Hong Kong visiting

Hong Kong is a beautiful city, perched on both an island and a peninsula with breathtaking views of the Red River and the South China Sea. On our first day, we resorted to the tried-and-true tourist approach and purchased a "Big Red Tour Bus" 24-hour ticket. We enjoyed the view as the driver took us around Hong Kong Island, viewing the amazing skyline and the stunning architecture that is the Hong Kong Special Administrative District (HKSAD-motto, "One government, two systems). After an exhausting day on the top of a double-decker bus, we road the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbor to the Kowloon Peninsula, then braved rush-hour MTR (subway) crowds to return home to the Sha Tin, our home away from home in the New Territories.
Here are some photos from our day's adventure.
