Hong Kong at Night

We took several walks through Hong Kong at night. I was amazed at how the buildings were lit up...not realising that they were lit up for the Symphony of Lights show, held almost every evening weather permitting, at 8pm.

Below are a few shots of various buildings at night. All are on the south side...Hong Kong island in other words...If you're like me, go check out google maps to get an idea of all the different islands that make up Hong Kong. Hong Kong Island is just one of the islands that everyone calls 'Hong Kong'. 

The old restaurant at the peak

The following are all pics of the buildings on Hong Kong Island. 

There was a stunning fountain/water feature that we walked by on our way to the subway station on Hong Kong Island. Couldn't help snapping some pics as the lights changed colour :-)

We headed to a restaurant a friend recommended. Wu Kong Shanghai restaurant...it's in the basement of 27 Nathan Road and the food really was very good!! 

On our way back up Nathan Road to the hotel, one would get a strong smell of dried and salted fish every now and then when one passed certain stores! There seemed to even be dried sea cucumbers I think...although I can't be sure exactly what each of the items are. It was interesting to have people offering tailor made suits as we walked along this road. I never felt threatened, but it certainly was odd!

 It was this kind of thing that made me feel that the Kowloon side was more 'authentic' Hong Kong :-)
