Etsuko and I are off to Hong Kong. We both have difficulty getting long holidays so this is just for a few days. We've never been here before so it should be long enough to give us a taste of the city and surrounds. We might also fit in a day trip to Macao as well.
We arrived last night but today was our first day to look around the city. We thought we would start our holiday with a walk around the streets of down town Wan Chai and Central on Hong Kong Island.

| Queens Way - Admiralty |

| Far East Finance Centre building |
 |
| HSBC Main Building |
 |
| Hong Kong Park and Apartments |
One thing that becomes quite clear rather quickly about Hong Kong is the number of tall building that are packed into such a small city foot print.

| Escalator |
Later that night we tried out the world's longest escalator. I was a little disappointed. I was expecting it to be one long escalator but it's a series of escalators stacked end to end and stretching from Central to the Mid-Levels. It is still over 800m long, rises 135m and took us the best part of half an hour to ride them all to the top though.

| Apartments at Night |
And again, another night shot looking back up towards the Mid-Levels and Victoria Peak with all those apartment buildings.
