Cities at night are one of my favorite times for photography. For now I’m staying in and getting my photography fix by going through photos I’ve taken on past trips, like this beautiful night out in Hong Kong last year.

The daylight was almost completely gone with just a little purple left in the sky. The front of The Peninsula Hotel is usually a dramatic view, but was really fantastic with many red lanterns lighting it up.

It can be easy to focus on what is in front of you in the hustle and bustle. Cities like Hong Kong are all about building towards the sky, and make it fun to take a minute to look up to really appreciate the architecture.

Hong Kong is fantastic. You have to make time to eat all the delicious food as well as take in the many beautiful views of the city!

Sometimes you need to just wander around a new city to discover places like this. We were on our way to find some delicious beverages, but had to stop and take some pics of this colorful stairwell, complete with inspirational quotes in English despite this being in Hong Kong and a tree making the best of a difficult place to put down roots.

Hong Kong is an extremely vertical city, with many opportunities to really test out if you definitely do, or definitely do not have a fear of heights.

Hong Kong is an amazing city by day or by night. There are towering buildings everywhere, and the city really shows them off with a light show every night. Many flock to take in the skyline from across the harbor, but you can also go above the city to the top of Victoria Peak for a birds eye view of everything going on below.
