Maybe it’s the effects of a week in Beijing, where two sunny days immediately after my arrival quickly gave way to an as-yet-unbroken streak of opaque skies, but this shot of the Hong Kong skyline has me yearning for bluer climes. I snapped this shot from the Star Ferry back in 2008, when a long work-related stint in Hong Kong gave me a few days to explore the city. The Star Ferry has to be one of the best deals in Hong Kong — for just 6 HKD (75 American cents) you cross the Harbor while enjoying fantastic views of the city. Other great bargains for Hong Kong visitors include the bird and flower markets (free) and an evening tram tour of the city (2 HKD).
This is the latest in a series of Friday snapshots featuring photos from my travels in China and beyond.
