2025 Hong Kong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

It's almost the Winter Solstice! We gathered with a group of food enthusiasts to celebrate early and enjoy a delicious and happy night. Everyone thinks of Chinese food for the Winter Solstice! So we chose Hop Wo Heen at the Hop Wo Hotel for our dinner. I love that Hop Wo Heen has so many private rooms! With a large group of friends, it's quite lively, so we could have our own private room to enjoy dinner in a relaxed atmosphere without disturbing other guests. The restaurant recently launched some autumn and winter dishes, which are very timely! Mr. Che's traditional braised snake soup ($98/person) was quite thick but not overly so. He said the snake meat was chewy and the broth was delicious and warming. The almond milk and white lung stewed with fish maw soup ($168/person) was rich, smooth, and good for the lungs and skin, perfect for autumn and winter. The addition of nourishing fish maw made it even better for those of us who are dry-living. The roasted duck liver and pork rolls ($298)! This incredibly flavorful dish is quite innovative, featuring rich and aromatic pork wrapped around decadent, savory duck liver, paired with a rich barbecue sauce—the taste is undeniably irresistible. Black Truffle Baked Stuffed Crab Shell $188/person! Flower crab meat is baked to perfection with truffle cream sauce, then topped with fragrant black truffle slices for added aroma. The fresh crab meat and sweet onions create a captivating flavor. Hawthorn and Plum Pork Knuckle $168! The texture is bouncy and tender, with a sweet and sour flavor that's layered and delightful. It's served with crisp, homemade pickled shallots—a perfect appetizer and accompaniment to rice. Peppered Prawn and Vermicelli Casserole $298! The fresh, juicy prawns paired with a spicy pepper sauce are outstanding. The vermicelli, soaked in the essence of the prawns and pepper, is even more appealing than the main ingredient. The garnished scallions are also a welcome addition. Wild Mushroom and Wagyu Beef Cheek $298! The mushroom-infused beef cheek was incredibly tender and flavorful, and Dad was very satisfied. The stir-fried bean curd ($168) was a dish that showcased the chef's skill! The bean curd was plump and succulent, and the simple stir-fry brought out its natural sweetness—it was delicious. The truffle-infused shredded chicken ($398/chicken) was savory and tender, with the addition of truffles giving it a unique character. The stir-fried scallop and preserved meat sticky rice ($188/4 people) was simply amazing! The preserved meat was fragrant, and the rice was dry yet chewy—so delicious you couldn't stop eating it. The preserved pork and eel claypot rice ($268/4 people) was incredibly flavorful, with the rich aroma of preserved pork paired with tender eel, adding a touch of warmth to this autumn and winter season. Finally, everyone's looking forward to dessert! Everyone ordered their favorite desserts to enjoy. Puff pastry egg tarts $58 for 3! Freshly baked and piping hot, they're always irresistible. The glossy sesame rolls have a smooth texture and a rich, sweet black sesame flavor. Dad's choice of tangerine peel, lotus seed, red bean paste, and taro balls $68 is also incredibly delicious! The sandy texture is delightful, and the sweetness is perfectly balanced. Combined with chewy taro balls and sweet lotus seeds, it's simply divine. If you enjoy Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend Hop Wo Heen. The place is spacious with plenty of private rooms, perfect for family gatherings or get-togethers with friends.

🟣 Visa/Mastercard/Mir cards issued in Russia do not work in China. Foreign cards from banks in CIS countries not subject to sanctions do. It's convenient if you can get one. 🟣 Russian UnionPay cards from Russian Agricultural Bank and Asia-Pacific Bank work in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. You can withdraw cash from ATMs and pay at terminals that accept UnionPay. While the card works in most cases, it sometimes doesn't work. Small shops often don't have bank card terminals, and only accept QR codes through Alipay or WeChat, or in cash. 🟣 It's convenient to get an Alipay Wallet (in this case, you don't need to link your bank card to Alipay). You can top it up through Sberbank/Tinkoff/VTB using the international transfer feature to China. You can pay with an Alipay QR code anywhere, including in taxis. If you have foreign bank cards, you can link them to Alipay. Any cards issued in Russia cannot be linked to Alipay. Alipay QR code payments are only available in mainland China; this feature is not available for foreigners in Hong Kong and Macau. 🟣 Cash is a must. The ideal combination for mainland China is yuan or yuan plus dollars/euros. When traveling to Hong Kong, it's best to also bring yuan and dollars to exchange for Hong Kong dollars. The best place to exchange in Hong Kong is Chungking Mansions. In Macau, you can use Hong Kong dollars for payments and also exchange yuan/dollars for local patacas. 🟰Bottom line: It's best to bring yuan and dollars, have a Russian Agricultural Bank/Asia-Pacific Bank card, and sign up for Alipay Wallet. ❗️Limits on cash brought into mainland China: 20,000 yuan or $5,000/$5,000 equivalent in another foreign currency.

