Hong Kong: city of extremes?

We have seen enough skyline and neonlights of Hong Kong.



The uniqueness of this city is the contrast. It is a skyscraper city
but also boasts a wetland for migratory birds along the East
Asian-Australian Flyway. It has one of the world's busiest ports, but
it has several marine parks with amazing marine lives. You can even
find dolphins in the Hong Kong waters.
Last year some archaeological relics dated back from AD265 were found
underneath a street in Mongkok, which is one of the densest urban spots
on earth.




During my stay there, I have been to many places which have rarely been
mentioned. It is a place beyond expectation or imagination, if you are
willing to travel past the usual skyscrapers and the Victoria harbour.
