Destination Hong Kong

A decade after England ceded Hong Kong to China the former British colony remains a center of world commerce even with its new identity as a SAR (Special Administrative Region).

Day and night the city is a beehive of activity. The action here is energetic and ceaseless. Cranes haul their loads above sprouting skyscrapers encased in rickety webs of bamboo scaffolding. Dense but orderly crowds shuffle on and off the sleek metro trains. The Star Ferry service shuttles back and forth across Victoria Harbour, the pungent stretch of water that separates Hong Kong Island from Kowloon. Narrow alleys lined with shops and food stalls are a round-the clock melee of exotic noise, color and smells.
