Hong Kong by night

What do New York, San Gimignano and Hong Kong all have in common? Distinctive skylines. And in the Chinese New Year period, Hong Kong lights up their buildings. This photo was taken from the ferry crossing from Kowloon to Hong Kong island.


And here's a photo of the skyline, also taken from the ferry.


We loved travelling around Hong Kong in the narrow, double-decker trams. We always headed upstairs for the view of the city along the way. There was a tram stop just outside our hotel with a tram at least every 10 minutes, even on public holidays. And the HK$2 fare worked out at less than 30 cents Australian. So it was a very cheap and efficient way of getting around.
