We were so excited to visit Hong Kong, to see first hand the stark contrast of a buzzing, modern cosmopolitan city full of skyscrapers, and the densely populated residential areas of dingy towers and busy markets.
What we didn’t know is just how photogenic it would be, there was something to capture everywhere we looked – street art, bustling markets, sizzling food, dizzying towers. We couldn’t put the camera down.
Here we present some of our best shots – 20 photos that will make you want to visit Hong Kong!
