View from the Peak towards Kowloon in 1996

Wed, 11/22/2023 - 21:04

This photo was taken from the Peak. I have already uploaded a photo taken of the land reclamation area just to the left of the scene in this photo.  The early phase of the International Finance Centre can be seen on the bottom-left.  It was very hazy that day. One thing to note about the buildings is that the really tall ones were all on Hong Kong Island.  If I remember correctly Kowloon had height limits for buildings so as to keep the airspace clear for access to Kai Tak Airport.

Date picture taken
10 Oct 1996 (day is approximate)
