Hong Kong
Hong Kong consists mainly of the mainland city of Kowloon and Victoria on Hong Kong Island. The latter is also home to the impressive skyline of Hong Kong, almost the entire waterfront is taken up by skyscrapers.
The south of Hong Kong Island is quite different from the rest of Hong Kong. It has a “southern”, more carefree, almost a holiday atmosphere. To the south is the district of Tsim Sha Tsui.
Due to its proximity to the waterfront and the good accessibility to the subway for visitors, this is quite a good location for the hotel.Across Kowloon, Nathan Road forms the main artery in a north-south direction.
Especially at night, the street offers an almost eerie spectacle of neon signs. Above the city of Hong Kong you have a wonderful view of the town and the harbour area. The skyscrapers form the skyline of Hong Kong.
The eighties are the beginning of a wild construction boom in Hong Kong. The high-rise buildings are scaffolded with scaffolding made of bamboo poles. A strange sight for European eyes. The high-rises will be built in a construction period of a few months.
An unmistakable army of workers is bustling on the construction sites. Many construction workers and unskilled workers from China are hired as guest workers. The workers spend the night on the construction sites in the unfinished apartments and in the basements. Often up to 10 people share a small room of 10 square meters.
