It rained most of the time we were in Hong Kong, and it didn't matter much. The city is built for it. Covered walkways, trams, ferries, and a restaurant on every floor of every building.


Lunch on the first day was dim sum. After that we took the Star Ferry across to the island, which costs a few dollars and is the best way to see the skyline.


That evening we walked the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. The cloud sat right on top of the towers, so the lights on the island glowed through the fog.

The next day was on Hong Kong Island. The lanes around Sheung Wan are steep and full of painted walls, SoHo has bakeries, and in North Point the tram runs straight through the middle of the Chun Yeung Street market while people shop on either side of the tracks.





We finished at a lookout above the city after dark, then flew to Korea the next afternoon.
