Hong Kong Streets

Our first full day in Hong Kong saw us doing a walking tour around Nathan Road, Kowloon, where we explored the many little lanes and shops.

There were many interesting photographic opportunities down these little laneways.

We also ventured through Kowloon Park and it was there that we came across what must be the smallest McDonald’s in the world.

The day was finished off with a sunset cruise (including drinks and nibblies) around Victoria Harbour.

Another day saw us doing a walking tour of Hong Kong Island, where we saw some pretty amazing buildings. Hong Kong has the world's largest number of skyscrapers, with 317 towers taller than 150 metres (490 ft), and the third-largest number of high-rise buildings in the world.

One of our favourite skyscrapers was the Bank of China building which, at night time, has incredible lighting around the outline of the building. Hong Kong streets saw us doing a walking tour around Nathan Road, Kowloon, where we explored the many little lanes and shops.
