When I used to think about Hong Kong, what came to mind
were high rise buildings and crowds of people.
Yes, there are plenty of both of those but there is also a lot of VERY
beautiful scenery. We were treated to
these sights by Ping and Phyllis. Ping
has only been in Hong Kong for a few months.
She moved there to join her husband, Hongjie, who left about ten months
ago to begin his research and teaching at Hong Kong Baptist University. They were part of our church for about 12
years and we miss them dearly. Phyllis
completed her Master’s degree while in Chicago and has been back in her
hometown for a number of years. It was
great to see her again! Such reunions
have been the highlight of our trip. We
got to see where Phyllis teaches and carries on important work. Ping took us to the university where she is
working, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. It has to be one of the most beautiful
campuses I’ve ever seen with great views of the bay below from almost every
point on campus. The next day we went up
to the top of Hong Kong Island which yields fantastic views of the city and the
water below. We also visited some nice beaches. Our ride to the airport was also filled with
views of peaks, valleys, and bays. Hong
Kong is a beautiful place with great public transportation, lots to see and do,
and the home of some dear friends. A great place to visit on a sabbatical journey!
