Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city state well known for its dense skyline and its Cantonese culture. The city was formerly a British colony before it reverted back into Chinese control. In Hong Kong, I visited several tourist landmarks such as the Temple Street Night Market, and visited Victoria Harbour.

Victoria Harbour holds light shows synchronised to music nightly. It lasts about 14 minutes and uses lasers and fireworks. 

Another landmark I visited while in Hong Kong was the Avenue of Stars. This walk is modelled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and includes handprints and autographs of Hong Kong celebrities. It is located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront. There are also statues of several celebrities, most notably Bruce Lee.

I also visited the Temple Street Night Market, a street bazaar, which sells everything under the sun including clothing, trinkets, electronics, jade, and antiques. The entire market is held under the bright neon signs which dominate the streets of Hong Kong. There is even a market which sells goldfish in bags, and turtles as well.
