Hung Hom is just a short distance northeast of Tsim Sha Shui (TST) and is where the train station is now located. In 1974 the station moved from the TST Star Ferry area to Hung Hom because it was just too small. I'm sure I will take at least one photo of the old train station tower at Star Ferry.
The Hotel Metropolis is located in Hung Hom just a short distance from The Tsim Sha Shui Promenade, shown above. It is a great place to walk or run and scenery is beautiful.
As you might expect, walking around Hung Hom and seeing all the places to eat, it doesn't take long before we are sitting down eating some local cuisine. At this little restaurant, maybe 300 sq ft, Jenny had congee and I had jin doi.
This is what jin deui looks like. Crispy on the outside with sesame seeds and soft and chewy inside: love it!
Or some Chinese Medicine!
I took this picture in Hutchison Park then looked closely and saw all of these photographers with some serious cameras.
Serious equipment right? It turns out that these photographers were photographing a migratory bird, named Chinese Fly Catcher. I thought. But when I went on line to check it out, it was a different bird than the one we saw at the park. Anyway, they said that bird would only be in Hong Kong for three days before it migrated.
Back to the hotel in time for the sunset!
The shop next door was the butcher in case you wanted to take some meat home for dinner!
