Greetings from Hong Kong!

Hong Kong holds a status as a Special Administrative Region of China since 1997. It is a big city - Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are technically a jungle of concrete, metal and glass. High buildings are jutted up to the sky, and sea of people looks like an ant colony.

The Victoria Peak is a place to go to enjoy the scenic Hong Kong Island. The spirit of Beijing 2008 Olympics is in the air - Hong Kong will be co-hosting the equistrian events, so it will be a great time for the citizen of Hong Kong.

But we found Lantau Island serene - the Tian Tan giant Buddha Statue is located in the middle of forest. Located in the Po Lin monastery, this biggest outdoor bronze sitting Buddha statue in the world houses a bone relic of Buddha.

That's it for now!
