Contours of the Earth

This is Hong Kong's "Times Square." There's not much to do here besides shop, but we passed through on our way to the races, so I figured I might as well take a picture

My first time to a horse race. It was packed!

This one came out blurry, but I managed to get the horses in the frame

Next train to Hong Kong is in 2 minutes

Glass-bottom gondola on the way to big buddha

The ride was about half an hour each way

It was a really stormy day

The bump on the hill in the center is big buddha

A cow we met along the way

The buddha, just before my camera ran out of batteries

The entrance to the garden

This translation is right on

The garden was filled with crazy looking rocks

If you look closely, you can see a guy carving one of the trees. There were 'bonzai' trees all around. Very cool

The shopping district has no shorage of neon lights

The skyline of the main Hong Kong island

This used to be the tallest building in the world. It's massive from up-close.

This picture didn't turn out great, but it's from The Peak, which is the top of the mountain on Hong Kong island. You can see almost the entire city, and across the river is Kowloon where I came in by train.
