Bank Of China Tower, Hong Kong, China


Bank Of China Tower
Originally uploaded by Martin Callum.

We have been touring a little more of Hong Kong. Starting with the worlds longest escalator, which runs 800m (half a mile) up from Central Market into the mid-levels of the Hong Kong business district. An interesting ride through some local streets. The heavy rains made for some great views of the side streets. All with their brightly lit signs hanging above their shops.

From here, we passed through the zoo and aviary tucked away in the hillside. A small zoo with some interesting creatures like the Chinese Porcupine, Orangutans, and Jaguars to name a few. Also, some exceptionally colourful birds including Red Ibis, American Flamingo, and Crowned Cranes. We continued our walk into town as the city lights came on. This is our favourite tower, the Bank of China building. As you can see, the lights make a beautiful effect against the sky. *Stub
