Three Special Viewpoints of the Victoria Harbour

Enjoy Hong Kong Victoria Harbour view at special viewpoints

The famous Victoria Harbour has a 76km long coastline.  

You can take good photos to make your own postcards, which are different from the common postcards from the souvenir shops, at the three special viewpoints.

(1)Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park

The park is at Shenug Wan.  

Just behind the statue of Dr Sun Yat Sen, the Father of Republican China, there is a promenade, where you can see the tallest building, ICC, the construction site for the West Kowloon Cultural District, container terminal and Stonecutter Island Bridge.

(2)Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Rooftop Garden

The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is at the end of the old Kai Tak Airport runway.  

You may go to the rooftop garden of the new terminal to see the Victoria Harbour view from a completely new angle.  You can see the eastern entrance of the harbour, Lei Yue Mun Fishing Village.  

The rooftop garden is also a very good viewpoint for the fireworks displays during Chinese New Year and the National Day on 1 October.

(3)Quarry Bay Waterfront Park

Quarry Bay Waterfront Park is at the eastern part of the Hong Kong Island.  

You can see how big the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is from there.  

You can also see the Lion Rock, Kowloon Peak, Kowloon East commercial area and lots of government subsidized housing blocks.

Fire boat Alexander Grantham

Fire boat on the land, Alexander Grantham

On the Eastern part of Hong Kong Island, you can find a ship on the land also.  That is the Fire boat Alexander Grantham.

Alexander Grantham, made in Hong Kong fire boat

In 1953, Whampoa Dock (today’s Whampoa Garden) built a new fire boat.  

The boat was named after the Hong Kong Governor, Alexander Grantham, who ordered to develop public housing for the poor.

The ‘Made in Hong Kong’ fire boat was the flagship of the fireboat team.  It led the team to put out the disastrous fire on a luxurious cruise, RMS Queen Elizabeth, in 1972.  

It had served Hong Kong citizens until 2002.

Old Fire boat as new museum 

Later the boat was restored as a museum, which showcases the fire fighting history of Hong Kong.

Visitors can also enjoy a beautiful Victoria Harbour view during the visit of the old fire boat.

During the included local ferry ride in the easy and enjoyable full day city tour, YOU can see the old fire boat.
