The beautiful harbor is always romantic and charming. For seafarers, the harbor is the destination and the starting point, the rest time and the focus of work. Here are five super-beautiful harbors with awe-inspiring charm that are as beautiful as they are serene, giving the sea-washed soul a comfortable chance to rest.
1. Hidden in the city---Sydney, Australia
As you enter the harbor in central Sydney, two towering sandstone cliffs act like two gates, with a narrow waterway in between. Pass through the famous Sydney Opera House and the iconic Harbor Bridge, and you will arrive at the secluded Sydney Harbor. The port is located in the bustling and bustling commercial center of Sydney, surrounded by lush and lush bushes, leaving only a peaceful sea as the home for sailboats. And this small piece of sparkling turquoise water is the crown jewel of this famous city, giving it its gleaming charm. For example, on a sunny day, when the sailboats shuttled in the harbor, the water glittered like a diamond, and no other harbor could compare with it.
2. An old and "young" town---Kotor, Montenegro
The small port town in the southern part of Montenegro, located at the southern end of the Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea, is also one of the most complete cities on the Adriatic coast to preserve the original appearance of the medieval city. In 1979, it was included in the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List. The mountains embrace the port like outstretched arms, and it looks like a big bow on the map, with only a narrow waterway connected to the Adriatic Sea. No matter how raging the outer seas are, the fjords are always calm. Moreover, the water in the fjord is bottomless, showing a cobalt blue color, and even large cruise ships can be moored. When there is no wind, the calm water is like a piece of jade.
3. Pearl of the Orient---Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong
Victoria Harbor is a port and sea between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. Victoria Harbor has wide waters and stunning views. The famous Hong Kong Yacht Club is the first member-only yacht club in China and the largest yacht club in the world. It houses the largest and most luxurious yachts in China and currently has more than 10,000 members. At sunrise and sunset every day, you can take a busy ferry to shuttle between the north and south coasts. Fishing boats, cruise ships, sailboats, yachts, 10,000-ton giant ships and their whistle sound, interweave a wonderful sea scene.
4. The center of Antarctic tourism---Neko Harbor, Antarctica
Originally discovered by the famous Antarctic explorer Adrian de Gracie, Neko Harbor is surrounded by frozen fjords and glaciers full of deep ravines, at the foot of the majestic Mount Frances. It is now one of the most visited destinations on the Antarctic continent. The port is named after a whaling ship that moored in the area in the early 20th century, along with Paradise Bay. Neko Harbor is the hub of Antarctic tourism, offering stunning Arctic landscapes including icebergs, glaciers and a wide variety of wildlife, with penguins and seals being the harbor’s hosts.
5. Paradise City and Slums---Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
In January 1502, Portuguese navigators came to the bay, mistakenly thinking that it was the mouth of a big river, and casually named it "River of January". The Portuguese transliteration is "Rio de Janeiro". Rio's harbour is like a balloon with a circumference of 20 miles. The surface of the balloon is dotted with white sandy beaches, a continuous line of wonderful mountains, and in the middle of the balloon is the blue sea. When the Portuguese explorers in the 16th century sailed across the treacherous Atlantic Ocean, Rio de Janeiro provided them with a peaceful and safe resting port, where they could wash their tired body and mind, replenish their voyage materials, and then go on to challenge the next journey. Today, walking on the beach, you can see the blue water and layers of waves in front of you, and the golden soft sand under your feet.
