A few photos taken in Nathan Road, Hong Kong

in #cityscapephotography6 years ago (edited)

Nathan Road is a street I walked often, since the hotel I stayed was right there.

Located in the Yau Ma Tei area of Hong Kong, it's a very good location for knowing the city. A Metro station nearby gives you access to any other point in Hong Kong quickly and easily (even during the middle of the night, if you want to...)

It was early in the morning and the city was still pretty quiet:

Believe it or not, this was a sunny day. You just can't see the sky for all the pollution.

There are a ton of shops in these streets, selling everything from electronics and smartphones to snacks and dry food.

And of course, one can't avoid bumping into people walking around while looking at their smartphones, a typical sight in Hong Kong.

Yep, there are two ways of walking around in Hong Kong: you either do it like the locals, grab your phone and expect everyone else to move out of your way... or you can do some exercise, slaloming through the Smartphone Zombies.

If you're feeling musical, there's something for you, too. You prefer a flute or a violin?

Or maybe you just want to get behind the wheel of a Nissan GTR and go drifting...?

Whatever you want to do, Hong Kong will deliver. You just need to find it.

Благодарю вас, Светлана! :-)

Nice photos. 😊
A world totaly diferent from mine ...eheheh... mine is just green... green... and green... ahahah 😊

So true! I live in a little town where the highest building is a 2-floor apartment. There are fields of corn and cows eating grass, everywhere... You can imagine my shock when I arrived Hong Kong!

Where did you take the first photo from? From a hotel?
By the way, maximum height for hotels and buildings are only 4 levels in my place.
Great photos..

Yes, you guessed it. It was from the Hotel's elevator. :-)

Realmente é muito poluída... como Macau... mas adoro Hong Kong. Lembro-me sempre de um amigo que mora em Macau quando me disse que a primeira vez que as filhas viram abelhas foi em Portugal.
Gosto imenso das fotos, principalmente da primeira!

Imagino... mas em contraste, há lá muitas cobras e cá, nem por isso.

A very good post from you. Life here is very different from the city I live in and of course I like living in my city more :)

Many thanks! :-D

i know ins and outs fine

You know families go here, right?
