I took a ride on a ferry all around the Hong Kong harbor. Here we are stopping at Central Pier to pick up a few people. First they churn the water really hard to stop the forward momentum, then a guy pulls us in.

Victoria Peak is a beautiful vantage point in Hong Kong, but boy is that a steep ride up!

So this is how the tram mechanism works!

And then the descent, offering beautiful views of the harbor.

When I got my very own crystal cabin going up to Ngong Ping, I couldn’t resist lying down on the ground and enjoying the feeling of floating (kinda).

Out on the water enjoying a gorgeous sunset in Hong Kong.  There’s something really cool about watching the sun setting while surrounded by water.

This was reminiscent of my grandfather’s house. Not that it’s quite so loud, but he does love to raise birds and out of sight in this clip are bamboo/wooden cages that really reminded me of the ones he has at his home.

After hours of searching, we finally came across them! Read about the entire adventure that led up to these videos, then check’em out:

I’ve been watching the Life series on the Discovery Channel and seen a bunch of cool animals from all corners of the earth.  It reminds me of this beetle I saw in Hong Kong, which looked so shiny and was so unbelievably large that I could hardly believe it was real.  Exactly why I decided to take a video of it, to ensure that you know just how alive it was.

Hong Kong has one of the more distinctive skylines in the world (especially the night view). Here’s my first glimpse of it.

It was a very zen moment, going down the escalator to the MTR and having this music and commercial playing all around me.

Haha, check out the couple kissing. So random.

The cheapest way to get around Hong Kong (other than walking, of course) would be these ding dings. They’re also a great way to watch the city go by you and enjoy the outside weather. They can be quite jerky and get too hot in the summer, but it’s fun to see the bustling streets pass by you.
