Merry Christmas from Hong Kong!

It is Christmastime in Hong Kong! Last weekend we decided to take a little trip into Shenzhen (just over the border) to do a little shopping. The train ride takes about 40 minutes from Hong Kong. After passing through immigration, the LoWu shopping center is right outside the train station.

Later, back in Hong Kong, we walked along the waterfront on the Kowloon side to admire the giant Santas and other decorations that cover the sides of many skyscrapers.
