Hong Kong -- A study in contrasts

Here we are -- Hong Kong Harbor on a sunny spring day!  We docked right in the middle of this bustling city -- so modern with skyscrapers for as far as one could see and around every turn. We had a great tour of old temples and historic buildings in the New Territories.  The picture below is of ancient Chinese ceramics that lined a rooftop of an ancient home in the middle of a crowded suburb of 1960's style apartment buildings.  We finished up the day with a ride on the Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island and Peking Duck at the Mandarin Oriental.