#TravelChat A land of undeniable charm ✨ Disneyland Hong Kong 🎠 How would you rate it? Personally, I'd give it a 10/10! I love that it's a medium-sized theme park. Just the right size, easy to navigate, and has all the rides. I loved this part so much! There are so many photo opportunities. Lots of cute zones to check in, and new rides too! ✨ 1. World of Frozen — The first and newest zone in the world! The largest Frozen-themed world in a Disney theme park 🌨️ I highly recommend this! I didn't even take pictures while I was there, I was too excited! I highly recommend it! For me, I recommend buying your tickets in advance. #TravelPlan #HongKong

This trip we traveled with Hong Kong Airlines, Economy class, booked through Trip.com. 👜 Carry-on 7 kg 🎒 Checked baggage 23 kg 🍪 Snacks and drinks were provided on board. 💸 Round trip 4,380 THB Accommodation: Stayed at Best Western Plus Tsim Sha Tsui for 3 nights, booked through Trip.com again. ✅ Initially, I was a little worried because many people said the rooms didn't match the pictures, but the room was okay. The bed was comfortable. There was only a water leak in the bathroom. Overall, it was good. They even provided a power adapter. 💸 3 nights 6,083 THB Food costs (all meals): At many restaurants, totaling 💸 ~ 5,000 THB Transportation costs: Mostly using the MTR (subway). The bus only goes to and from the airport. We used an Octopus card for 200 HKD, with 150 HKD loaded onto it, which we returned upon departure. 💸 ~ 1,000 THB Disneyland entrance ticket + Early Pass (entry 1 hour early) This was shared with others during a 2+1 promotion, so the price was divided per person. 💸 Total 2,888 THB Temple offerings and worship items (prices vary at each temple, we visited 3 temples) 💸 ~ 700 THB Miscellaneous shopping, mostly souvenirs 💸 ~ 1,500 THB This wasn't a budget-friendly plan. I think the reason the trip was cost-effective was the cheap airfare, but as expected, everything in Hong Kong is expensive except for the plane tickets. If you're planning your budget, you can check this out first. In the next post, I'll share the daily itinerary. #TravelBudgetSharing #HongKongTravel

I was looking for a place to gather in the city on the weekend, so I recently went to Dahi Ya at Yalan Center in Mong Kok.

Black Truffle Crabmeat Cheese Soft Shell Crab Roll The soft shell crab is fried crispy, the crab meat is fragrant, the black truffle and cheese blend well, one bite is rich in layers, very surprising! Fresh mussels cooked in vanilla butter The mussels are cooked to flavor, the vanilla butter sauce is rich and not greasy, each one is full, and goes great with wine. Sea bird's nest stewed with papaya in coconut juice Sweet coconut juice with Shanghai bird's nest, papaya stewed until it melts in your mouth, nourishing and refreshing, after eating very comfortable, perfect ending. #Causeway BayFood #ExquisiteDahiYa #CausewayBay #AllYouCanEat

