This is the view from the top of Victoria Peak in
Hong Kong. Unfortunately, it was a hazy day so the pictures aren't as sharp as I wish they were.
There's me! It was hot. Around 90-95 degrees and 90% humidity. My hair did some weird things.
And Gen! This was at a little lookout that was all decorated Chinese-style. The Peak was used as a military fort, so the mountain is riddled with tunnels. It was the last stronghold for
Hong Kong in WWII. But I think it fell to the Japanese eventually.
I just thought he was cute.
Lots of skyscrapers.
Looking to the south, it's all mountains and uninhabited (or less-inhabited) islands.
Hong Kong has a really pretty topography. There aren't nearly so many trees in Tokyo.
This is how you get to the top of the Peak, the Peak Tram. It's very fun. The ride is extremely steep.
This is how the buildings look as you are in the tram. The camera isn't tilted at all. I believe it ascends at steeper than a 20 degree angle.
One of the steeper parts. No joke, it really looked like that. It make you feel kind of wobbly when you get out. Good times!
