Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car, Hong Kong

If you want to see Lantau Island’s  Tian Tan Buddha,  you have two options – travel up the winding mountain access road, or take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car.  We took land route on the way up, and braved the cable car on the way down.  During the descent, I distracted myself from our impending doom by refusing to remove my eyes from the viewfinder of my camera.  (Why yes, I do have a slight problem with being suspended by nothing but a cable over a very significant drop – what gave it away?)

Attendants light the giant coils of incense in the Man Mo Temple in Hollywood Road, Hong Kong.  The incense coils are left by the devout to gain the attention of the gods.

Man and Seats, Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

The section of seats below our box at the Sha Tin Racecourse was mostly deserted, apart from this punter intently studying the form guide.  I don’t think he even looked up to watch the races.
