Day and night, Victoria Harbor is always busy with ferries, a few barges, boats, even an occasional sampan and more various ships. This Harbor scenery always acts as the icon of the bustling and prosperous metropolis Hong Kong. Hence Hong Kong got the fame of "Pearl of the Orient". Victoria Harbor lies between the Kowloon Peninsula and the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. The harbour's naturally deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea makes it a British colony as well as subsequently a trading center from 19th century to 1997. Throughout its history, the harbour has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, but still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of international vessels each year.It is the world's 3rd largest harbor and the 1st in China.
