Hong Kong IV

After our visit to Stanley, we decided to view the famed escalator walks leading to the residential levels of the peak. So from Stanley, we took the bus back to central. As it was the afternoon, the escalators were moving up (in the mornings they move downhill) which was great as that was the direction we were heading in. It was an interesting experience as through-out the walk, we could peek left and right into residences right next to the walkway.

Halfway up, we decide to stop for afternoon tea at an English type teahouse called Portebello.

Having explored the escalators, we then decided to have an early dinner at the famous Yung Kee, famous for it's roast goose.

With our roast goose, we had a vegetable and goose liver sausage, a clay-pot fish and egg-plant, and a garlic fried vegetable. It was all very good except for the price... but that's Hong Kong!

After dinner we walked over to Pier 7 and took the Star Ferry once again to Kow Loon in time for the light show of Hong Kong Harbour which started at 8pm. Below are some shots, taken free hand and mostly free of camera shake!.

Once again, after taking the Star Ferry back to Hong Kong Island, we walked back to Wan Chai before calling it a night.
