HONG KONG


stop one of my around the world work trip was the amazing hong kong.  this was my first time there and can say it will be far from my last!  the city was absolutely amazing and i cannot wait to go back.

ladies' market and other mongkok scenes at night




hong kong is heaven for skyscraper enthusiast and architecture lovers.  the urban planning is astounding, especially compared to stops two and three on my trip.




famous nighttime view from the peak



looking across the harbor to hong kong island from kowloon


mongkok



battling giants (i think the first one wins...)





i was fortunate enough to be in hong kong a few days before chinese new year and was able to get my cny on!









traditional chinese dimsum


with traditional tea


jellyfish


and the ultra-intimidating chickens feet...which were not as bad as they looked, though i will probably never get them again in my life.


i had the most amazing dinner at aqua hong kong in a private dining room with stunning views of kowloon, the harbor, and hong kong island.







afterwards i got crazy in lan kwai fong
