{Glimpses of Hong Kong}

In the City

1. Elgin Street, SoHo – Lots of small restaurants and bars.  It might look quiet here, but then this was taken around noon.  It only becomes a happening place at night, after work. (Edit:  These zigzag lines are usually found on either side of a pedestrian crossing and prohibit cars from parking there at any time –to ensure that pedestrians have a clear view of oncoming traffic.  These ‘lines’ apparently are found mainly in current or former Commonwealth countries. <Hong Kong is a former Commonwealth colony.>)

 

2.  Des Voeux Road Central – Busy street in the central business district.  The road is shared by buses, taxis, private cars, and the trams.  Sections of this street are closed off on Sundays for pedestrian-only traffic and you might see groups of domestic helpers sitting on the streets, playing cards, singing, giving each other mani/pedi’s…

In the Country

1.  Directional signs along a hiking trail on Lamma Island, the third largest island in Hong Kong.

 

2.  I saw this sign during our hike on Lamma Island, but didn’t get the chance to go in and take a look.

 

3.  A roadside altar.