December has arrived, a month brimming with festive cheer! Now that I'm older, I can't go out partying all night like I used to, but delicious food still holds a special allure for me. I think the best Christmas feast is definitely a buffet. That night, I went to the Grand Hyatt Sha Tin with a large group of friends. Stepping inside, we were immediately greeted by a riot of Christmas decorations, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We were at Alva House for a delightful red heart-shaped Christmas buffet dinner! Let's soak up the Christmas spirit early! Right at the restaurant entrance was the dessert display case! Inside were coconut water chestnut cake, mango Napoleon, Lotus espresso cups, 70% Valrhona chocolate mousse, Tiramisu, Basque cheesecake, pear and osmanthus cake, and apple and hawthorn cake. Around the corner, inside the dessert display case, were my favorite durian desserts! The selection includes durian serradura mochi cake, durian heart cake, durian pandan cake, Uji matcha double cheesecake, and caramel milk chocolate mousse cake. Of course, you can't miss their homemade Italian ice cream! This includes peach apple sorbet, mango passion fruit sorbet, durian ice cream, and a limited-time Uji matcha ice cream with white tokachi red beans. With Christmas approaching, there are plenty of Christmas desserts, such as Christmas fruit buns. Then there's passion fruit Earl Grey tea beer cake, strawberry almond tart, strawberries, Italian cheese lemon cream, and Portuguese egg tarts. Fresh fruit options include sliced ​​cantaloupe, whole apples, pears, grapes, and mandarins. Häagen-Dazs ice cream has eight flavors! With so many choices, any ice cream enthusiast should definitely come and indulge. For drinks, besides self-service hot and cold tea, there's a juicer for self-service! I was so happy to find my favorite pineapple juice. Canned beer is also available for unlimited consumption, and for an extra fee, you can enjoy unlimited red and white wines, sparkling wines, and sake. The appetizer section starts with Caesar salad, along with a large selection of fresh salad dressings and sauces. I especially love the ready-made salads! The selection includes green apple, quinoa, and persimmon salad; beetroot salad; potato salad; chestnut and pumpkin salad with duck breast; Japanese okra salad; and my absolute favorite, lobster, avocado, and mixed fruit salad. The frozen meat section is filled with a variety of exquisite and delicious frozen meats and cheeses, which make for a more satisfying experience when paired with the salads. The chilled seafood section is also quite impressive! It includes jade snails, prawns, mussels, Garfield crabs, brown crabs, snow crab legs, and lobster. There are also freshly shucked oysters, which you can take two at a time. The Japanese sashimi selection includes Argentine red shrimp, octopus, sea bream, tuna, salmon, and scallops, along with a variety of fresh sushi and rolls. The Japanese cuisine also features a variety of tempura, robatayaki, and okonomiyaki. The teppanyaki grill will rotate between pan-fried dried duck and Wagyu beef. Following this are tender grilled beef, Christmas turkey, Italian herb pork belly rolls, and slow-cooked short ribs. Asian cuisine includes Indian flatbread, crispy crackers, chicken cutlets, and lemongrass tuna. The Western-style bread rolls are fragrant and offer a wide selection. The Western soup is carrot cream soup, while the Chinese option is winter melon soup. The noodle stall is serving a nourishing chicken soup with matsutake mushrooms and tea tree mushrooms. The large steamer contains steamed oysters with chili and garlic and steamed grouper. Continuing on, we saw dishes like garlic cucumber, Peking duck, braised platter, Hainanese chicken, and braised duck feet with fish maw and oyster sauce. Next came baked whole salmon fillets, Teochew-style crab balls, roasted lamb rack, and chili garlic spaghetti. Finally, the first dish was a refreshing and appetizing appetizer! The lobster, avocado, and mixed fruit salad was so delicious it became the MVP. Then came the fresh sashimi! My top recommendation was the Argentine red shrimp—sweet, tender, and incredibly delicious. The freshly shucked oysters were so fresh, you should definitely try a couple more! The chilled seafood was of excellent quality! The crab legs were bursting with the freshness of the sea, the lobster meat was springy and sweet, especially the lobster claws—super delicious! The mussels were tender and flavorful, and the shrimp was also refreshing and delightful. The pan-fried duck liver, bursting with rich, oily flavor, was an indulgent choice. This Chinese platter was also very appealing! The duck feet, fish maw, and shiitake mushrooms were incredibly flavorful, and the braised pork belly in the assorted braised dishes, while tempting, was also surprisingly delicious. If you're a fan of Peking duck, don't miss this! All-you-can-eat is pure bliss. For those who love savory flavors, don't miss the tempura! My personal favorite is the okra tempura; the batter isn't too thick, and the texture is excellent. The robatayaki selection is plentiful! Corn, prawns, salmon, chicken wings, abalone, sweet potatoes, and okra are all available. My favorite is the sweet potato with its sweet and savory drizzle. For Christmas, turkey is a must—it's not too dry and quite tasty. However, I prefer the Italian herb-stuffed pork belly roll with skin and meat on—it's satisfying and incredibly meaty. Finally, one last encore of my favorite dishes! My savory stomach is perfectly satisfied; it's time for dessert. Just then, the bell rang! The limited-time Uji matcha ice cream with Shiratama Tokachi red bean paste is about to make its debut! The matcha ice cream has a smooth and sweet flavor that's incredibly delicious! Paired with chewy and soft Shiratama dumplings and sweet red bean paste, it's simply delightful. My sweet tooth was especially happy that day because of the durian ice cream and desserts! I specially got a durian platter to share with my friends, and the aroma of durian filled the air – every item was so delicious and satisfying! The charming red heart Christmas buffet dinner is available from now until January 1, 2026, starting at $788 per adult and $468 per child. Reservations and deposits made in December will enjoy discounts of up to 30% off (excluding December 24-26 and 31; limited availability, first come, first served).

