HONG KONG

 Placed on the southeast coast of China, Hong Kong’s strategic location on the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea has made it one of the world’s most prospering and cosmopolitan cities.


Kowloon and Hong Kong Island


Dominating the Kowloon waterfront stands the 118-storey International Commerce Centre. The land in front of it is designated for the West Kowloon Cultural District. At centre lies Harbour City and Ocean Terminal and beyond, on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.


"A Symphony of Lights" over Hong Kong Harbour.

This spectacular display, already named the 'World's Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show' by Guiness World Records, has now been expanded to include more than 40 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour. It is an all round vision of coloured lights, laser beams and searchlights, synchronised to music and narration, creating a stunning, unforgettable spectacle celebrating the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong.



Neon fantasy on Nathan Road.

This is a composite creation made up of many of the best neon signs on both sides of the harbour. Many of the signs represent some of Hong Kong's best restaurants and night spots. The street is real and is Nathan Road in Kowloon, also known as "the Golden Mile".
