Spending 2011 year-end holidays in Hong Kong

Center: Wax Doll of Bruce Lee

Leaving Macau, stayed only two nights though it was very meaningful, we headed for Hong Kong. 

It took just one hour by express ferry. We turned in disembarkation cards again, then we stepped in on Hong Kong island. 

We took a taxi at the ferry terminal and went to the hotel in which we would stay for three nights in the early evening.

Throwing all our luggage into our hotel room, we took a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the nearest station and got on the subway to the center of Hong Kong downtown.

At first, the center of downtown seemed like Ginza area in Tokyo to me. Big department stores, jewelers and famous designer shops were disappointing us a bit.

But, we found later that the scene from the harbor area to the river and the scene from the top of Victoria Peak were awesome.

We waited for a tram car going to the top of Victoria Peak over one hour though, it was well worth for waiting.
