Our last full day in Hong Kong, we found out that China had just changed their visa policy and that we would have to go to the embassy and get ANOTHER visa if we wanted to fly to Shanghai the next day. We discussed it, and quite frankly - we were ready to come home! So we opted to cancel the Shanghai portion of our trip and instead fly straight back to Okinawa (it was only a span of about 36 hours that we cancelled).
We decided to spend our last afternoon down at the Ladies Market - and even though we didn't have anywhere to pack any more "stuff" - we found anything and everything we could have wanted to purchase! FYI - some people's Christmas gifts are coming from Hong Kong :)
Our last night we went to a really great Cantonese restaurant (Jade Garden) - the BEST sweet and sour pork and stir-fried beef (yes, it was really pork and really beef!). Afterwards, we grabbed some pictures of Hong Kong Island's nighttime skyline from the Star Ferry Pier.
Then we had some fun playing with the camera settings ... case in point - "motion":
It was pretty cool that they had that much coordination/cooperation from the building owners and the city:
A random, but very cool, pirate ship:
We watched the light show from the Avenue of Stars and found Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee and Chow Yun-Fat 's stars:
Michael with Bruce Lee:
WHAT A TRIP!!

Hey! Cool pics! My husband and I actually rode on that red Chinese junk boat you have pictured last Christmas Eve and watched the light show while sipping on cocktails! It was really fun and they even had a "Chinese Santa" on the boat!
Hong Kong looks amazing! It looks like y'all did some pretty amazing things! Thank you for sharing your pictures!
