We want to see more but comfortable. The 2-story tram is a good way, the price is just HK$ 2.30 and it doesn't matter which way or how far you go. From the top deck the view is excellent towards the traffic, the small streets on the side and the sliding by buildings. Direction ' Happy Valley ', the horse race track, we hope it is a happy visit for all who place a bet. We get off at Times Square in Causeway Bay. The shopping palace is ultra modern and has everything you might want to buy and more. But just around the corner we are back in the tiny alleys and their shops. Colourful, full of people and very lively and not to forget there are plenty of cars on the street, it stinks. No wonder so many use masks.

We are walking back along the busy streets, admiring the displays in the windows and complaining about the air quality.
Hong Kong is very green, the bays and mountain region in the south provide a high contrast to the city, the quarters Aberdeen, Stanley and the New Territories seem to be on another planet, almost rural.
There is a lot to discover and see again, perhaps next time we will still find places we don't know yet. Good-bye Hong Kong, until then.
