Victoria Harbour, Harbor in Hong Kong
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north.
The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre.
The harbour is a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong. Lying in the middle of the territory's dense urban region, the harbour is the site of annual fireworks displays and its promenade offers stunning views of the city's skyline.
Victoria Harbour is home to most of the port facilities of Hong Kong, making it a vital part of the city's economy.
