For a complete collection of my HK photos along with others, check out my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roxxstarr/


The final part of my HK photo tour is of the New Territories and Islands. I didn't dedicate much time to check out these parts of the city, which is why I missed out many important New Towns such as Shatin, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, etc.

On my ride into the city after initial arrival.

What a beast.

Tsing Yi Island

On my ferry ride to Cheung Chau for the first time.

Cheung Po Tsai Cave. Hideout for famous pirate in the 1800's.

Another famous spot on the island is the Reclining Rock.

Beach at the southside of the island. Looks completely empty here because it was in February (15 degrees or so)

The vacation houses along the coast are available for rent during summer. Must be so much fun exploring the island and vacationing here overnight.

The narrow pedestrian streets in Cheung Chau are filled with just about everything you would need to live a simple life here.

I checked out Tseung Kwan O to visit one of my father's friends.

New developments, including a new hotel tower above the MTR station.

Tseung Kwan O sports stadium.

I believe the development background (far right) is LOHAS Park.

Hang Hau MTR station area.

More to come, including Sai Kung, Tsuen Wan, etc.
 
Sai Kung yacht club.

New pedestrian pier built at Sai Kung.

People would purchase seafood from these fishermen offshore.

Tsuen Wan

5533055682_bc1b9555c0_b.jpg



This new part of the Tsuen Wan area reminded me of Shenzhen or other newer Chinese cities because of the wide streets/sidewalks.

5533067140_543b9d3045_b.jpg



Italian/Japanese fusion cuisine with plastic display dishes. Very common through HK.

It was very difficult finding a vantage point to get a good picture of Nina Tower, especially on this foggy day.

5533067988_051b6c3c1b_b.jpg



Older section of Tsuen Wan.

5533068314_5e0da29db0_b.jpg



This part reminded me of Manhattan's Chinatown. With similar size buildings, large crowds, open markets selling groceries and all kind of goods, and immigrants.

Busy pedestrian crossing on main street Tsuen Wan.

5532488503_f8d4351abe_b.jpg



This park was funded by the Jockey Club.

On the way to the airport for the final time.

Saying goodbye is never easy.

Looks like HK has cleaned up a bit after the SARS and bird flu scares. Nice set.
