Welcome to Hong Kong
We did an all day ships excursion of Hong Kong.
Since Hong Kong was under British rule for so long before becoming a special administrative region of China almost everyone speaks English.
The views from Victoria Peak were really special (when you could see them) with the fog rolling in and out. Touring the waterways to see the Junks was a unique experience. The number and density of skyscrapers is more than in any other country. This had been on my bucket list for a very long time and it did not disappoint me.
We loved it.
