	Hong Kong — Brian's Page
		Hong Kong has many things I love about Asian cities: excitement, fashion, chaos, beautiful people, extravagant skyscrapers that light the evening sky, gigantic advertising neon signs and never a dull moment.
		At the same time, Hong Kong lacks so much of what I cherish about Asia: There are no street vendors selling quick and steamy delights, many of the people are too busy making money to be nice, and it ain't cheap.
		Hong Kong, by all means, is a world-class, must-see city and it only gets more grand (and taller) with time.

	Victoria Peak \| Hong Kong Attraction Review
		Getting to “the peak,” as its commonly referred to, includes a scenic ride on a cable-pulled railway car that runs 1.4 km from Central (near Hong Kong Park) up to the high hills of Victoria Peak.
		It’s a quaint-looking car that carries some 120 passengers over 90 times per day, and various versions of the tram have been putting around since 1888.
		But be sure to visit the peak on a clear night, as fog and low-floating clouds sometimes block the best of those Kodak moments.
