Victoria Harbour

Night view of Victoria Harbour

Hong Kong

Hong Kong

I received some really cool postcards from Hong Kong a few weeks ago.

This first one is of West Central at Sunset: The protrubing roof of the spectacular Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre forms the foreground to a dramatic sunset over the Central business district, which is dominated by the 88 story Two International Finance Centre building. It is 418 mtrs (1362 ft) high ans was completed in 2003. It is one of the few buildings in the world equipped with double-deck elevators.

This next card is of people sitting on a bench and a street view.

This next one is of Disney's Hollywood Hotel in Hong Kong. It's an art deco inspired hotel, reflecting the best of Hollywood with Disney touches throughout.

Hong Kong

I received a postcard through facebook from a direct swap the other day from Hong Kong. This was my first postcard of Hong Kong, but it depicts it pretty much how I imagined it. It looks like a very busy city, kind of like New York. This postcard depicts Victoria Harbour. Victoria Harbour from Luagrd Road, the narrow road circling the Peak, offering a different but equally magnificent view every few yards. Pictures from here need updating twice a year because land reclamation and the pace of building make the scene change so rapidly. This is rightly considered to be one of the most exciting night views in the world.
