Our holiday started with a couple of nights in Hong Kong, so we had one full day there and two part days. We were lucky enough to have a friend who offered to take us on a sightseeing tour on our full day there.
I had decided that I wanted to see the Giant Buddha at Ngong Ping and the harbour at night, so that's what we did. Unfortunately, our free day there was a Sunday and it seems the whole of Hong Kong goes out for the day, so we had huge queues everywhere.... To get to Ngong Ping from Kowloon where we were staying involved a ride on the MTR (underground), followed by a ride in a (glass bottomed) cable car to Ngong Ping. The system consists of three long cables with automatic switching from cable to cable, the journey taking around 25 minutes.
The Buddha is impressive, standing 34m - 112 feet - high. Photo in 'landscapes'.
The light was starting to fade as we were getting ready to leave and I spotted a view I liked, so the next photo in 'landscapes' shows this.
We then went to The Peak on Hong Kong Island to photograph the harbour at night and although I took many images, I couldn't do the scene justice, it is awesome! There is a photo in 'night time'.
More to follow....
