One of my favorite BIG cities. Everything about this place was just so fun and refreshing, so it was hard to pick out tops for for 5 senses, but here it goes!
SIGHT: First seeing the Hong Kong skyline on our first day was breathtaking. I had seen it on postcards and in pictures but actually seeing the dramatic skyline squeezed in the tiny piece of land between the mountains and the harbour was my favorite sight of Hong Kong.
SOUND: As we soared between mountains and up into the clouds on the Ngong Ping cable car the rain started pelting the sides of the car, and the wind whistled through the air vents. It was the sound of flying.
TOUCH: As I browsed the night markets on the last night in HK, I carefully felt each of the purses and watches, searching for quality amongst the lot of fake products, ha. But after time you could start to feel the difference between the various stalls, and I bought a semi-decent new purse!
TASTE: Our adventure to the sushi restaurant guaranteed some new tastes. But I was looking forward to the seafood since I'd heard how fresh it was in HK. Between the eel and squid we sampled, along with tuna, salmon and shrimp, some raw, some cooked, we tasted such a variety of new cuisine. All delicious!
SMELL: As we roamed the Buddhist temples and even strolled through some markets, the fragrant smell of incense filled the air. You could smell the temples before you even got near them, and as you arrived the incense smell was accompanied with heavy smoke from other ceremonial burnings.
