This is a popular cruise for those who love the vibrancy and
the ambitious town planning of Hong Kong. High-rises show-casing
Hong Kongs architectural phenomenon, include Bank of China,
Exchange Square, Hong Kong & Shanghai Corporation,
International Finance Centre and Central Plaza along the
waterfront.
There are other new and remarkable "infrastructural"
landmarks, like Kowloon Wharf and its developments, Kowloon
Expressway, Yaumati Typhoon Shelter and the nearby Stone-cutters
Island which for many decades served as a British Royal Navy base
until June 1997; but having been re-built, is now a Chinese PLA
Navy base.
Further on, you will see the spectacular Tsing Ma Bridge linking
the new Hong Kong Airport, and it is presently the longest
suspension bridge capable of carrying both vehicles and trains in
the World.
More interesting scenery along this Western shoreline of Hong
Kong are the skyscrapers built on the hillside, traditional
shipyards, the high-skill Tuen Mun Highway, and the Worlds largest
Container Terminal, all vividly contrasting, but in great harmony. |
