Continuing from yesterday's post with mainly images of high-rise buildings, in this second and final set on Tseung Kwan O, we see fruits and vegetables displayed at a local indoor market, followed by Christmas-themed decorations both outside of and inside one of the modern shopping malls.

Love your scenes of Hong Kong.
The outdoor markets look the same as they did when I last visited in 1971.
The only difference might be the "amounts" of flies that surrounded the
fruit bins of the venders.

The side street (open air) venders were amazing and beautiful when visiting.
Those (same streets), looked a bit frightening after the sun goes down.
(The thieves ally), was off limits to service men and women after dark.

Thanks for the colorful shots.

Thank you JBuckley for looking in on my travelogue and your thoughts. Glad to hear that these images brought back some memories of your time in Hong Kong, last time in 1971 which, by the way, is they year we got married in Hong Kong! I believe this is the first time I see you commenting on one of my tours, so I don't know how much of this HK segment you have seen. The market pictures in today's post are from an indoor market (less flies!) but I did post a series of shots from the Wan Chai market a few days ago, that were from the outside alleys and more representative of the general outdoor markets - and this might very well have been the market you visited. In case you have not seen it, here is the link to that post #199:

A colorful set, Joe. Really nice. Apples come in cozies, number 3?

Umnak Loc: Mount Vernon, Wa.

Love these markets for all the vibrant and fresh colors! I'm looking forward to our farmers markets that are just around the corner in our little part of the world.
#5 really jumps off the screen and those Christmas decorations were fun to see and a very different look/feel from our "Western" ones!

Thank you Barbara, glad you like this colorful set. Yes, that is really quite interesting that these apples were protectively wrapped, normally that gets done with pears or maybe peaches as these are way more vulnerable than apples - they must really treasure these apples there!
