With its spectacular scenery, unique contrasts and colourful customs, Hong Kong is in many ways a photographer's paradise. It is from the air, however, that one feels the real impact of this extraordinary territory, with its cluster of more than 230 tiny islands sprinkled around an imposing peninsula overlooking the South China Sea.
These million-dollar views are just an added bonus for the hundreds of thousands of travellers who fly in and out of Hong Kong each year. To those not so fortunate, however, the next few pages are dedicated in the hope that they may one day come to see the real thing for themselves.
The first picture (preceding page) shows Hong Kong's thriving commercial and business heart, the Central District of Hong Kong Island. The picture opposite shows a photog- rapher of the Hong Kong Government Information Services in the process of capturing the same view from a helicopter.
