Victoria and Kowloon across the harbor Wanchai Modern apartments on Victoria Peak HONG KONG No sailor can fail to be impressed with the sights that greet his eyes as his ship enters Hong Kong's almost land-locked Victoria Harbor. High sterned junks will catch one's eye, their low bows busy with Chinese coolies looking the same as centuries of ancestors before them. The walla-wallas, the water taxi motor boats and the Star ferries are in constant motion in the busy harbor. Hong Kong island, with its capital city, Victoria, is to the left. Victoria Peak towering some 1,805 feet above the bay is the backdrop for the city's gleaming white skyscrapers. Directly across from Victoria is the Kowloon peninsula, the city of Kow- loon, and the main docking terminals for ocean liners. This fantastic harbor covers sixteen square miles, averaging from one to three miles across.
