Hong Kong Harbour
Boat Terminal for the Jumbo Floating Restaurant Hong Kong Harbour
We visited the Aberdeen fishing village which is now dominated by Sampan tour boats, an extra fee of course. Our next stop was a prestigious jewellery factory where we could watch and photograph craftsmen fashion ornaments made of gold and gems. Karen tried on a ring she didn't want to leave behind and Ken tried on a pendant made of an old Chinese coin from 1800.

We drove the winding road past Repulse Bay, sandy beaches and continued on to Stanley Market which has shrunk since my last visit in the 1980s. Since the line ups for the tram ride were very long on Sunday, we drove to the top, took photos and took the ride back down. The view of Hong Kong Island was spectacular from the peak from the beach to the white condo towers and the office towers of Hong Kong.

I had to add some photos from Sunday Night's Harbour Light Show.
Every night at 8:00pm the buildings on Hong Kong Harbour (Central District) put on a 15 to 20 minute light and laser show. Best place to watch this is down on the harbour behind the museum.
