Exploring the heart of Hong Kong Island

Today, I decided to wander around Central, the main business district and the picturesque skyline of most Hong Kong post cards. I spent a pleasant Saturday wandering through streets taking in the views of the densely packed apartments crawling up Victoria Peak where the super rich perch their homes...




... admiring the few remaining colonial reminders of the British, swallowed up by modern skyscrapers ....




...walking through a botanical garden, a small zoo and an aviary....

... poking through narrow alleys where local proprietors sell everything from fake handbags, clothing and trinkets....

... and finally headed home to Kowloon on the Star Ferry ....


... all in all, an enjoyable day of exploring this fascinating city.
