They are everywhere 2008-03-28 05:46:35 Around us, behind us, over us.. skyscrapers are everywhere
, especially on the island. Here is a selection of skyscrapers pics, built for offices or flats, taken by day and by night in various areas of Hong Kong (Wan Chai, Central, Sheung Wan, Tsim Sha Tsui). Enjoy!

Causeway Bay by night 2008-03-26 10:09:11 Here are some pics taken in Causeway
Bay (one of the busiest areas in Hong Kong, famous for shopping and restaurants). It’s always a pleasure to slowly walk in the crowded streets, under the lights, and have a look at small shops in old buildings surrounding huge and neat skyscrapers.
Tram from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay 2008-03-22 12:39:05 First video to be published on hkvibes.com! This is a handmade video taken in the tram between Sheung Wan and Causeway
Bay, showing a few excerpts from the whole trip (total time: around 15 mn shrinken into a few minutes in the following video).
Enjoy!
Sheung Wan: here I am! 2008-03-22 09:32:18 View Larger Map
Sheung Wan is a nice district really close to Central. Besides, the tram makes it just a few minutes away from Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. I would say it’s less “Chinese” than Mong Kok for example, and yet much more “Gwailo” (pmp) than mid-levels of course! More pictures of Sheung Wan to [...]
Welcome back to the City of Life! 2008-03-20 19:01:49 So this is my first post on this new blog 100% dedicated to my random walks in between Hong Kong’s skyscrapers and cha chan tans (pmp).
Here you can expect daily posts about life in Hong Kong along with pics and videos to make you travel far away from the very screen you’re looking at right [...] Read more:Welcome
Lights 2008-03-30 04:46:20 Along Hong Kong’s main streets, there is few difference between day and night time: streets are still boiling of people walking around and, most important, luminosity hardly diminishes when comes dusk. Here they are: the lights of Hong Kong, millions of little coloured suns illuminating the night. Today’s post is a selection of Hong Kong [...] Read more:Lights
Reflections 2008-03-29 07:13:33 What is nice with glass-dressed skyscrapers is when they reflect the surrounding skyscrapers. Here is a selection of five pictures where skyscrapers mirror other skyscrapers. Read more:Reflections
Shanghai: the Bund from day to night 2008-04-05 18:37:15 A nice promenade along the Bund, facing the growing business area of Pudong and it’s worldwide famous “Pearl of Asia” radio and TV tower. Daylight pics are taken down from the Bund and nighttime ones from “Le Bar Rouge”. Enjoy! Read more:Shanghai
Train journeys: a contrasted view 2008-04-05 08:07:26 Shanghai gives you a unique opportunity to try one of the most advanced trains worldwide (the MagLev) as well as the old traditionnal Chinese trains. Here’s a special report on Chinese trains.
The MagLev:
Shanghai is one of the few cities to have a MagLev, along with some others in Germany and Japan. It was inaugurated in [...] Read more:Train
HK food: an insight 2008-04-05 01:00:39 Here are more pictures about HK food. The pictures below mainly come from cha chan tans, where the food is cheap and good. Again, I’ll try to pinyin the meals but please do suggest the correct way of writing it should you know it!
Cheun dan + ao yao do see (usual set feat. egg, sausage [...]
City of life 2008-04-09 00:47:56 Hong Kong well deserves being dubbed as the “City of Life”: from the ongoing noise of coaches along Hennessy Road to the numerous small restaurants hidden in-between two skyscrapers, every inch in this town seems full of vibrant life.
Daily and nightly ongoing traffic in the main Hong Kong corridors:
The non-stop bus rides along Hong Kong [...]

Macau: St Paul’s cathedral ruins 2008-04-19 01:43:46 On the other side of the Pearl River Delta, 40 minutes boat away from Hong Kong, is Macau, the well-known former Portuguese settlement retrocessed in 1999, two years after Hong Kong, and still benefiting from a high degree of autonomy (”One country, two systems”). Apart from casinos, tourists can admire the ruins of St Paul’s [...]
Aberdeen and Chihiro 2008-04-18 07:00:20 When taking the above shot an evening in Aberdeen
(south coast of Hong Kong Island), the similarities with Chihiro’s enlightened boat seemed obvious (see picture below). These boats host two floating restaurants, one of them being the largest in the world (Jumbo floating restaurant, see website here). I bet the view on Aberdeen harbour is [...]
A Better Tomorrow 2008-04-17 02:15:18 I had never heard about this movie before prior to my arrival in Hong Kong, I bought the VCD because the movie director was by John Woo.. and I discovered a pure masterpiece. A Better Tomorrow stars three huge actors (Chow Yun Fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung) performing at their best in a story [...]
