Hong Kong - the Amazing City

I am back from Hong Kong with the late flight at 9:45 pm via Shenzhen. The Monday that just past was a busy day for me, after my absence in office for five weeks. Everyone including the Ayi, seems to have something to say to me. Now, I have left Shanghai and now I am sitting at the desk of Shangri-La Hangzhou. I will start my journey in Zhejiang from tomorrow.

Well. Considering it is already early in the morning, I won't talk too much about the Hong Kong trip this time, although I have so much to talk about it. Hong Kong is an exciting and attractive city. This first time visit helped me to learn that there is still a very long way for Shanghai to catch up with the standard Hong Kong built and maintained, as a friendly metropolitan, as a business central and as a tourist city.

Here is what is the key learning this time. I will find more time (maybe this weekend) to explain the trip in more details.

1. Hong Kong is a city with great usability (as Eric said). Look at the Hong Kong metro - so effective and so clear.
   
2. Hong Kong is a communication intensive city - there are 5 times more signs, signal lights, yellow lines (on the road), posters and other ways of communities than in Shanghai
   
3. I like boats there - the star ferry is fantastic. I also took private boats and fasterTurboJet.
   
4. I love the islands around Hong Kong - we visited Cheung Chau, and Lantau (the Sea Ranch). - Thanks for Minji to host us on her small island.
   
5. Hong Kong is an ideal place for hiking - surprise? I claimed up to the maintain along Mt. Davis Path to the Jockey Club Mt. Davis International Youth Hostel. It took me 35 minute but the view was breath-taking

Acknowledgement

Wendy and Jian Shuo would like to thank Minji and the German girl (we didn't know her name yet) for hosted us on their 50-residents island, and Eric for professional tour guiding.
