Just completed my Tour of Duty, a grueling 10 days beginning in Hong Kong, DongGuan (Southern China), Dalian, and then Shanghai. The consolation is the good food with good friends….

Hong Kong is always quite magical; the star ferry at the harbour, the lights, night market, Nathan Road...



If you are looking for a great restaurantwith good ambience go to The Peak. They serve good western and local food. The duck is good, the ribs-superb. The Peak Lookout has garden tables or indoor but it would be wise to book a table ahead or via the net as I did.


The view that evening from The Peak was quite good. It overlooks the buildings on Hong Kong Island.



The night market at Mongkok is still a good place to buy copy stuff. I withheld hoping to do my shopping in Shanghai. However, disappointed to find out that the copy market in Shanghai (Shang Yang Lu) has been closed down. So the night market at Mongkok is still one of the last few surviving copy market.
For a night of good life jazz music, try Ned Kellie's Last Stand off Peking Road, somewhere on the right.


The hustle and bustle of Hong Kong is still uniquely Hong Kong...
