Hong Kong’s skyline is one of the best, stunning at any time of day. Summers bring an extra layer of magic, with incredibly vivid colours painting the skies. Whether for panoramic cityscapes or waterfront views, explore the best spots around town for watching the sun go down.
Victoria Peak
For the most iconic views of the city, head to Victoria Peak. Overlooking Hong Kong’s skyline, the Peak offers breathtaking sights at the summit, as the city lights begin to twinkle and the sun dips below. Take the Peak Tram for a scenic ride up, or hike the Lugard Road Loop for a quieter experience.
Art Park, West Kowloon
For those staying at a Kowloon hotel in Hong Kong, the Art Park is a perfect place for a relaxed evening. Just minutes from Park Hotel Hong Kong, the park’s grassy waterfront offers unmatched sunset views, overlooking the waters of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island. Spread out a picnic mat and watch the evening unfold behind Hong Kong’s skyline, with artists and musicians adding to the lively atmosphere.
Cyberport Waterfront Park
For another peaceful escape by the sea, visit Cyberport Waterfront Park. Found along the western coast of Hong Kong Island, this lesser-known spot offers open green spaces and a stunning sunset view over Telegraph Bay.
Brick Hill Pavilion
For the more adventurous traveller, hike up Brick Hill Pavilion near Ocean Park. The summit rewards you with golden skies over Deep Water Bay, making the climb well worth the effort.
