Street scene, Kowloon. /Steven/ We were given almost a week's holiday from teaching, which happened to coincide with our visa expiry date, so with Hong Kong just 2 hours away, we arranged travel websites to take a break there. Just last year I was selling travel websites long-haul holidays to the Far-East, amongst many places, and dreaming of being able to make the journeys that my customers were making, so living 2 hours away from Hong Kong now means that those dreams in an office in England are now my reality. We took the ferry from Zhongshan, falling asleep onboard,due to the early start, and waking up to see a huge crane being pulled by a labouring tug-boat through Victoria harbour, with the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island behind. First thing was to find our guesthouse. Hong Kong, it turns out, is a difficult place for the spendthrift, with prices far out- stripping those of any destination in mainland China. This being the case, we had opted for budget accomodation in Kowloon at the famous(read infamous) travel websites ChungKing Mansions- this place was like a hive- 90 guesthouses alone, not to mention the various other businesses all crammed travel websites into one 1960's era pile of a building. All
A nice little travel websites figure found in the Hong Kong Art Museum, which, amongst several others, is totally free on Wednesdays! this and just a stone's throw away from the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong- the colonial era Peninsula, which is skirted by a string travel websites of designer shops- versace, dior etc. The Chungking mansions has just about every type of person from every part of the world passing through it- quite different from Guangdong, with a mix of either Han Chinese or Cantonese. It has 15 floors; we were luckily placed on the 8th floor, our 13th floor room was unavailable on arrival, so we could use the decaying stair wells to get up and down instead of always relying on the old lifts, and queing for them. the place was a bit of a shock at first, especially our cell like room in the interior of the building, so no windows! You can get a suit made up in Hong Kong for next to nothing, given the Indian tailoring trade here, in fact every second person seems to ask you if you need a tailor. Speaking of the pavement life, the people in HK are super stylish, which complements the eye popping travel websites urban scenery. We roamed all over the place in the four days we were
Told you the path was spooky. there from the island of Lantau, to see the big Buddha( a bit ill faited this trip, as we actually caught the wrong bus to the Buddha and ended up all the way back in the city proper, having to re-trace travel websites our steps) to Mong Kok in in Northern Kowloon, where the neon and other lights were so bright that it was possible to walking travel websites around in something approaching a man made daylight late at night. travel websites The harbour was , obviously, travel websites spectacular- everything I imagined it to be. The best views of the harbour were from a windy Victoria peak after taking the tram- so steep that, it felt like you were riding straight up the buildings outside the windows. At the top, you are suddenly trapped inside a huge shopping mall with a series of escalators to a viewing platform on it's roof, which they charge entry for. We managed to escape this and walk along a winding and eerie path in a gail past look out spots, where there were crowds of photographers, huddled around travel websites their increasingly high-tech equipment, but with enough travel websites gaps for some breathtaking views of the harbour at night.
