The very famous skyline of Hong Kong. Across the strait is Kowloon
For the architecture buffs:
The Bank of China Tower. Pretty much my favourite building in Hong Kong. Designed by I.M. Pei, who also designed the Louvre Pyramid
The also very famous Star Ferry transporting people from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon
Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Double-decker trams and buses!
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Tributes to a colonial past
Kowloon. Streetscene with a gazillion neon signs
Not everyone is so rich in Hong Kong...
Woman selling roasted chestnuts on the street
Man Mo Temple. Incense hanging from the ceiling
Wong Tai Sin Temple. Woman offering incense
Tai O. Old fishing village on Lantau Island where many houses are built on stilts in the water
I love Tai O. It's like going back in time. Lots of memories from my childhood. Here, people are drying salted fish and egg yolks...
... and here people are making shrimp paste blocks...
... and here Dad and I are catching crabs. For fun, not to eat :)
