Joe in Hong Kong





















On a recent trip to China I spent an afternoon exploring sections of Hong Kong that I had not visited before.




















I headed out from the hotel toward Man Mo Temple, a Buddhist temple tucked away in a busy part of the city. I think it was built in the 1850s.




















Inside, the temple was filled with large hanging coils of incense.
































Near the front of the temple.




















After having a drink in the SoHo neighborhood I took the subway to the Wan Chai area of Hong Kong Island and ate dinner at Two Hundred Restaurant, serving excellent Thai and Vietnamese food. I had Tom Yum soup and Tofu Noodles Kee Mao and a Singha beer.
