Hong Kong 16-17

Hong Kong 29/01 - 05/02

Accomodation at AirBNB in Wan Chai (amending.luck.lawfully). 

Pretty light pollution. The Hong Kong cityscape really gets into the festive season.
Urban jungle on Hong Kong island transforms into real Jungle pretty quickly. 
Governers House and lego buildings
Our place is 8 from the left, 8 down. Endless high rise curve on Hong Kong island. View from the top of the free central plaza is worth it. From the sky it looks like New York, from the ground Tokyo. 

Hong Kong University to Peak maccas .. looking to the South. We failed to get up High West because of the bloody HK CEDD - and the initially adventurous route. 


Looking from the peak to the North. Our place is 66 from from the left 9 down




Fireworks from Golden Bauhinia Square. 


Surprisingly - it was actually worth it. Zac's $200 payment for not attending was thankfully refused. 


Morning Ding Dong





North Point view. Again the CEDD was doing a lot of development. Very popular pet location. 


Definitely in the top 10 of gondolas. Unfortunately Paulette initially would not comparing it to the Peak2Peak (See Whistler blog entry)


The history of the big Buddha  at Lantau island only dates back until 1993. I think we all would have been much more impressed if they just made something up. Turns out it's the only Buddha of this nature facing north. All others face south.


The infinity wisdom half tree trunks. 


Paulette and Zac were unimpressed with any length photo time.


Another big day for the travelling duo


Runway park cityscape





The Hong Kong recycling centre, and cruise ship building (long building in the background).
