I'm not sure which side is actually considered the skyline but I'm just going to write about both: No matter which side, the view is best from the Peak (see Peak review). There you are "behind" both sides and the angle is perfect. The Star Ferry (see Star Ferry review) or any other boat on the bay is also a good point to see either side of the skyline because one is in between them. From the Avenue of the Stars (TST side) one should watch the symphony of lights every night starting at 8pm for about 10-15 minutes. From both Causeway Bay and the piers or IFC Mall at Central one has a nice view of the TST side.

I was in Hong Kong for the last time in February 2020, just before Covid-19 caused travel chaos worldwide and many borders almost everywere were closed. Now that the Hong Kong border is fully opened, i returned and stayed here for 2 nights altogether. The Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade in Kowloon is almost just down the road from the Kowloon Hotel where i stayed for one night. From the Tsim Sha Shui Promenade on Kowloon, the views of the Hong Kong Skyline on Hong Kong island on the other side are always most spectacular, both day and night. Very impressive indeed as far as i am concerned👍👍👍

Use the Peak Tram to get to the top of HK. The trams are air conditioned and going up the steep tram line is a fun time itself. The mid morning to lunch is always busy try to avoid. Weekends are busy as well. The cost is HK$148 to HK$168 that includes a round trip on the tram plus entry to the viewing platform which they call the Sky Terrace 428. Take your time and enjoy the view - late afternoons is fun as well. Go up and have a meal and then see the HK skyline at night. The best viewing days are when there is no cloud or fog around.

Due to land scarcity in the city, the only option is to build up. Thus the high rise buildings for residential and commercial uses came about. During the day, it is nice to walk along the promenade and watch the skyline; much better after sun set when it gets cooler and buildings got lighted.

Beautiful must see city skyline. Best viewed from Peak accessed via funicular train service or bus. M as ke sure you take a topped up Octopus card to avoid ticket queues

A couple of weeks ago we were in Shanghai and were blown away by the beautiful skyline. Hong Kong's skyline, viewed from the harbor promenade on the Kowloon side of the city, is more sprawling and perhaps less cohesive, but with great energy. Hard not to love. If you have the chance, come and enjoy the view both during the day and at 8 PM when the 10-minute Symphony of Lights show takes place. You'll get fantastic pictures at both times.

Hong Kong’s skyline is definitely one of the best in the world. Whether by day or night, it’s truly a stunning sight that never bores. We were able to get a birds eye view from The Peak, aboard the Star Ferry and strolling on the Avenue of Stars during the day and evening. Seeing Hong Kong’s skyline was a breathtaking experience that’s unforgettable.

Hong Kong is a modern and developed city full of skyscrapers. Moreover it is one of the best cities in the world. In my view watching city view from skyline cool especially when you stay or eat in in tower. The unique thing in Honk Kong the people speak English and helpful like Singaporean.
