Here’s a quick info about this magnificent structure that stands for more than 80 years already.

The Peninsula Hong Kong (Chinese: 半島酒店) opened in 1928 is Hong Kong’s first hotel and is also one of the most internationally recognizable hotels in Hong Kong.^[1] It is located at the junction of Nathan Road and Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Founded by members of the Kadoorie family, the hotel today is part of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels group headed by Sir Michael Kadoorie, and it is the flagship property of the The Peninsula Hotels group. The Peninsula has been voted as the world’s best hotel on a couple of occasions, and is widely regarded as one of the legendary properties.

Quoted from Wikipedia

It was very difficult to get a wider view of the hotel that I needed to opt for panoramic approach to get the entire hotel in the frame. With my tripod set up with the help of Wendy, I was able to quickly snapped a series of photos without much human traffic. Having less human traffic would ease the pain of removing blurring subjects appearing in stitched photo later on. I won’t really call this as panoramic but technically it is (I suppose). It’s more like a fish-eye shot in my opinion. What do you think?

I preserve the dark background, unaltered so that we can appreaciate the result entirely, minus any cropping.
