After our visitors left Saturday evening, it was off to Hong Kong for me on Sunday evening. I spent two days in the main city center. Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis that is so completely different than Singapore it takes a minute to adjust. Of course, no where is as clean as Singapore but its also far more crowded. The skyline is amazing as you come in at night!
For those interested in a little history, Hong Kong is one of two special administrative areas (SARs) of China. The second being Macau. Hong Kong technically only came into existence in 1997 when the transfer of sovereignty occurred from British rule.
I really would like to take the whole family back to Hong Kong to explore Disneyland Hong Kong, Ocean Park (a huge amusement park that houses the An An and Jia Jia two giant pandas!) and Macau (Las Vegas of Asia). Hopefully we will have the opportunity over our time here.
