The Hong Kong Harbor (now Victoria Harbor) in China is located
somewhere between the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. This
harbor, because of its location on the south, favored the Britisher’s to
make it one of the most famous and the biggest center for trade. The
shore over the years has undergone enormous change. It is a very common tourist’s attraction because of its beautiful
scenic view of Hong Kong and its harbor. This harbor display spectacular
fireworks during the 2nd night of the lunar year and thus is very
common point for the tourists and the localities. It is also used to
form recreation like swimming and polo. The harbor was initially called
the Hong Kong Harbor and its modern name is the Victoria Harbor. This
name change was done to ensure and pacify the fleet that belonged to
Queen Victoria. As the manufacture sector increased day by day, club
races were stopped because of access of pollution.

Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong
Riding a Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island is a signature Hong Kong experience.
The low-slung, double-decker, green and cream ferries are a Hong Kong emblem, dating back to 1888. Until the cross-harbor road tunnel and underground train link were built, the only way to cross between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island was by ferry.
