Chinese cities look good at night. Even the provincial towns, we've noticed, are often glamorous, bathed in neon and digital light shows, with giant glowing Chinese characters cutting the darkness. Neon, sadly a near-dead form in New York City these days (Times Square notwithstanding), is still popular here.
The glitziest of all is Hong Kong. We first saw Hong Kong by night, and we were struck by how atmospheric it was - the dramatic landscape and architecture looming in shadows while the lights bring bright colors to the streets. Here's a sample (the second-from-last and third-from-last pics are by Rachel).
The very best sight - one of the best things I've ever seen - is the view of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak at night. Sadly, our fantastic little camera couldn't really capture the scene, but here's a good picture from Wikipedia.
More of our own Hong Kong photos here.
