Strategic Viewing Points

To safeguard the valuable and unique city skyline of Hong Kong, particularly views to the ridgelines and Victoria Harbour, eight strategic viewing points (SVPs) have been identified for visual impact assessments (VIA) in planning studies and applications. For providing public information and with a view to facilitating VIA preparation by interested parties, the Planning Department has uploaded the panorama photos of the SVPs onto the departmental website (with an external link in Common Spatial Data Infrastructure Portal). These photos will be updated annually for public reference.
