I am from Australia but live in HK. After a lot of negativity in the last few years, it was so refreshing to see you portray beautiful HK in such a positive light. I got to 'roll back' to before the crazy years and look at HK again with fresh and wondrous eyes. Thank you.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to us. We’ve always loved Hong Kong and even though things are not the same, we still feel it’s a beautiful city worth visiting with lots of history and culture that are deeply rooted in the people (and food!).

[@stephanieliuchi]

Agree. They bring me to go back and re-knowledge how beautiful here

[@yl1101]

Our Beloved HK shall rise again. Best wishes.

It’s a beautiful and vibrant city for sure 🤗

[@annesliu4514]

Thanks for sharing this! I am a HongKonger and have been living in Toronto for two decades , went back to Hong Kong for visit only few times. I will definitely try this out when I am in HK next time. Thanks again Flora and Note! Enjoy your trip!

[@dominichill1492]

Hong Kong does have one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. The junk boat is so beautiful, and the fancy dim sums are looking delicious To be honest Hong Kong skyline is much more beautiful than New York skyline in my opinion. The HK Observation Wheel is so cool. Thank you Flora and Note for bringing us subscribers another great video in HK. I'm really enjoying this series.

[@FloraandNote]

We’ve missed this view so much! Glad we can share it with you Dominic 🤗

[@hyzeinkem7536]

I had the privilege of living and working in HK for 6 years in the early 2000s. This video brings back fond memories although so much of the harbour has been reclaimed. Queen's Pier in those days used to be right behind the Post Office and City Hall buildings and just about where the ferries wheel is right now. They were already demolishing the pier just before i left HK. The city is still as beautiful as ever, and will forever be my second home.

[@FloraandNote]

We agree, still very beautiful 🤗

[@mendo35]

I was in Hong Kong back in 2018, this video reminds me that I so want to go back.

Thanks so much 🥰 It feels good being a tourist in my hometown..I used to take this view for granted when I lived there.

[@royprice6742]

@@FloraandNote I have a Sports Travel Business here in the UK and I have been escorting my customers every year for many years (Covid years aside) to the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens. I can remember the moment when I actually fell in love with Hong Kong. It was my first visit in 2004 - on a clear warm evening as I was sitting on the Avenue Of Stars Kowloon, overlooking Hong Kong Island. I thought to myself how lucky I was to see this view and I just didn't want that moment to end.

[@lilly1803]

Great video! Great narration! We truly enjoyed this little trip with you. I hope we'll get a chance to visit HK again and get on that cruise this time. 😊

[@SingleAndAlmostBrokeinSurrey]

I initially planned on visiting HK, instead of just a mere layover, in January 2023 but when I was not able to reach my former employer, who I am not sure if he's still alive or not, I scrapped my plan. Watching your HK videos seems like HK is waving at me, calling me. It's been 20 years since I left HK for Canada but lately, HK has been on my radar. I have until the day of my flight, whether or not to visit and linger for maybe a week in HK prior to flying to my destination, Manila. I'll see... Thank you for sharing your video.

[@peterwilliams7335]

Wow. I need to go on to this cruise next time in HK. Thanks for sharing…What a spectacular view of HK harbor!

[@kitty3980]

Nice to see you again 😊 Flora and Note. 🙋‍♀️

[@doubleeagle9722]

Flora bring Note to the Ngong Ping. Go to the Buddha Hill. (The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a tourist attraction). At Ngong Ping you can take the Cable Car with Glass Bottom and enjoy the scenic view of the Hong Kong Airport and Lantau Island. Enjoy!

Hi Note & Flora. I had been to party at ICC building before at Ozone Bar, I think on 118Fl (If i not wrong about it ) . Also visit Sky lines 100 there. Actually we ever lives there at one of the building beside ICC call LUNA Sky. Note mention about glass floor for Ferris wheel I think one place he can see the view scene from glass floor will be cable car that go up to Big Bhuda, the one close by City gate . Thanks, for video that take me to explore and update HK about new stuff and also I hope we can visit next year when all restrictions life. Have fun guy.

Not been to HK for many years. We always stayed at The New World Harbour View hotel, which used to be on the Harbour front. When we were last there, 1998 I think, totally amazed that the Convention center had been in front of the hotel on reclaimed land!!! The hotel no longer had a harbour view unless you were staying above floor 12!! I believe it has changed the name now 😄😄

[@FloraandNote]

Yeah quite a lot has changed on both sides of the harbour now.. more developed but still beautiful with lots of walking paths and green space.

Awesome video guys! I was in HK eight years ago when they had the peaceful protests, and sadly Central area was blocked so I didn't get to go to the peak. It is a beautiful view from there!

Great video as usual! I'm just watching it now for some odd reason I missed this one.

Glad you enjoyed this one, Jody! Yes, they still have the light show every night. There's even a night cruise that allowsyou to enjoy the light show from the harbour :)
