[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
If Hong Kong is the "City of Life", then life is a mall. Some speculate that Hong Kong people need to shop to escape their cramped dwellings; others simply ascribe the shopping mania to disposable income and greed. The large numbers of missionary churches around town may owe their business to guilt at the universal habit of shopping right through Sunday. The prime shopping areas are bedlam at weekends, and merely chaotic during the rest of the week. Standard opening hours are 0930-1900 Monday to Sunday, the shopping never stops. Hong Kong people bridle at the very idea of a sales tax, so visitors can forget about hoarding their receipts.
This picture was taken at the Kowloon side looking towards Victoria Island. I took this picture inside the grounds of the Chinese Cultural Center. All the buildings you see across the bay in this picture are older buildings except for the one with the undulating roof on the left hand side. This is the new Convention Center. I will be uploading more Hong Kong pictures in the near future,
