Hong Kong is comprised of 4 main areas: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and the Outlying Islands. More than 70% of Hong Kong is mountains and forests, most of which is in the New Territories. Almost 95% of HonKongers speak Cantonese, however we had no trouble because English is widely spoken and street signs are bilingual as well as most restaurant menus.
Walking along the Fenwick Pier seeing the city sights.
Turtle shaped building - museum.
The Blooming Bauhinia
The Peak is the highest point (396 m) on Hong Kong Island since 1888. A beautiful view of the city and an area for the rich and famous. Here you see single dwelling homes of the very rich.
We travelled in a sampan to see Aberdeen's main attraction, the typhoon shelter, where the sampans of Hong Konger's boat-dwelling, fisher folks, used to moor.
We returned to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant for lunch.
The Sung's found us in Hong Konk and we enjoyed supper with them.
