Harbour Views

One can run from Whampoa to West Kowloon without having to cross too many streets. Most of the time, you are on the waterfront or close enough to see the skyline of Hong Kong Island.  


Even on a cloudy day, the views are spectacular.  It is particularly interesting to contrast the views from the east end of the harbour against the views from the west end.  You see pretty much the same buildings but with different perspectives.  

From some angle, one is bigger and taller than the other; from a different angle, it is the opposite. 


Some really tall buildings, and many mountains, are disappearing into the clouds.   

There are fewer people on Canton Road, along the posh shops, than on the waterfront. A young mother is either trying to entertain her child, or simply exercising. 


A lady is shooting something.  

Some people are wondering: who would go on a cruise boat these days?


A man is fishing in the harbour.  There is no way to catch a virus this way, is there?


With so much open space, and relatively few people, it is not difficult to keep your distance from other people, while enjoying your run.
