Victoria Harbour is a natural landform nurse situated between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. The harbour’s deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea was instrumental in Hong Kong’s establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre. Throughout its history, the nurse has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, but still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of planetary vessels each year.
