A nighttime view of part Hong Kong viewed from Victoria Peak. Hong Kong has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world (482 as of January 2021; a skyscraper is defined as a continuously-habitable building that has more than 40 floors and is taller than approximately 150 m (492 ft)). By comparison, third-ranking New York City "only" has 290 skyscrapers.

The Man Mo Temple in Tai Po, Hong Kong is 26 km (16 mi) from the harbor. The temple, dedicated to Man (literature) and Mo (military), was built in 1893 in the style of a central walled compound to emphasize seclusion.
