Hong Kong

Usual Hong Kong Stuff


This is the daily Light Show at Victoria Harbour. The view is taken from the Kowloon Peninsula looking at Hong Kong Island. Honestly, I wasn't very impressed. But Hong Kong's night scene sure is beautiful!


















Another classic picture taken from The Peak
Now this is taken from Hong Kong Island looking at Kowloon.



Ocean Park!
I have not been to Ocean Park for a long long time ... was there when I was ... err 17 years old ( or thereabout )

Going to a theme park always bring out the kid in me : - )




Didn't get to see hammerhead when diving. So this is sort of a consolation ...



Was lucky. It seems like I was there during the feeding time for the Panda.

Panda at Ocean Park



This is actually a panda too. It is a red panda. Looks like a big squirrel to me . But let's not going to into taxonomy here.




Lantau Island, 大屿山
Took the cable car Ngong Ping 360. The scene is magnificent...


... especially when the big buddha statue was in sight.



The long flight of steps ...



Other scenes in Hong Kong

The hotel I stayed is near Causeway Bay. This photo is taken from the Times Square, Hong Kong. ( of course not the one in NY)


Christmas time is near.  Along Nathan Road.



Night Market
Honestly, I can't remember where I took this, probably it is somewhere near Temple Street.





Food!

I know this  seems trivial, but ... the roasted stuff 烧腊, even at those road side stores,  is among the best I have eaten. The Hong Konger ( and Macanese I must add) seems to have perfected the art of roasting.






And of course the tim sum ... slurp slurp.
