Hong Kong - day scenes

I recently travelled to Hong Kong and had the opportunity to take some shots on the weekends, and on various nights. The image directly below shows one of the subway signs, which are all in english and chinese.

The subways are not always this full, but on this day I was travelling during rush hour.

There is a Disneyland in Hong Kong, and transportation is provided via a link with the subway system. The subway cars travel only between Disney and the direct subway stop link, so these cars are customized by Disney. Note the plush seats, mouse ears as holders for standing passengers, and hands as the linkage to the center rail. The windows are also shaped like mouse ears.

IFC Tower #2. This is actually the 2nd tallest building in Hong Kong.

Various sky bridges connect many of the downtown buildings to one another.

Inside a temple located along Hollywood Road.

Various street scenes.

The ice cream creations made by Haagen-Dazs, were amazing works of art, and also delicious.

Inside the Hong Kong JW Marriott.

In my second week there, a minor cyclone passed by Hong Kong.
