Hong Kong Photos

Gary at the harbour of Hong Kong. This was taken from the Kowloon (mainland side) towards Hong Kong Island. Not exaclty what you'd call a bad view!
On top of Hong Kong's Victria Peak at sunset. This is facing North Westish, towards China where the islands and mountains fade into the clouds.
Looking towards Kowloon from the Peak over Hong Kong at night. Again, another OKish view don't you think?


Us with TJ on his visit! Nice view from our hotel window over Kowloon too.



Hong Kong and Kowloon from the peak by daytime.




One of the very lively Markets in Kowloon. This one is in Mongkok, right next to two really incredible specialist markets: the goldfish market (where beautiful tropical fish hang in plastic bags awaiting new owners) and the bird market (the same idea but for birds in delicate wooden cages).
