Impressions of Hong Kong - December 2010


I'd like to start off this post by wishing all my readers a very happy new year! I'm back in Europe and didn't quite manage to update more frequently as promised, but I'll be catching up on that now. Those who were already reading this blog a year ago, may remember when I first posted my impressions of Hong Kong. I didn't take quite as many photos last week and also didn't do as much shopping, nevertheless I'll still be sharing a few gems with you...

View of Central taken from the Hong Kong Park.

The main Christmas tree made of Swarovski Crystals, illuminated at night.

Shoppers in Causeway Bay.

The Happy Valley racecourse.

Mall Culture 1: Mrs. and Mr. Santa Claus at the Landmark shopping center. The figures are made of Christmas baubles.

Bank of China at night.

Times Square shopping center and surrounding area.

The Central district.

The Star Ferry terminal and the Hong Kong harbor.

Mall Culture 2: Christmas installation at Times Square.

Residential Hong Kong.

International Finance Center.

Traditional Chinese herbal/remedy shops.

Container yards on the way to the airport.

    A very Happy New Year to you! It's difficult to blog when you're travelling, but I'm glad you've managed to post some pictures. I think one day I want to visit Hongkong, too. xoxo

    Love all the Hong Kong Christmas decorations.
    We visited there in 2007 and I was amazed at the fabulous light displays around the City.

    Looks like Hong Kong was in the holiday spirit :) Sometimes that happens to me too (not taking too many pictures). I'm too busy living and enjoying to worry about capturing the perfect photo! Glad you had a great time and I can't wait to continue reading about your many travels in the new year :)

    I had a great new years! I hope yours was enjoyable, but judging from these photos, I'm sure the days leading up to it were fantastic! I've never been to Hong Kong, but I probably should, seeing as my parents were born there. I love the kissing Santa btw! So cute!
