China - Day 10


China – Day 10
Today we set out to explore the city of Hong Kong. We booked a water cruise through the ports of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a one of the world’s largest natural ports, and by taking a cruise through it you can defiantly see why. The harbor is packed with container ships, fisherman, and people just out for a boat ride. Our cruise went under the new bridge that is being built, and it was unbelievable. People are working around the clock getting this bridge ready for people to start driving across it. After the cruise we checked out the Hong Kong walk of fame. We saw a sculpture dedicated to Bruce Lee, and a bunch stars like the Hollywood walk of fame right on ocean. It is very hot here. The humidity and the smog make it very hard to breathe, so going inside is kind of nice. Our hotel is located right on ocean, but it also is connected to a huge mall that spans the entire boardwalk. From Louis Vinton to Prada and everything in-between, this mall has it all! It’s where the rich locals and tourists come to shop. Tomorrow we are going to check out Victoria Peak.
