This is the age of hyperbole and new viral videos every hour, so it’s easy, if not necessary, to remain sceptical of every new article that claims that something is the funniest, most gorgeous, most jaw-dropping thing of all time. But we promise, this video is worth a watch, and not simply because it’s about the city you love. This video stands on its own as a spellbinding display of masterful cinematography.
It’s not about the fast-paced life of Hong Kong, it’s not about the millions of people crossing the roads – and it’s not about the skyline. It’s about the timeless beauty of sunsets and sunrises, the endless spin of the earth, and the star-filled skies that, yes, do exist above Hong Kong.
Our favourite part is watching streaks of azure, peach, and pink flicker across the horizon as the sun sinks below a duvet of clouds.
