Star Ferry to Downtown

We took the legendary star ferry to downtown hong kong to see the magic lightshow.

Hong Kong extends over several islands and divided into four areas: Kowloon, New Territory, Hong Kong and "the surrounding islands. From Kowloon side, there is a nice view of skyscrapers touched on Hong Kong island. When the sun goes down, reported most of the skyscrapers, which are office buildings in the daytime. In the evening we went down to see the light show, Symphony of Lights, which starts at. 20:00. Then the buildings even more enlightened and many have cones of light, celebrating over the evening sky. The show can be enjoyed from shore, or you can take the old Star Ferry across the water, where you really get a great view of the lights and city skyline. Star Ferry is an old "institution" as the locals use every day to get back and forth. Of course you can also use the Metro, which only called for the MTR. Star Ferry is so loved by everybody that there was massive protests when the government would raise the ticket price. All believe that the ticket should cost the same all the time - 2.30 HKD. When you go ashore to get downtown, where you go around among all the tall buildings that are super close, and you feel tiny. If you look up, you can only see buildings everywhere. It does not cool as being "fondled" to detail with fine bed - and these days is the Christmas decorated all over. One of the buildings are the headquarters of Bank of China, located next to the HSBC building, which is easy to find. The local has mixed feelings about Bank of China, since the building is contrary bygningspriccipperne from Feng Shui, which is about pure and round shapes. Bank of China was built in negative asymmetric shapes.
