Hong Kong



Hong Kong is busy, smoggy and chaotic. It's largely what I was expecting but a bit grubbier. I take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour to Hong Kong Island, the financial heart of the city, and explore. Everything is well sign-posted in Chinese and English so I have none of the problems I had in Beijing a few year ago.

The Escalator connects the upper and lower parts of the island with a series of escalators, avoiding the need to walk up steep steps. Excellent.
