My room at the Ritz-Carlton was on the 108th floor and had great views of Hong Kong.

We had beautiful weather for the final day of our China tour. Today we drove to Hong Kong Island and had an open-air double decker bus tour of the city. Hong Kong has the highest population density in the world, and there’s nowhere to build but up.

After the bus tour, we took the funicular to the top of Victoria Peak, where we had great views of the Kowloon District and Victoria Harbor.

After a brief stop at the Hong Kong Cultural Center, we enjoyed a dim sum lunch at the adjacent Symphony by Jade restaurant.

I visited the Hong Kong Museum of History with its natural history, cultural, archeological and local history galleries. Again, this is a place where I would have liked to have spent more time.
