Working traveller Mike Left sent us some snaps from a recent trip to Hong Kong.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the 26th<\/sup> floor of my hotel you can see that the scaffolding is still bamboo. They wrap whole buildings in this incredible material.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The journey to Lantau Island is a must for any first-time visitor to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Underneath the cable car the cockle pickers are busy in Hong Kong Bay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the main attraction on the island is of course the Tian Tan Buddha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Food plays a huge role in everyday life here \u2013 the dim sums are amazing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, there is no question of dining alone at the most popular places. An empty seat is taken by an uninvited stranger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Cantonese love to eat and traditional food shops are scattered everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And if the locals choose the street food scene then you know it\u2019s going to be amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Action town? For sure! And nothing represents Hong Kong action more that the legendary Bruce Lee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pace of life here is hectic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still, you know that old joke about the slow boat to China?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And just for good measure, a female road crew gets busy during the few hours where traffic is marginally reduced.<\/p>\n
