Experiencing A Rainy Day In Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Day 2 - Rainy Day

A few days before our trip to Hong Kong, we were told to prepare for heavy rain and thunderstorm. We brought along our umbrellas & caps, extra change of clothing and sandals in case we get wet. We thanked God, He answered our prayer for good weather. Even though it did rain the first two days, it was not heavy. Most of the time, it was just light drizzle.

In fact, the umbrellas and caps were mostly used to protect us from the hot sun and not so much the rain throughout our stay in Hong Kong. And it was amazing how our host, Pete knew where to lead us, to avoid the rain, yet able to make progress in our journey. All the walking helped to burn up the calories.

In today's post, I will be sharing some photos of fences and rainy days in Hong Kong.

Our spirits were not dampen by the wet weather. We used the connecting covered ways whenever possible. Most of the high rise buildings were interconnected with covered ways.

There's the market below, an interesting place to visit too.

Can you see the tiny water droplets hanging from the railings?

Everywhere we go, we can't help but noticed the cleanliness of our surrounding.

Healthy plants were not lacking.

The business going on as usual in spite of the rain.

Most of the time, we will be using public transport to move around.

The first day we arrived in Hong Kong, Pete gave us each an Octopus card, a smart card which can be used for all public transports e.g. bus, MTR, most convenience stores, etc.

Approaching a MTR station.

It was easier for us to travel by public transport since there were 10 of us. From our experience the public transport was very efficient, convenient, usually on time and the trips were very frequents.

Passengers queued up to board the bus.

In this densely populated place, every available space being put to good use.

These photos were taken from a moving public bus.

Linking to Good Fences.

You heavens above, rain down my righteousness;

let the clouds shower it down.

Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up,

let righteousness flourish with it; I the LORD, have created it.

(Isaiah 45:8, New International Version-NIV)
