Hong Kong

Promenade along Victoria Harbor

 Even though Hong Kong was not on the original itinerary, it was definitely worth the stop. We had a short stay there- a day and a half, but loved the city.  It had so many parks full of people enjoying the spring temperatures. Also, the city center was pretty compact and quite walkable. After months in Bangkok I loved just walking around a city with actual sidewalks and cool temps.

It was a challenge to find this highly recommended Dim Sum restaurant, but it was worth the pursuit, and we enjoyed meandering the narrow streets to find it.

Great job on some of my usual Dim Sum favorites- Luk Yu Tea House did not disappoint.

Another Hong Kong highlight was our mornings. The ground level of the building where our hostel was had lots of Indian food so we would grab pratha and masala tea and walk down to the Harbor.  There, we could sit and eat and read/pray/journal and watch the boats go by.  It was such a pleasant way to start the days!  After our short time in HK we were off to Shanghai!  Post to come soon :)
