Fragrant Harbour

Hong Kong means "Fragrant Harbour" due to its early history of incense shipping, it gave the area a pleasant smell....not so much today but....Oh! What a city! When you fly into the airport the island looks like some futuristic city full of glass towers with a network of red taxi cabs, buses and cable cars.....all hovering precariously on the edge of the harbour (my computer likes the English spelling!) encased by plush, green tropical mountains. By day, it's buzzing with luxury malls and restaurants with connecting indoor walkways for well dressed business people and tourists to move about the city...... and plenty of market places full of street vendors, my favourite's!

We experienced a shoe maker (Lii Lii near the office) and payed a visit to Rick's tailor (Sandy at William Cheng and Sons on Kowloon) .....

and we looked for margins at the Ladies Market, Stanley Market, Li Yuen East and West....

We ate at some fabulous restaurants! AQUA and SPOONS were in towers on the Kowloon side giving us an incredible view of the evening light show in Hong Kong.

and an excellent, hard to find, family style Chinese restaurant in central Hong Kong....Yun Fu.

This was my Hong Kong.......
