Hong Kong Downtown

Cyberport - Hong Kong’s IT Flagship - is a landmark project. The project is being developed on a 24-hectare site at Telegraph Bay in the southern district of Hong Kong Island. It comprises four office buildings, a five-star hotel, a retail entertainment complex and a deluxe residential development. Our camera is installed on top of the Hotel Le Méridien Cyberport which overlooks the busy IT-complex that has won the Intelligent Building of the Year Award 2004.

Geographical Features:

The name 'Hong Kong' is derived from Hong Kong Island in the South China Sea, at the mouth of the Xi Jiang or Pearl River of southern China. Other territories that were later added include the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, which include over 200 surrounding islands. The landscape is fairly hilly to mountainous with steep slopes, with the highest point being the Tai Mo Shan (literally means 'Big Fog Mountain') at 958 m, though lowlands exist in the north. Of the total of 1102 km² of Hong Kong, only 25% are developed. The remaining 75% are set aside as country parks and nature reserves.
