor Cruise, Evening Harbor Cruise,
Sunset Harbor Cruise, Sunset Harbor Cruise and last the Symphony Harbor Cruise
Beginning with the Morning Harbor Cruise, which is undoubtedly the best
way to kick start a morning. The tourists get to board a Chinese style tour
boat. The sun will be seen rising through this island city and meanwhile the
tourists will be taking tour of all the famous place of the city which mostly
includes the tallest buildings of Hong Kong. Then there will be the award
winning Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center Wan Chai and also the former
British navy Base. Then the cruise will start heading eastwards where Shau Typhoon
Shelter is found and fishermen are found
mooring their fishing boats. Then one would also get to see the famous Noon day
gun at the Causeway Bay.
Not leading to a great difference the Afternoon
Cruise is almost the same as the morning one
in terms of the place it will take the tourists too. Located between the
Hong Kong islands and the Kowloon region as the cruise proceed so ne gets to
see the beautiful and splendid sky scarpers of Hong Kong. Further besides the
Naval base one also gets to see the HSBC Main building, the Peak and many others.
Then the cruise proceeds towards Yau
Ma Tei Hong Kong’s oldest typhoon shelter and than towards the Stone – Cutters Bridge.
The specialty about the Stone – Cutter bridge is that it is the world’s second
longest cable – stayed bridge in the world.
Evening harbor can mainly be divided into two
segments. The first one is the Pre – Dinner Sunset Cruise in which the cruise
mainly take the tourists towards eastern
tip of the Kowloon Peninsula. All this
while because it is a Pre – Dinner Cruise, the cruisers will be given various
complimentary and exotic drinks. After this comes the pearl of orient Dinner
Cruise in which the cruise takes the tourists to have a glimpse of the greatest of the Hong Kong’s landmarks and side
by side the tourists also enjoy the pleasure of a royal buffet dinner.
The Evening Cruise as said by many is the best
option to choose because the beautiful panorama of lights which is found during
the night – time in the Victoria Harbor is simply astounding. The Harbor Night
Cruise takes you around all those spots as mentioned in the sections of
morning, afternoon and evening harbor cruise on a typical Chinese style boat. The
additional site over here is the beautifully neon light entertainment district
of Wan Chai.
