A Hong Kong Photo Tour
Written by Jaillan Yehia
East meets West, British order overlaid on Chinese culture, perpetually expanding upwards into the sky and outwards into the ocean. Grab an eyeful of the confluence of capitalism, colonialism and communism on this photo tour to one of the most densely populated corners of the planet, the Cantonese for ‘fragrant harbour’ – Hong Kong…
There may be no Star Ferry, Victoria Peak or Peninsula Hotel in this Hong Kong Photo Tour; on my second trip to the Pearl of the Orient I decided to simply soak up and snap Hong Kong’s street life.

Love these! in the process of editing all my Hong Kong photo’s at the moment – but an awful lot of them are really blurry night shots!

That’s frustrating, night shots are so tricky! On this trip I was specifically there to take photos for a job but it rained almost the whole time I was there and I didn’t get a minute of blue sky so I had to try and work around that and I think the results are ok but I always feel frustrated when I look at them, I guess we are our own worst critics!

It’s like taking a walk through the city streets with you. Very nice! I hope to visit Hong Kong one day. 🙂

Wow Jai! I bet there’s no shortage of things to photograph there! You got some really great shots! I teach art to kids, and 80% of my students are from China, so I’ll have to go one day to see it all for myself!

Thanks Andrea – I was actually a bit disappointed with the weather, sadly it was overcast and rainy most of the time I was there but luckily Hong Kong is so vibrant and the signage and stuff is so cool, it is just a feast for the eyes even in the rain!
