Hong Kong

Last day of November and it’s time to let in the festive atmosphere — here’s a shot of the decorations outside the Peninsula Hotel in TsimShaTsui last year.

Vroom 2

Hong Kong

One of the many photos I took when I was very into taking panning shots…This one was taken in Central and I bet I looked pretty odd chasing these vehicles with my camera.

Poinsettia

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Hong Kong

With less than a month to go before Christmas, we can see Poinsettia in many places including this little florist in Sheung Wan.

There’s no public holiday for Christmas in Mainland China so I’m hoping I can take a few days off…(I’ll keep my fingers crossed).

10A

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Hong Kong

An advertising billboard at Causeway Bay selling the achievements of a tutorial center, and this is how sick Hong Kong’s education system is — students are relying on superstar tutors to help them achieve 10As (high scores) in public examination. But have they really learned the knowledge? Do 10As really mean they are educated?

Street signs sold at a stall at the Star Ferry pier at TsimShaTsui. Hong Kong, one photo a day has covered most of the areas seen here with the exception of Temple Street and Nathan Road.

Times Square

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Hong Kong

Hong Kong has a lot of buildings and landmarks named after famous British cities and places, and in recent years, there are quite a few places named after American landmarks; and Times Square in Causeway Bay is a perfect example. I’ll show you the World Trade Center later…

Tap Mun

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Hong Kong

I don’t know much about the skill to take this photo, I don’t know much about the equipment required; all I know is that it is a magnificient photo taken by SiuSiu while he was star-gazing at Tap Mun, aka Grass Island (<--see link).

Sai Kung

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Hong Kong

A great scenic photo by Dave Aufrance in Sai Kung. This is the kind of view I have never seen in Hong Kong and I know it takes quite some hiking to get to see it…As Dave said: “It shows a side of Hongkong that most people aren’t familiar with - space and few houses!”
Dave, I hope some day I’ll see it in person, maybe we can go hiking together in HK :-)

Racecourse

Hong Kong

A photo by Walter which he named as Racing Street…my guess is that this was taken in the Middle Levels, probably around Caine Road and Seymour Road.

Bollard and rope

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Hong Kong

This photo was by Ysengrin who lives in HK and shares the same passion of taking photos of daily life in the city, and I dearly love this commentary…how true…

I took this picture in one of my daily trip in the Star Ferry…a must see in Hong Kong. I took it everyday but I’m still fascinated with the fact that when you go in (exept the fact that everybody have mobile, PDA and other hi-tech toys) you feel like this place didn’t change since the last century. The sailor also repeat moves that have been started long time ago

Wetland Park

Hong Kong

Michelle took this photo at the Hong Kong Wetland Park (<-- see this link).
"I am not only happy to have discovered Wetland Park in Hongkong this time, but the new KCR line to New Territories area. The transport is so well developed in Hongkong that makes thing so simple now.”
