Hong Kong at night

After I put on the latest entry on the site I knew that I had to see the famous Hong Kong lights at night. Most of the highrise buildings are situated on Hong Kong Island and so from Kowloon, which faces the island over the famous Victoria Harbour the view was immense. So many buildings and vivid lights with a few junk boats rocking in the waves between giving the place a distinct Asian feel.





I actually met a young guy from Hong Kong at the viewing platform as he kindly insisted upon me using his tripod to take a picture. He looked pretty trustworthy, the camera could be replaced and there were no photos in the film yet, so I gladly used his tripod!! Got some good pictures and exchanged email addresses. It was interesting hearing what he said about Hong Kong, he said it is smaller now than before, and I know that a few companies left when China took over from Britain. It still looks pretty big though!!



Will now go across the harbour on a junk this morning and then go up to the Victoria Peak to look over both Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Had a lovely email from my auntie Bridget to wrap up before I get back, how cold is it!?!...

Hi there Ady.

Love from Bridget and co...
