2. Open seaview - take above sliver, divide by two.
3. Partial seaview - the one square inch that you can see from the extreme corner of the bathroom window, if you crane your neck at a 90 degree angle. Pray there's no fog.
In short, don't pin your hopes on just a seaview, in HK the average view is of someone elses apartment. The beaches are fairly accessible if you want to visit when the weather is good.
