On route to Malaysia I stopped in Hong Kong for the weekend.
The first day we went through the Hong Kong History Museum.
It was amazing to the history Hong Kong has.
There were bronze bowls and artifacts from the Ancient Dynasties that date back to 6000 BC.
That’s pretty crazy considering Canada has only been a country since 1867.
Later that day I took a tram up to the highest city lookout.
It had a 360 view of Hong Kong and the surrounding areas.
Tried out some panorama photos, turned out pretty cool.
Great views of Hong Kong?s 10 or so harbours.
Hong Kong has a very mountainous landscape which makes for a very unique city layout.
Massive towers are staggered up the hillsides with lush forest in the background.
Built on a fairly steep hill it was great for watching people fall on wet pavement.
Dan and I had some beers and took it all in.
I did see some other whities in there which was interesting.
I think they were as weirded out as we were.
The next day we took a gondola up into the hills outside of HK.
The tram leads to the largest outdoor Buddha in the world.
At 112 ft. tall and 280 tonnes it was a pretty serious site.
It is the largest outdoor Buddha in the world.
There were some amazing views of the surrounding valleys and ocean inlets.
At the bottom of the stairs leading to the Buddha there were miniature brahmas bulls and they were hilarious.
They were friendly until I started petting the bigger one and it tried to stab me with his horns.
Hong Kong has some very good deals on motel rooms.
Scattered around the city there are rooms for rent by the hour.
I took advantage of this and stayed in a few places around the city.
The needles and used condoms were also a nice touch.
After my great sleep in the affordable motels it was time to get some food.
Hong Kong has fresh seafood everywhere.
I didn?t eat at any fancy restaurants.
