Hong Kong, a vibrant and full of life city, in each of its crowded streets where you pass or estes, this full of people is impressive the amount of people who live there and live as I am the only foreigner here. So it is seen among Asians, where tradition and modernity are found in a myriad of ways.

Walking through the streets is one of the best ways to absorb the energy of this city, the people are very polite with principles and values and the streets are very clean and orderly with its rules and when you get to the Yick Cheong Building is one of the most exciting destinations.

. since thousands of movies have been filmed here and the famous photos of the airplanes are taken in the middle of these buildings that can measure up to a kilometer high, that is to say 1000 meters high, it is a total madness these buildings and constructions where in 45 meters can perfectly live 8 people a madness and not to mention the rents for this 45 meters can cost about 2500 dollars or about 20mil steem at the current price.

The adventure begins in the heart of the city
Our tour starts in the district of Sheung Wan, where you can see the buildings and their windows, they look like a ranch or a neighborhood in the heights, with their clothes and things in the windows to ventilate or dry.

an area full of history and culture. Leave the urban life behind and immerse yourself in the calm of the traditional markets, I just passed by a photo or two but I'll leave that for another post, like the Sheung Wan market. Between the shelves of fruits and vegetables and the dirty food I say Chinese I have never liked this type of food, I have always disliked it, that's why I call it so and is very economical between 5 to 7 dollars per plate about 50 steem, discover the diversity of spices and flavors that characterize the Chinese cuisine.

The Yick Cheong Building: An iconic destination Finally arriving at the Yick Cheong Building, emblematic and very touristic with people who come to bet heavily playing cards and gambling games and also to fly drones and take pictures and videos for their social networks, an iconic building of Hong Kong architecture. This 1947 building is a perfect example of British colonial architecture surrounded on its sides by other buildings that make an incredible view for its rectangular shape and in the background the master building as I call it and is considered one of the most emblematic buildings in the city.

Despite its historical significance, the Yick Cheong Building is also a popular destination for locals and tourists looking for an authentic experience of life in Hong Kong, as there are easily 2000 families living here in this single residential complex, something never seen before in history, and for me this is a total overcrowding.

to finish a restaurant of western food, Italian or Latin out of the common here, if it seemed to me something expensive also since a typical plate can cost maximum 10 dollars about 130 steem or the international food about 30 to 50 dollars or about 200 to 400 steem the plate depending on what you order some exaggeration of price for a pizza not valee they went crazy and did not warn jajaja said my wife to the Venezuelan.
