Hong Kong Day 1

Today was our first day in Hong Kong. My first impression was how different the skyline is compared to Beijing and Albuquerque, while the second impression was the humidity. During our sight seeing we were able to get beautiful views of the city after taking a cable car to the top of a peak in Hong Kong. We were able to see Victoria harbor, Buddha statues, and many markets. We finished the day by watching a light show in Victoria harbor, and riding in a ferry across the harbor to the other side of the island. Overall, Hong Kong has provided many beautiful sights that contrast to Beijing. Touring in Beijing was comprised mostly of historically significant landmarks, while touring in Hong Kong had been comprised of urban landmarks and architecture.
