View from Hotel
The view from my hotel room of the Western District. Although this district is commonly regarded as less built up / less modern than other parts of the island (e.g., Central, Causeway Bay), it nonetheless has many tall apartment buildings.	The view southwest toward Hong Kong's hills.
Lunch
We ate lunch at Tasty Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop in the IFC Mall. I had their house specialty shrimp wonton noodle soup. Shrimp wontons (i.e., no pork involved) are a Hong Kong specialty. This was a good, respectable rendition of the dish, better than most. These wontons were quite good and light, neither too dense nor too large. I wished I ordered a large. The noodles were a bit undercooked, not yet al dente.	I had a mango sago dessert at Honeymoon Dessert (also in IFC Mall), a chain of Hong Kong dessert shops. Very tasty: a big chunk of mango and lots of little clear sago beads sitting in mango juice.
Elsewhere
On a long bridge on the way to Shenzhen, I spotted these acres of floating rafts. No one was on them. I wonder what they're used for. Crab fishing?
