Hong Kong

After Pingan, I spent a day in Shenzhen before leaving China and crossing the border into Hong Kong.  Hong Kong was the most diverse city I had seen in Asia, with people from all over the globe walking the streets. I stayed in the Chunking Mansion, which, contrary to the name, was an expensive and tiny room that I shared with cockroaches. Like every other city I visited, most of my time was spent exploring the streets, on foot and on a skateboard. 

The most amazing skyline I have ever seen.

Pingan

After an expensive taxi ride, I arrived in the small village of Pingan, which is known for its terraced rice fields. They are a pretty stunning feat of agricultural engineering.