I went with a friend for 2 nights and 3 days in May 2025. 🇭🇰 This is the cost per person ⬇️ Airfare: Cathay Pacific round-trip, ¥40,000 (Booked through Rakuten) Hotel: Disney's Hollywood Hotel, 2 nights, ¥20,000 (Booked through NEWT) eSIM for 3 days, ¥577 (Booked through Klook) Disney tickets: ¥16,473 (2-day) (Booked through Klook) Early Entry Pass: ¥3,444 (Booked through Klook) Meal voucher (Booked through Klook) Day 1 ¥3,216 (Lunch + Ice Cream) Day 2: ¥5,127 (Lunch + Dinner + Ice Cream) Taxi fare from airport to hotel: ¥3,000 I also bought an annual pass, but I can't remember how much it cost 😇 Total: ¥91,837 Otherwise, souvenirs cost about ¥10,000 💰 Total: ¥100,000 ✈️ For my first overseas Disney trip, I chose Cathay Pacific over low-cost carriers ✈️! We had in-flight meals, we could watch videos on the plane, and we arrived in no time! 😌🇭🇰 It was incredibly hot and humid in May, so a parasol and sunscreen were a must... 🥵☀️ I bought an annual pass, so next time I'd like to go during cooler months 😂 I only ate in-park meals, but the portions were so generous I was completely full! 😇 I'd heard prices were high, so I brought some mizuocha (tea and instant noodles) just in case, but I'm glad I brought a drink too. 🥤 I didn't eat the instant noodles 😂 I used Uber for the taxi from the airport to the hotel! I had planned to take Uber back to the hotel, but I spotted a taxi with a credit card sticker, so I asked the hotel staff and they said they accepted credit cards, so I took that instead. 🚖 Taxis in Hong Kong generally only accept cash, but some taxis apparently accept credit cards. 🚕 So this time, I only paid by credit card. 💰 I didn't exchange any money. 👍 You can get by with just your broken English, so I recommend it even for those who aren't used to traveling abroad. 🙌 I don't think there was a deposit at the Disney's Hollywood Hotel where I stayed. 🙃 #HongKong #HongKongDisney #HongKongDisneylandHotel #HongKongDisneyInformation #DisneyHollywoodHotel

