Kowloon Walled City Park

On August 22nd I went to Kowloon Walled City Park.  Before it was torn down, the Walled City was a densely populated place.  It was the site of all sorts of illegal activity due to it belonging to China even though it was surrounded by British Hong Kong.  In the early 1990s the place was demolished and a park built on part of it.  Anyways, google it for more info.  Time for pictures.

A model of what the walled city looked like before it was demolished.

Saturday night

Saturday night I was on Hong Kong Island again, pulled out my camera and took two pictures.  So here's a small glimpse of the streets at night. 

Hong Kong Island trip

On Sunday I went up the Tram to the top of Hong Kong Island.  The tram began operation over a hundred years ago.  Its very pretty and once you escape the touristy stuff at the top of the lift there are some nice trails and walking areas.

The View from the apartment

This is the view from my new apartment, on the 29th floor(the top floor).  Across the water is the race course, where apparently horse racing occurs.
