One of the must-do things while in Hong Kong is to venture out at night to explore the streets and find a few nice places to look at the city. The Peak is one of the best spots to see Hong Kong's lights come alive at night. Fellow Hong Kong forumer HKT and I did a night-time hike along the narrow streets of Hong Kong's Peak area. To make things interesting, we bumped into Hong Kong's Chief Executive Donald Tsang during our tour.

1. The busy streets of Central District

2. The newly-opened Four Seasons Hotel in the IFC complex.

3. I was playing around with the settings, and here are the results. Notice the Bank of China Tower actually has a light show going on.

8. Some close-ups of 2 IFC, Hong Kong's tallest building :

11. Our first stop was Lugard Road, which wasn't very deserted at all. There were a few other photographers along the open stretch of road that offers a very nice panoramic view of Hong Kong. It was quite windy and cool though up there.
