Hong Kong here we come

After visiting all the family in Australia, it was time for my host family to go back home to Doha. But as it is such a long flight - they had a stop over in Hong Kong on the way. We weren't there very long, but we managed to squeeze in a few fun things.


We went to Hong Kong Island and saw lots of lots of people out and about and lots of shopping malls. There are busses, trams, cars and taxis everywhere. Can you spot the double decker bus and the double decker trams!
The blurry blue is a tram, and there is a yellow one behind it. They are tall and skinny, while the busses are tall and fatter.

To get to the top of Hong Kong Island to see the view you can take a tram. It is a a funicular tram and gets pulled up the mountain. It is a very steep ride.



The view from the top is amazing. We went at night time and the lights of the city were sparkling everywhere. Don't you think it is a beautiful view?!
