From "The Peak", a view of the Central District of Hong Kong Island and across the harbour to Kowloon of the mainland. The area just across is called Tsim Sha Tsui.

A great amount of construction has taken place on both sides of the harbour in the last 15 years.
Overlooking Happy Valley horseracing track and beyond to high rise appartments in Causeway Bay from the Blacks Link Hiking Trail. Happy Valley was once a swamp.
