Ngong Ping

Hong Kong

Countdown to the farewell — 3 more days until the suspension of HKDP
I went to Tung Chung and took a ride on “Ngong Ping 360″ cable car to see the big Buddha on the mountain. If you ever come to Hong Kong and you haven’t been there, don’t miss it.

Sai Kung

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 :-)

Sky blue

Hong Kong

Today is DP theme day on “the color blue” and here’s a suggestion from our chief: This time, take a picture of something prominently blue. Be creative! A picture of the sky fits the criteria, but is very boring.

Mmmmm…how about a photo of the sky from the sky of HK?



There are currently 116 blogs participating in this theme day:

Dried goods

Hong Kong

Perhaps you have noticed that I have posted a “shops from the bus” series to in the past few days (missing posts again :p), here’s a dried goods shop in Sheung Wan and the specialty is dried salted sausages, ham and probably salted fish plus a lot of different kinds of sauces.

Lion Rock

Hong Kong

Behold, the mountain in the background is the famous Lion Rock, famous for its shape and that it is visible from various places in Kowloon. The term “Below the Lion Rock” generally means “life in Hong Kong” carrying a hidden meaning of it being tough. There is also a song with the same name which touches the heart of many HK people and is considered the most representative song of the city.

Line-up

Hong Kong

I walked past a quiet street in the Mid-Levels and saw this line-up…they were probably left out there by the owner to get some sun and obviously, he and she was a very tidy person :-)

Sunset from atop

This is the first time that I ever looked at a sunset from atop like this. It was amazing and I just kept clicking like this is the well…first time. And I promise I’ll show something different tomorrow :-)

Taking off

Hong Kong

The plane was just starting to take off and this is the photo I took while the plane was moving. Beautiful, isn’t it? I must say I have never seen sunset from the air before. You’ll see the last photo of this series tomorrow. :-)
