Overview of city from Victoria's Peak, the most famous view of downtown Hong Kong (Central) with Kowloon just across the water.


View of Central from the Kowloon side. The building along the water above these words is the Convention Center at Wanchai and the view is from the 20th floor business lounge at the Shangri-La Hotel.


This is my favorite view taken from the road to Victoria's Peak overlooking the Aberdeen area with its fishing village. This also provides a good view of the topography surrounding the city.


Another view from the Peak focusing on the tall buildings so close together.


Here's an example of these buildings from ground level.


Looking Upward. Manhattan prices and up.


Here are condos along the shoreline. Very expensive.


Interspersed among the luxury and almost hidden behind other buildings are where the not so wealthy live. Sometimes these buildings are not hidden at all and are viewed right from escalators passing through Central areas.
