Today concluded the third city route for the team.  There is just so much to see in this city that it is almost impossible to see everything, but the team is definitely experiencing Hong Kong’s rich and diverse culture. We hope that these tours gave North Metro a better grasp on life in Hong Kong, what the university campuses look like, and how to pray for this city.

I’m telling you, we’ve been going non-stop since the team arrived; so we decided to take them to one of our favorite villages for market shopping, a little down time, and good eats.  Stanley Village is located on the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island and is one of HK’s tourist hot spots.  Now, its quaint village feel definitely appeases the traveler seeking to escape the bustling city life, but you will still find yourself rubbing elbows with locals as you meander through the famous Stanley Market area.  It was a great way to unwind from the busy past couple of days.

The famous Hong Kong Star Ferry. One of the routes takes this from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central (Hong Kong Island side).  The ferry offers tourist an inexpensive and efficient  mode of crossing Victoria Harbour.  There are 12 ferries that operate four routes and service close to 70,000 passengers a day!
