In Hong Kong harbour, more than 10,000 people live on sampans - and some of them have never stepped on land!! One afternoon we took a little tour around the harbour on one of the boats and saw a whole other side of life in this busy city. Our driver used to be a fisherman but he can't make a living doing that anymore so a group of them have formed an association that works with the tourist board to offer boat tours. You see everything on these boats, especially the bigger ones. There are lines of laundry drying, people cooking, men fixing stuff, children playing - even saw some dogs! I'm so glad we got off the street and out of the hustle and bustle downtown to experience this little snippet of life on the other side of the pier. I'd do this again in a heartbeat! 
Great photos Crystal! Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an interesting life that would be... especially with a dog??!?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your trip with us - I love the photos!
Oh Love the photos and it really is a bit different on other islands isn't it. We went to Chueng Chow island and did the same kind of tour. Glad you had fun on your trip. Can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteWow, so cool! We got your postcards today and was wanting to know more about your Sampan Tour! It sounds so neat!
