Last stop before returning home from Asia, Hong Kong! and an afternoon in Macao.
We were there for 3 days. I had a pretty bad feeling about Hong Kong but it was actually quite amazing.
Lots of food hanging in the streets of Hong Kong
There’s a nice mix of nature and buildings downtown, buildings are pretty cool too.
Bamboo scaffolds.
Colorful temple.
Outdoor kitchen.
The tramway system in the city is very nice.
Views of the city from Victoria Harbour.
The next day we decided to take a field trip to Tai Long Wan!
Corner garage on the way to the subway.
The subway is clean and efficient.
Just a cow in the city.
Hummmm ??
After the subway a little taxi ride was needed to get to the hiking path.
5 minutes into the hike you understand why you took the subway for 45 minutes and the taxi for 15 minutes.
First stop, the beach at Ham Tin Wan
If you don’t have time to waste there’s an helipad.
Pretty amazing place, about an hour and half from downtown Hong Kong, using the slowest transport options.
Keep walking up the hill and you are greeted by this amazing view of Sai Kung beach
There’s a little restaurant for a little break and refreshments, accessible by this very safe bridge
We stayed at the beach for a while and took the boat to get back, it was so hot we didn’t feel like hiking. Back in the city.
Quick appetizer before dinner
Went to Mong Kong to take shots of the sign, get some food and visit the market
The next day we slept for a bit and then we went to Macao which is about a 1hour boat ride from Hong Kong, being Portuguese I wanted to see what Macao was all about.
The view from out hotel room
Tuned up minivans everywhere
Downtown Macao, mini Las Vegas
You can feel the Portuguese heritage all over the place but there’s no one speaking Portuguese in the streets.
Skyline
The famous facade of the church that was burned down
Old and Newish
Nice building
Inside one of the hotels, pretty nice
The next day was the last one in Hong Kong, walked around and did some shopping
Little girl hustling at the market
Food drying in the street
Everything is dried up
Lambo in HK
Lots of streetart around town
Amazing light entering a temple
Quarry bay apartments
Hong Kong was great, great people, great food, great nightlife and a clean city, I was very impressed and would love to go back someday.
