My Third Visit to Hong Kong and I still am fascinated with this city!


 After a Continental Breakfast at eh Xi Hotel ( formerly Minden Hotel) we hit the streets. These lovely women from mainland China offered us a taste of the tin of cookies they stood in line to purchase. The line was HUGE and we just wondered what they  were buying……………..
 The original K 11 Mall in Hong Kong - literally at the end of our street. The concept is to decorate the mall with Chinese artists. The one in Shanghai - fairly new- is owned and operated by Hong Kong - and it was far more artsy- but this was fun!




 Love the names of the restaurants in the K 11 Artt Mall
 Lock your heart away





 Birks I thought were cute
 Tea shop  - very expensive!
 This was called "Helping Hands"
 Our lunch was Seafood Minestrone  soup with a "Dome". Dawn had the Lobster Bisque with a Dome. Very good!
 The Art Galleries and Museums are FREE on Wednesdays in Hong Kong.  We paid an extra 5 Hong Kong dollars  ( the "Senior" discount-- 70 cents Canadian) to see the Special Exhibit of Chinese artists in the 1950s who studied in Paris. Fantastic!!!!

 A grande Hotel we passed


 We met up with Joan from Shanghai Foreign Languages School at the Page One Bookstore on Canton Road. She was in Hong Kong for a Book Fair and Seminar. It was Great to see her one more time.
 Crazy statue in the Mall


 The crowds on the street were unbelievable! And with the 40 +C  weather- exhausting!


 A jewelry store close to our hotel
And, oh, I went back to the salon on Kimberly Road to get my hair "texturized" on top. Very happy with the result- $22.00 Canadian
