Hong Kong pictures

Downtown Hong Kong looks just like any other big city might when you're standing on the street... Skyscrapers so high all around you that you can barely see the top when you look up. However, when you go up a few levels off the street, you can see the thing that makes Hong Kong's downtown different from that of, say, New York City - the skyscrapers are built into the mountains! As you can see in one of the first pictures, in the background, the mountains are almost as tall as the buildings. You can also see the buildings that are built right on the sides of the mountains. So strange and REALLY cool!
The night time pictures are taken across the water from the downtown area. The view at night was spectacular! We may take another weekend trip back to Hong Kong before heading home next summer, or, (maybe wishful thinking) on the way to Beijing to watch a little of the Olympics?!?!?!?!
