Now you have been waiting long enough ;-), so I want to add one more before Christmas time Hong Kong Post. As you have probably already read, Hong Kong will also come in several parts, it will probably be 3 or even 4 Reviews of Hong Kong. This is the city worth it.
After we had traveled by bus from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, we had only once through passport control in order to travel to Hong Kong can. Hong Kong is still a special administrative region and one must ene as by normal border control in Hong Kong through. The first path led us to the S-Bahn to Yau Ma Tei. There was our hotel. After a few minutes drive, we reached the bus stop and found the hotel pretty quickly when we got rid of us once the case. The first two pictures are of the view from the hotel window and the view of the street outside the hotel. (Click pictures to enlarge)
After some looking around in the hotel environment and a small break, then went even further to the Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon). There you have the best view of the skyline of Hong Kong, we know Hong Kong is not only the island, there are indeed great Areas on the Chinese mainland to do so. Once in Tsim Sha Tsui, it was already dark. Here we are just at the central collection point for those who do not want to take the MTR (Hong Kong's subway) to the island. will supply the information to you in another post or Lumi's Homepage that I write this not happen again with pure. From there we had lighted on this day also the first look at the skyline of Hong Kong, always an experience, the Bank of China Tower up to see.
As it was already 18:37 clock, we decided to wait there and wait for the light and laser show, to 20 each day clock starts there. The little brother (middle) of the tallest building in Hong Kong is next door and looks exactly like the IFC nearby, only much smaller.
Then, shortly before the start of the laser show went even a cruise ship passing by the skyline. This was also an experience for many people in the Ausichtsplattform who had now arrived.
Shortly afterwards it was then even if the light and laser show with music and commentary to the buildings and began to IFC stabbed a laser beam in de sky. A truly impressive sight that I comment here any further, but only show the pictures.
Even the best show comes to an end, including the laser show in Hong Kong. With a spectacular flurry of them sounded and we were on our way back to the hotel. 20:50 clock (time in the second picture) the streets in Hong Kong is still quite alive, that sounds for 23 clock on yet, at this time can you go in Hong Kong are still shopping, and is not alone on the street. For example, on the midnight market in Yau Ma Tei this time is just the best time to visit.
So we walked a bit along the Nathan Road and looked at the bright lights and shops. In a side street of the Nathan Road was our hotel and when we came around the corner the last frame of this paper, a look at our hotel, slender soaring because space in Hong Kong is rather scarce, and even outrageously expensive.
The next report is certain, but I also fallow time to prepare this. Our next destination in Hong Kong Ocean Park will be an amusement park on the island. There you can find a roller coaster, a aquarum and lots of other activities, even a dolphin aquarium. Until then, as a first Tschüssi and a nice weekend.
