This is a view from the famous Victoria Peak towards buildings in Wanchai. The more common shot taken from the Peak is the "Ocean of Lights" wide view....
The prominent skyscraper is "Central Plaza" (中環廣場) and has long been the tallest building in Hong Kong before the taller 2IFC (國際金融中心二期) was built, which itself was surpassed in 2010 with topping out of the ICC (環球貿易廣場) on the Kowloon side.
During my time in that area I did have an office in Central Plaza.
A find very deep in my archives.

Leaving the lobby towards the taxi stand or arriving at the taxi stand and looking up one has this stunning view. But not for long - the security here does neither like loitering nor pictures to be taken... - so, let's go inside!
