Hongkong


It is quite unbelievable how densely packed Hongkongers are willing to live. These are impressions of the highrises that dominate the city from every viewpoint.





In between, there are quite a few "old" chinese parts left. One is the Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Road dedicated to the Gods of Literature and War - what a strange combination! Local people go to buy incense sticks for prayer or light one of the huge incense coils hanging from the ceilings.



Another interesting place to visit is the Chi Lin Monastery for nuns. It is next to Nan Lian Garden and only a short walk from the Diamond Hill MTR station, a surreal and peaceful atmosphere amidst the highrises looming around.
