Tsim Sha Tsui

Finally made it down to the harbor on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. The area is Tsim Sha Tsui. Lots of great views, restaurants, upscale shopping, and museums amidst more traditional Chinese stores, shops, and services. It is this hybridity that makes Hong Kong such a fascinating place for the casual observer as well as one who is interested in understanding Hong Kong identity.
