Image:Victoria_harbour_from_np.jpg|thumb|Victoria Harbour The Hong Kong government has undertaken many Land reclamation|reclamation projects in Victoria Harbour over the past several decades. The latest proposed reclamation extends along the waterfront from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay. After completion of the Central and Wan Chai Reclamation Feasibility Study in 1989, the Land Development Policy Committee endorsed a concept for gradual implementation of the reclamation. The reclamation consists of three district development cells separated by parks, namely, Central, Prince of Wales building|Tamar and Exhibition. There is no bridge crossing the harbour, but 3 cross-harbour tunnels: Cross Harbour Tunnel (opened 1972), Eastern Harbour Crossing (1989), and Western Harbour Crossing (1997). They connect Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula across Victoria Harbour. The three tunnels act as important linkages between the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Three MTR routes also have tunnels under the Harbour. They are namely:
The Star Ferry crosses the harbour since the late 1800s. The operated ferry routes today are: Central and Western district|Central to Tsim Sha Tsui; Wanchai to Tsim Sha Tsui; Central to Hung Hom and Wan Chai to Hung Hom. Some other regular ferry services also operate in the harbour. The Victoria Harbour is famous around the world for its stunning Panorama|panoramic night view. The best place to view the Harbour is at the Victoria Tower on the Victoria Peak. It is also famous for the harmonious skyline of the ridge of the Hong Kong Island, and the skyscrapers. It can be seen from the piazza at Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, or on a Star Ferry. Fireworks are staged several times a year, and laserworks shows are staged every evening at 8 o'clock.
