Hong Kong’s skyline is one of the most dramatic in the world, and with new 3D imagery on Google Maps and Google Earth, you can now swoop down over this magnificent harbour city, and zigzag your way between the skyscrapers. So go on, put on your virtual wings and explore parts of the city you’ve never visited before. You’ll find flying lessons here.




For those of you with aviophobia, here are some of my favorite aerial shots:
