【4K VR360】Night ride experience along Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong | 維港單車夜景遊

Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour in Hong Kong separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north. The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony in 1841 and its subsequent development as a trading centre.

Throughout its history, the harbour has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, many of which have caused controversy in recent years. Environmental concerns have been expressed about the effects of these expansions, in terms of water quality and loss of natural habitat. It has also been proposed that benefits of land reclamation may be less than the effects of decreased harbour width, affecting the number of vessels passing through the harbour. Nonetheless Victoria Harbour still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of international vessels each year.

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 promenades are used as gathering places for residents and also tourists.

Victoria Harbour is known for its panoramic night view and skyline, particularly in the direction towards Hong Kong Island where the skyline of skyscrapers is superimposed over the ridges behind. Among the best places to view the harbour are the Peak Tower atop Victoria Peak, or from the piazza at the Cultural Centre or the promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side. Rides on the Star Ferry, including the route between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, are another way to view the harbour and cityscape.

As the natural centre of the territory, the harbour has played host to many major public shows, including the annual fireworks displays on the second night of the Lunar New Year. These shows are popular with tourists and locals alike, and the display is usually telecast on local television. To enhance the popularity of the harbour as a sightseeing location, the government introduced a show dubbed A Symphony of Lights.

Also recently opened was the Avenue of Stars, built along the promenade outside the New World Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. Modeled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it honours the most illustrious people the Hong Kong film industry has produced over the past decades.

By the end of November every year, the outer walls of buildings in the central business districts on both sides of the harbours are dressed with Christmas-related decorations, and replaced with Lunar New Year-related ones by January.

維多利亞港是位於香港的海港，位處香港島與九龍半島之間，兩岸均為香港中心商業區。由於港闊水深，香港亦因此有「東方之珠」的美譽。

維多利亞港古名尖沙咀洋面或中門；被英國人相中有成為東亞地區優良港口的潛力，後來在第一次鴉片戰爭和第二次鴉片戰爭中先後簽訂南京條約和北京條約從清朝中將香港割讓，並以維多利亞港為中心建設香港，做為基地發展其遠東的海上貿易事業。事實上，維多利亞港一直影響香港歷史和文化，亦主導香港經濟和旅遊業發展，是香港成為國際大城市的關鍵之一

維多利亞港是國際上重要的港口之一，據政府紀錄，2006年抵港的遠洋輪船及內河商船分別有39,040和190,820航次，海上運輸相當發達。早期，維多利亞港已被視為重要商港，直至後來海港西部的葵涌及青衣貨櫃碼頭的興建，香港海運才逐漸離開維多利亞港中心地帶，轉而以旅遊和交通為主。現時，維多利亞港仍有不少貨船往來，中流作業及內河商船仍然十分頻繁。香港現時處理的貨物對整個華南地區極為重要，而且大部份貨物大部份地區與華南地區有關。

維多利亞港是天然的深水港，港口水域廣闊，平均水深達12米，海底泥層亦沒有淤泥阻塞，可同時容納上50艘萬噸級的大型遠洋輪船。另外，港口東面的鯉魚門和西面的汲水門較窄，加上受九龍半島和香港島的群山所包圍，形成港口四面環山，強風因而為山勢所阻。港內又設有多個天然及人工的港灣與避風塘，足以讓船隻在平日甚至熱帶氣旋來臨時，免受風浪侵襲。此外，由於香港氣候暖和，港口終年不結冰，船隻可自由進出。基於各項優秀條件，香港因而成為優良轉口港。
