Picture: Sunset and sunset in Victoria Harbour\ Figures provided by the author

The best conditions for watching the sunset are mountains, seas, undulations, water banks, tranquility, beauty, flexibility, prospect and depth of field. There is only one sun, but there are countless ways to set the sun; There is only one sunset, but in different places, it has become a firework in the day, silently sinking into the small life; Or it becomes a stunning picture with bright light, which can only shock the soul in a moment.

Hong Kong, a city with mountains and seas, has too many opportunities to enjoy the setting sun.

From the large area, there are good places to enjoy the setting sun in the west central and southwest seashore of Lantau Island in the New Territories, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island. Sometimes it is very convenient to watch, and you can stop and look back at it occasionally. However, when looking at the sunset, you should have a sense of ritual, for example, a sincere attitude.

Wait a little while to see the sunset. In Hong Kong Island, Victoria Harbour, West Ring Wharf or Kennedy Town at the western end, you can walk to the seaside in the evening and stay there quietly. After one after another, the sun gradually entered the mist and turned into the mountains of Lantau Island, which became a beautiful sunset. If there happens to be a cloud, it will become rosy clouds; Another cruise ship, the waves on the sea are stacked in layers - the setting sun is like Yan, the sunset is like color, and the waves are like gold. This sunset event is complete and perfect.

The process of sunset is very fast, just a few minutes. But after the sunset, before sinking into the sea, there is often an additional "encore", with lingering sound - you may as well wait. At this time, although you can't see the sunset, there are purple clouds. Today is a flying fish, and tomorrow is a phoenix, which is beyond imagination. The glass curtain wall of the high-rise building in Tsim Sha Tsui on the other side reflects an orange pink light, which lasts for a long time. If you shoot in panoramic mode, from west to east - sunset, Lantau mountains, Stonecutters Island Harbour and Ting Kau Bridge, buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui and distant mountains - a vast sky, a vast sea, sunset afterglow, magnificent mountains and rivers.

To see the sunset, we should design it slightly. My friend Liu Taizeng drove me and my mother to the top of Taiping Mountain to watch the sunset. Mrs. Liu is a lady of noble family, gentle and elegant, but she drives very fast and crisply. When I arrived at the mountain seven times and eight times, I really "chased" the setting sun. I finally witnessed the last moment of the sun setting into the sea. It was worthwhile to go there.

My intimate friend Connie once invited me and my mother to the 101 floor building in Tsim Sha Tsui and watch the sunset on the "Loushan" which is 399 meters away. From here, we can overlook the waters from Hong Kong Island to Lantau Island, including the Laba Mouth, Kwai Chung Wharf and the western mountains. This panorama is from bottom to top: the sea is green, ships, bridges, typhoon shelters, dams and buildings on the bank look like toy blocks, the sky is pale and purple, and the setting sun is flickering. At different times, the color of the sky changes constantly, like a dynamic oil painting, which seems that Monet is hiding behind and painting constantly. We didn't care to eat, and kept taking pictures. The sunset that day was really a feast of color, which was magnificent in beauty. So far, I still sigh.

Although these sunset scenes are located in the city, their landscape quality is not inferior. It is appropriate to call Hong Kong "beautiful Hong Kong". As a result, jogging to the seaside every evening to watch the sunset is a "reserved track" for many people and a common memory of Hong Kong drifters.

Traveling to the mountain and watching the sunset is another feeling. After traveling across mountains and rivers to see the mountains and the sea, when you are exhausted, you can watch the sunset again. This trip will be complete and all the tiredness will be cured.

The Mei Wo and Tai O on Lantau Island, with the sunset in the fishing village and the late singing of fishing boats, are like the depths of the Peach Garden. Sitting on the beach, watching the sunset burning quietly, the tide receding quietly at night, and the cattle grazing quietly. Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge follows the setting sun from afar, as if to explore the return of the setting sun. The dynamic picture has a sense of static.

Take a ferry from Central to Pingzhou and then turn to Zhima Bay. The mountain path there is more than 20 kilometers long. In the dense forest, mountains and rivers and mountains, people are numb after walking for ten hours. When it nearly collapsed, a huge stone suddenly appeared in the jungle. When climbing the huge stone, there was an opening in front of us

The vast sea is dotted with mountains and islands. From left to east and right to west, there are remote Hong Kong islands, outlying Lamma Island, Cheung Chau Island, Jiaoyi Island, and large and small islands. The sea is smooth and calm as silk. The island is dark green, and the sea is sapphire blue. There is no sunset in the sky. I don't know whether the clouds are too thick or it is too late. However, we know that she has been here before. Waves have the color of sunset, clouds have the color of sunset, fog has the color of sunset, light purple, light pink, light yellow, light blue... hazy, dreamlike. All tiredness melts into the cloud in an instant. The downhill was like a god's help. I trotted all the way and my legs were light.

Back to the small village at the foot of the mountain, there is a small bridge and a pavilion of lighthouses at the seaside, and there is still afterglow curling up in the valley and shoal.

In Hong Kong, there are so many seas, how can you miss the sunset at sea. I went out to sea with a group of friends on a boat and floated on the sea in the southern district. Suddenly, I found the sky in the east turned red. I turned my head to the west. Just now, the sky was flat. It seemed that there was a magic master lighting up the sky. The rosy clouds were flying all over the sky. From the west to the middle, the sky was half full. All kinds of colors were stunning, but I could not find where the sunset was. It is highly suspected that the sunset deliberately knocked over the paint box. At the moment, he is hiding behind the cloud brocade and rosy satin, looking at the stunned people and secretly laughing.

In those years, the sunset in Hong Kong was beautiful frame by frame, never disappointing.
