Tuesday morning, after a vigorous work out in the fantastic exercise facility at the hotel, we walked to the HK zoo and botanical garden. It is all up hill to get there. It is a nice oasis in the middle of the high rise condos and office towers, much smaller than Central Park in NYC. Not the flowering season. Some interesting animals and birds, particularly the cranes and the orangotangs. They also had a fierce endangered North American racoon on displey. Sunny weather today in the 60's. A good walk before our trip to see the Giant Buddha this afternoon.
Getting around by foot is interesting in HK. They keep the pedestrians and the cars separated as much as possible by building a lot of overhead walkways over major streets and connecting the major business centers as well as subway tunnels under the streets or betwen buildings. It is a real maze to figure out but once you figure it out, it is fun getting around.
