Boat People in Hong Kong

One of the popular tourist attractions is found in the harbor. For many decaades there has been a group of people that prefer to live on boats. In the past they mostly made thier livings by fishing, but now many of them take tourists on these very old boats to see where the "boat people" live. I believe the boats are called sampans.


From Hong Kong we flew into Guilin. This picture is taken from the airport. It seems that the palm tree is a kind of symbol for Guilin. We saw stainless steel "palm trees" on the roads leading into and out of Guilin.
