About Hong Kong
The South China Sea waterfront of the territory centres on Victoria Harbour, the deep natural channel separating Hong Kong Island from Kowloon and lit nightly since 2004 by A Symphony of Lights, the Guinness-listed sound-and-light show across both skylines. Repulse Bay curves along the island's south shore with lifeguards and a Tin Hau temple, calm and family-grade; Big Wave Bay on the east coast draws surfers to open swell. Sea temperatures hold between 27 and 29 °C81 and 84 °F from July through September, with Chek Lap Kok 40 minutes by Airport Express.