♦️Heartfelt Advice 1. There are four security check lanes at the entrance. It is recommended to choose the two middle lanes, especially the right lane, which is faster. However, do not bring these items in your backpack: reflectors, tripods, sunshades, small stools, self-heating pots, alcoholic beverages, pungent foods, sunscreen sprays, and pressure cans. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 2. The park usually opens at 10:00 AM, but here’s a tip: enter at 11:00 AM. At this time, there is no need to queue at security or ticket gates, making entry super smooth! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 3. For friends coming from out of town, if time allows, it is recommended to spend two days! On the first day, plan for half a day to take photos, watch fireworks, and enjoy 1-3 popular attractions; on the second day, focus on rides and shows. If budget is limited, consider staying at hotels near Tsing Yi Station or Tsuen Wan Station, which are affordable and conveniently located! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 4. If you are among the first batch entering the park, don’t hesitate to go straight to Frozen Ever After and then to Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars. If you enter more than ten minutes after ticket scanning, head directly to Tomorrowland and save Frozen Ever After for the parade or light show time! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 5. Popular attractions have single rider lines. If you are alone or don’t mind splitting up with friends, use the single rider line to save time (Toy Soldier Parachute Drop, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain). ♦️Heartfelt Advice 6. Frozen area: Most kids rush here right at opening. Take the boat tour to Arendelle and the Frozen world with stunning scenery. There is a shortcut that takes about 7 minutes: Main Street, U.S.A. → through the castle → around the left side of the castle → past the carousel on the right → straight ahead to reach. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 7. Recommended photo spots: Dream Garden behind the castle (less crowded, vibrant colors, and you can still capture the castle), Main Street, U.S.A. shop windows (each window is great for photos!!), Frozen Plaza fountain (beautiful but crowded), and the carousel at night (use flash for photos). ♦️Heartfelt Advice 8. Highly recommended attractions: (Most popular) Frozen World - Frozen Ever After (Most thrilling) Tomorrowland - Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (Front row seats) Tomorrowland - Iron Man Experience (Stunning) Grizzly Gulch - Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars (Sunset photos) Fantasyland - Dumbo the Flying Elephant ♦️Heartfelt Advice 9. If an attraction breaks down during your visit, be sure to ask staff for a FastPass. You can use it to ride later or for another attraction. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 10. Fireworks show times vary daily, so check in real-time. Recommended viewing spots: near the trash bin facing the castle in the plaza, and around the restaurants on both sides behind the castle for the best atmosphere.

Winter is the perfect season to savor rich and flavorful dishes! Recently, I had the pleasure of enjoying a limited-time authentic Shanghainese meal with friends, and it was not only authentic but also incredibly delightful. We visited the familiar Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui's The Chinese Restaurant to taste the Shanghai flavors brought by Chef Liu Zhifang, the Executive Sous Chef from Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park. As a fan of Shanghainese cuisine, I was filled with anticipation. First up were the Jellyfish Head from Zhoushan ($148) and Razor Clams in Spicy Sauce ($188)! The restaurant thoughtfully served these dishes individually, and the presentation was exquisite. Razor Clams in Spicy Sauce! The chilled and refreshing sauce was packed with a spicy and aromatic flavor, and the chewy razor clams were incredibly addictive. Jellyfish Head from Zhoushan! Made with fresh jellyfish heads from Zhoushan, the dish was delightfully crunchy, paired with tangy and appetizing Italian balsamic jelly, making it a perfect starter. Salted Pork and Bamboo Shoot Soup ($198/person)! The creamy and rich soup was incredibly sweet and flavorful, featuring my favorite bamboo shoots and tofu knots that absorbed all the deliciousness. The savory and umami taste of the soup was simply irresistible. Braised King Prawns ($168/person)! The impressive presentation of the large prawns was eye-catching. The sweet and savory braised sauce was perfectly balanced, and the tender, bouncy prawns coated in the flavorful sauce were absolutely divine. Grandma's Braised Pork Belly ($328)! The pork belly, with its perfect balance of fat and lean meat, was braised to perfection. The fat melted in the mouth while the lean meat was tender and flavorful. It was so delicious that it was hard to resist pairing it with rice. Crispy Spring Rolls ($88/3 pieces)! The filling included shredded pork, bamboo shoots, and cabbage, making it very hearty. Each bite was crispy yet not greasy, with a rich and satisfying flavor. Pan-Fried Dumplings ($98/3 pieces)! Shaped like crescent moons, the dumplings had a golden crispy bottom. The dough was soft yet crispy, and the filling was aromatic and delicious. Mango Sago Pomelo Dessert ($58)! I loved the version here, as it wasn't overly creamy and had a strong fruity aroma. It was filled with plenty of mango and pomelo pulp, and the sweetness was just right, making it very enjoyable. The à la carte menu by the guest chef from Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park is available from now until December 31.

The shop is run by a former hotel dim sum director. The owner, who used to work in hotel Chinese cuisine, has his own insistence on ingredients and quality ✊.

