It used to be that I must mount on tripod to do panorama—Not anymore. Hugin, which is open source and thus free, has an uncanny ability to align images. The best part is that it can do so interactively.

 

Pictured from left to right:

 

+ 科學園 Science Park (in the foreground). A campus-like environment designed for established technology enterprises as well as startups as venue to promote interaction and innovation at a local as well as global level. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Science_Park

 

+ 大埔工業村 Tai Po Industrial Estates (in the background). An industrial zone for Hong Kong industrial factories. It also house the headquarters of Asia Television Limited, which broadcasts one of Hong Kong’s primary television channel ATV Home and ATV World. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Po_Industrial_Estate

 

+ 八仙嶺 Pat Sin Leng (the great span of mountains). A mountain range located within the Pat Sin Leng Country Park. The name 八仙嶺 literally means “Ridge of the Eight Immortals”, who are famous xian ("immortals; transcendents; fairies") in Chinese Mythology, and symbolizes the eight peaks along the Pat Sin Leng mountain range, each named after a different Immortal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Sin_Leng

 

+ 吐露港 Tolo Harbour (the great span of water). In the past pearls were very abundant here. Pearl hunting had been a major industry in Tai Po from Han Dynasty. The hunting lasted until the Ming Dynasty, when the pearl oysters were nearly extinct in the area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolo_Harbour

 

+ 聽濤雅苑 Vista Paradiso (the window on the far right). Where SML Universe HKG is located at and where I took this photo. So yeah the view is pretty spectacular here. It is also where most of the photographs from my 寧 Serenity series was taken at.
