It's a pretty hot day, we visited Admiralty, Causeway Bay and the Wan Chai shopping area. The whole area is full of huge buildings and shops of all kinds.

Then we go to the area of Central and Sheung Wan to visit the Man Mo Temple, at first we find it hard to find but worth it. It is located at the corner of Hollywood Road and Ladder Street. It is one of the oldest temples, dedicated to the gods Man and Mo, its interior leaves you speechless. Hundreds of incense spirals hanging from the ceiling. This temple is part of a complex that also includes the Lit Shing Kung and Kung Sor areas. Indispensable.

We take a double-decker bus and head to Stanley Village, the road is quite winding, the green areas are starting to get wider. You can see luxurious mansions. This area is very quiet and the sea helps. Like anywhere in Asia there is a shopping centre. In the walk to the pier we see very curious things like a woman walking her dog in a baby carriage.
