Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong 香港, China 2017

An oasis of green in an urban setting, Hong Kong Park is outstanding in the way its design blends in with the surrounding natural landscape. The park features an aviary, a greenhouse, the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, fountains, lily ponds, playgrounds, a restaurant and even a marriage registry. The aviary features more than 80 species of birds in a well-designed tropical ‘rainforest’. Also noteworthy is the way flowing water has been employed as a thematic motif to link the different features of the park by waterfalls, streams, ponds and cliffs made from artificial rocks. The park is also a great vantage point to take some snaps of the surrounding skyscrapers.






















Aberdeen Fishing Village, Hong Kong 香港, China 2017

The Aberdeen fishing village is an area in the southern end of Hong Kong Island. It’s famous for the Chinese Junks and Sampan boats that people live in. It’s also famous for its floating restaurants which float on top of the water. Many people who live in this area live in the Aberdeen harbour on a Sampan or Chinese Junk, also known as a floating home. Fishing is a way of life for these people. The number of people living in these floating homes has been decreasing due to many high-rise buildings built here over the last few decades.













Peak Tram, Hong Kong 香港, China 2017

The Peak is often dubbed Hong Kong’s most spectacular destination, but even just getting to it can be almost as spellbinding. The Peak Tram opened in 1888 for the exclusive use of the British governor and The Peak’s residents, but today it can be enjoyed by everyone as the steepest funicular railway in the world. The journey takes only seven minutes and is a visual experience to remember, as skyscrapers glide past at what appear to be impossible angles while the tram makes its ascent.
