It was four days of photo-walking in Hong Kong and Macau. We had to deal with the moody weather, blazers put on and taken off on repeat. Wished we visited during Autumn instead. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the trip. We relied on the travel blogs plus the MTR app and by the way, I loved Hong Kong’s MTR. I felt safe carrying my camera everywhere without worrying about it getting snatched or stolen. If we had more time, we could have visited more places which were in our itinerary but it gave us a reason to go back. Here are some of my photos which were taken during our trip.
Hong Kong Sky Tour.Zoom In.Hong Kong’s Skyscrapers. It would have been nice to visit the Peak at night.Escalators at the Peak Galleria.We met Einstein at Madame Tussauds. Let me know if that works.The Peak Tram.Early morning walk along Nathan Road and most of the shops were still closed.The double-decker buses.Waiting for the train.Ferries to Macau.The ladies’ room at the Venetian Macau.Window shopping.Illuminated balconies.Venetian Architecture.They made the ceiling look like the sky but everything’s indoor.The canal.A female gondolier.The pedicab aka tricycle rickshaw.The streets of Macau.The Senado Square.A street vendor making egg biscuits.An umbrella can take you places.Taking a rest from hours of walking.Ruins of St.Paul.Baroque architecture. Reminded me of one of my classes in college.The view from the Ruins of St. Paul.This was probably the only angle (at that time) where I could take a photo of the Ruins without too many tourists “destroying” the view.I call this the “Free Taste” street. Vendors would ask you to try their beef or pork jerkies for free (and I ended up buying some). This was also a great shopping area for egg tarts and other Macanese pastries.Back in Hong Kong.
