We planned to visit Victoria Harbour, Clock Tower, Hong Kong Space Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art after Causeway Bay. All these attractions were in the Tsim Sha Tsui.
The great design and structure of the shopping mall building
Widely seen this bank (中国建设银行） in Hong Kong
Having heard this hotel, Hong Kong The Peninsula （香港半岛酒店）from the romantic novels and newspapers, finally it's in front of me. I entitled to see it but no power to stay there currently.
This backdrop was very photogenic so Naruto stood still in shooting but with playful facial expression
Museum of Art
Hong Kong Po Leung Kuk (保良局）organized charity sell outside the Museum of Art.
Those were what they sold
These students performed very well
The front counter of Art Museum. Next to the front counter there was a female toilet. It's hardly to find the toilets in Victoria Harbour Promenade, Clock Tower, Star Ferry Pier so both of us used art museum toilets from the afternoon until nights. Further, I was the toilet lovers. It brought the troubles for me.
The incoming music events.
Overall, the art museum looked very empty. I observed the Hong Kongers were art lovers. In the afternoon of our visit, there was a free of charge music performance. Hong Kongers were very enjoyed. Some were allowed the every parts of bodies moving with the music. Meanwhile, some were gave a big clapped and cheer faces after performance. Both of us were not the art lovers and leave there after half an hour.
Hong Kong Space Museum
It's closed down due to renovation and reopened on 2018. So do Avenue of Star. Both of us were so upset due to visit there from far purposely and ended up seeing the shut down notification
It must be they did their marriage registration and took wedding photo in there
Not asked for this service because Naruto was the talented photographer
Clock Tower
Just walk straight the Victoria Harbour promenade, the clock tower was there.
This clock tower was awarded to Hong Kong government by Kowloon Cantoon Railway and MTR Corporations in 2010 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of train services in Hong Kong.
Star Ferry Pier
Star Ferry was one of the reliable transportation in carrying the passengers from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Hong Kong Island and Kowloon had separated by Victoria Harbour. Star Ferry had carried the passengers for hundred years ago and considered as the icon heritage of Hong Kong.
2 decks of the Star Ferry, upper deck and lower deck
Not only that, the ferries to Lamma, Lantau and other islands were available at there but departed from different ports.
I found the ferries run every 10 or 15 minutes. Hence, it's common to see the ferries, boats, vessels and ships crossing the Victoria Harbour frequently.
You had not been to Hong Kong if you had not been to
Victoria Harbour because it’s the top attractions in Hong Kong.
Victoria
Harbour provided different views in day and night. I enjoyed the wonderful view
of Hong Kong skyline and the iconic buildings such as International Commercial
Building, Two International Finance Center, Central Plaza, Bank of China Tower,
HSBC building.
I admired the capabilities of the architects and engineers in
creating such high scrappers building. Without their contribution, I can’t enjoy
such great buildings.
Besides that, I grabbed the opportunity to see the night view of Victoria Harbour when we waited for 15 minutes light of symphony performance on 8pm everyday.
It’s a lighting show whereby few key buildings of Hong Kong presented themselves in green, white, pink lights with the background of symphony music. This performance was accompanied by the narration in Cantonese dialect. However, the performance will be cancelled due to bad weather.
I’m so disappointed with the light of symphony performance. It’s like the ordinary lighting and sound show and totally no wow factor. It’s worse than the lighting performance in Sentosa Island of Singapore.
Honestly, you can miss out light of symphony performance due to limited time as a traveler. In contrast, it’s very relaxed when strolling in the Victoria Harbour promenade in night times. The great harbor view and the breezes made me forget about the worriedness and happiness easily. The lighting of the iconic buildings Hong Kong added a sense of romantic.
The day view
It always featured in TVB drama. In Tsim Sha Tsui, it's easier to notice because a lot people lined up in the front of red, white and blue ice-cream van. It had 4 types ice-cream. I bought Vanilla flavor (only 1 flavor)soft ice-cream, which was the signature of the Mobile Softee. Like the name of the ice-cream, it was very soft and melted very fast. It even dropped on my shirts and skirts.
The only nice photo we took at Victoria Harbour
Below was the magnificent views of Victoria Harbour at different times. The late the night, the view was memorable.
The view on 5pm.
The view on 6pm
The view on 6.30pm
The view on 7pm
It's the boat of Cheong Po Tsai which motivated me to shoot it. I was so crazy of recent TVB drama Cheong Po Tsai.
