Had a few days here on biz so wandered around with the camera and some filters when time permitted. Only stayed in the finance district and time was limited so didnt get to see that much sadly ... I will return!
Battled the crowds and took the tram up to The Peak ...
More to follow ...

Hong Kong is certainly one of the places/trips I miss after returning to the UK.

Jeeze, that first photo from the first thread - I swear I'd have fallen off the walkway/balcony if I'd seen that after a heavy night.

I'm jealous!! Certainly a great place to visit IMHO. Have been lucky enough to travel there many times on business, visa runs and stopovers/short breaks.GLCQuantum wrote:Thanks for the pics Buksi. I'm going there next month and your pics have got me all excited!
Certainly take a look at the "touristy stuff", but hit the side roads and "pavement eateries" - absolutely superb!! Mong Kok/Tung Choi Street is well worth a look - dare I say a must if you've not been before...
The Long Haired General and myself met my parents in HK a few years back whilst they were en-route to Australia for a holiday - we took them to one of the afore mentioned "pavement eateries" which they were nervous about, but loved at the end of the day....... the one thing that had all around in hysterics was the fact that my mother insisted on taking a bottle of wine from the hotel, which I think cost more than ALL table's food (and beer) whilst we were there...
Anyway - enjoy your trip blue..
