Hong-Kong, China, January 2018
I don't regret having decided to make a long stopover. Normally scheduled for one hour, I chose the next flight to stay there for 6 p.m. Finally 5pm. because the plane was 1h late...
Arriving in Hong-Kong, I discover from the sky, the artificial island sheltering the entrance to the 6.7km (3.73mi) underwater tunnel which will link Hong_Kong to Macau, completed by two 22.8 cable-stayed bridges ( 13.67mi) and 12km (7.45mi).
The visit to Hong-Kong, under a light drizzle, was done fairly quickly. I was still able to see what I had planned. I had contacted a Frenchman, Alexandre (met on routard.com living there and knowing the city well, he was eloquent on everything related to this city and I learned a lot even if I forgot some a lot.
I had planned: HSBC Main Building, Statue Square, Two International Finance Center, The HK Observation Wheel, Victoria Park, Time Square, Bowrington Road and 1881 Heritage. At night, Hong-Kong is wonderful, even in the rain. At times, I would have thought I was in New-York at the foot of these huge skyscrapers. A city to discover absolutely.
