Hong Kong Island from Kowloon

Full of neon-lit skyscrapers that light up an entire city, the view of Hong Kong Island from Kowloon is almost picked out of a sci-fiction movie...get ready to have front tickets to a laser light show!

Phang Nga Bay, Thailand

Filled with hundreds of limestone that rise hundreds of feet from the sea and come in all different shapes and sizes, this is a scene you don't want to miss out on...and the view will seem like the skyline of a sunken city. Magnificent is a word that doesn't do this view any justice!

Manhattan from the top of Rockefeller Plaza

Incredible panorama of Central Park...AND the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. How can you go wrong with a view like that? And who said the Empire State Building was the best building on Earth?
