The bamboo building a.k.a Bank of China Building.
The IFC oftenly featured in HK TVB - The Gem Of Life
They claim this as the longest outdoor escalator. It's meant to commute public who stays up this steep slope. The SOHO is up here too.
If you choose to walk up the slope instead....
While trekking around the peak...
Every morning in Aberdeen....
Cruises...
From inside the cable car at Ocean Park....
Where else!
OK, this is not a mere picture entry.
It was November '09...
AkiraSabine just watched several episodes of TVB's Heart Of Greed. Automatically, the memory of 2 months ago came flashing back as they show the views of HK. She saw snippets of views at Victoria Harbour, view from Victoria Peak and Tsim Tsa Chui. Earlier, when she watched The Gem Of Life, she constantly saw snippets of the IFC, the escalator at MidLevels, Lan Kwai Fong, the piers, the MTR stations, the trams, the taxis, buses and mini buses.
All these sights brought her back to her visit 2 months ago. The sights of the luxury cruises cruising across the harbour especially, which she caught sight from the peak, trhe harbour and from where she did her hiking. The people around her who all spoke Cantonese unlike where she came from with a mixture of languages, the busy streets, the high rises, the nice soft bakeries.
On her only Sunday in HK, the streets got crowded. For a moment, AS was confused if she was in a neighbouring South East Asian country or HK. People came and picnic as early as 8 o'clock in the morning at pavements and parks. People swarmed into departmental stores like bees. People occupying the public sports amenities with their own skin of people.
All in all, it's been a pleasant up close experience in HK. All the while, HK only appears on TV to AS that she's could not still believe she's landed and explored the country by herself. It was as nice as she expected it to be!
