Hong Kong

Our next stop was Hong Kong. These cities are so heavily populated, there are high rises everywhere. I visited the island where they have parks and shrines and have also built a Disneyland park. I didn’t visit there as we know that can’t be done in a day! The night market was interesting with bargains to be had everywhere. The vendors just come out here from 7pm-midnight then fold everything up and go home. Since it was my first experience, I primarily just looked at things. Next time I will be wiser in shopping for the bargains.







Hong Kong is now part of China although they have their own currency and different laws. Great Britain gave up their rights to it in the 1990’s. Their technology is quite progressive here. To protect people from fires in all the tall buildings, about every 20 floors, the floor is empty so that people have somewhere to gather if they can’t get out of the building. On this photo you can see the floor that is empty has the red line on it.






From the harbor at night, we could view downtown where there was a beautiful light show that goes on every night.