📌 Climb Victoria Peak (the highest point in Hong Kong) and enjoy the views of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Take the Morning Trail route to the Peak Galleria shopping mall. Another option is to take the Peak Tram and see the famous views from a slightly different angle. Try to arrive at the Peak by sunset to witness the sky changing colors and the skyscrapers lighting up with millions of lights. 📌 Try the Local Cuisine In Hong Kong, you can easily find food to suit any taste. But visiting Hong Kong without trying the local delicacies is a real crime. For delicious dim sum, head to Luk Yu Teahouse. To taste the famous BBQ pork with rice and pineapple buns, I recommend Kam Wah Cafe and Sun Kwai Heung. 📌 See the Big Buddha Don't forget to visit the nearby Po Lin Monastery. To make your trip to the Buddha truly unforgettable, take a ride on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car (the longest in Asia), during which you won't be able to take your eyes off the emerald-green islands and the sparkling waters of the South China Sea. 📌 Enjoy the Hong Kong Panorama From the Avenue of Stars, you can enjoy one of the best views of Hong Kong. For the full experience, come here at 8:00 PM to watch the famous "Symphony of Lights" laser show, which is listed in the Guinness World Records. 📌 Have Fun at Theme Parks For 40 years, Hong Kong's Ocean Park has been entertaining visitors with thrilling rides and the chance to see animals from all over the world. And, of course, head to Disneyland for a magical date with Mickey. 📌 A Few More Interesting Recommendations from Me: I love the Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai districts. They are always vibrant, with plenty of establishments and shops to suit any taste. The Ozone Bar at The Ritz-Carlton hotel. This is the highest bar in the world, located on the 118th floor. The panoramic view will leave you speechless. Fans of lively nightlife will love the Lan Kwai Fong district. It's Hong Kong's main entertainment street, full of bars, music, dancing, and people enjoying life.

If you're in Hong Kong, I definitely recommend visiting Victoria Peak. From the top, you'll enjoy an incredible view of all of Hong Kong. Try to arrive at the Peak at sunset to see the sky change color and the skyscrapers light up with millions of lights. 🌇 🕐Opening Hours: 7:30 AM - 11:00 PM 🚕There are several ways to climb Victoria Peak from Hong Kong Island. 📌The most affordable option is bus number 15, which takes 30-40 minutes to the summit. The stop is at Exchange Square, which is located near Hong Kong MTR (Exit A2) and Central (Exit F) stations. 📌You can also take the Morning Trail to the Peak Galleria shopping mall. 📌Another option is to take the Peak Tram funicular and see the famous views from a slightly different perspective. When ascending, try to get a seat on the right side and on the left when descending, so you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Victoria Harbor. The entire journey takes 10 minutes, and a roundtrip ticket, including entrance to the observation deck, costs HK$270 (approximately 2,800 rubles). Carriages depart every 15 minutes.

The Hong Kong Cultural Museum focuses on showing local cultural and artistic characteristics. The space is spacious and the atmosphere is modern and humanistic. It is a good place to take a photo and enjoy Hong Kong's diverse culture. Both indoor exhibitions and outdoor landscapes are full of architectural beauty. A closer look shows many local comic book masters such as Lao Fu Zi, Cowboy, Yu Lang and other related exhibition areas, which is amazing. Hong Kong comic culture is so exciting. Recommended Route: It is recommended to start from the entrance and stroll through the lobby of the main hall to feel the characteristic architecture combined with natural light. Then there are classic characters from Yuro manga. Finally, visit the back garden of the museum. The outdoor space is surrounded by green trees, suitable for sitting and resting or taking pictures, and feel the leisurely side of Sha Tin. Must-play items/photo spots: - Comic exhibition area: large statue of Old Man, comic wall, every scene is suitable for photography. - Featured Exhibition Hall: Regularly different local art, history thematic exhibitions, the content is often updated. - Museum backyard: outdoor with tree shadows and modern architecture, extremely Hong Kong local aesthetic.

The lights and music make the whole atmosphere feel like a fairy tale world has come. Beautiful and healing to take pictures, with the night view of the Victoria Harbor as a background, super fantastic!
