So after my one and only class on Thursday morning, my roommate and I headed to Central (downtown Hong Kong) to get our student train passes. She had to head back to campus, but I stuck around and did a little exploring. After getting my bearings, I headed up to the Hong Kong Park, a very nice, relatively new man made park. There is a little lake with fish and koi swimming around and turtles that were sitting on rocks sunbathing. There also is an aviary, one with caged birds and one where you go inside and walk around. Lots of colorful birds flying around! I'll have to go back with my better camera an take more pictures. I also climbed to the top of a lookout tower and got cool views of the city. The park also had a greenhouse, sculpture walk, amphitheater, and playground. It was a peaceful break from the bustling city right below.
After the park, I followed a short walk that was in a guide book. Probably the highlights of the walk were seeing the government house--this is where the head of Hong Kong lives, and the cutting edge architecture of the skyscrapers.
Here are a few pictures. More to come.
