Starting the day taking the legendary Star Ferry north across Victoria Bay from Central to Kowloon.
To see the skyline of Central.
Back to Central, through IFC Mall.
Stopping for bakery, usually get something with red bean paste.
Western Market opened in 1906.
An incredibly dense city.
Starting to move south uphill...it's more hilly than San Francisco.
Tai Ping Shan Street. Reasonably sure I burned off that bakery.
Man Mo Temple is believed to have been built in 1847.
Convergence of Hollywood Road, Lyndhurst Terrace and Graham.
Graham Street has been lined with produce vendors for generations.
Not where I expected to see a Ferrari and Maybach.
Lunchtime.
At legendary Mak's Noodles having Beef Tendon Noodles and Won Ton Soup.
And there is a mall on Victoria's Peak. Since there is a mall everywhere in Asia.
Heading back to the Star Ferry.
Taking a look back at Central before heading north to explore Kowloon.
Underpass flower market.
Nathan is the main drag.
Bought a time share in the green building.
Random street market.
Shanghai Street
Got seedier moving north. Saw women standing in doorways and wondered if they were 'women standing in doorways'. Yep.
Wonder how many Michelin stars they have?
Subway to go further north, since I concluded walking it at night wasn't a good idea.
Mong Kok area has several markets starting with flowers.
Back to Tsim Sha Tsui allowing to see the marvelous nighttime skyline.
Using the elevated and covered walkways to head west.
Wing Lee Street is a nice secluded walkway.
Hong Kong's Central District has elevated and covered escalators to deal with the hills.
Lunch time crowds along Queens Road Central.
On the Victoria Peak tram.
For this. We have Central spread out below with Kowloon across the bay.
Looking southwest.
Temple Street Market
Nearby is the...
....goldfish market.
