21 December 2014. Last day before the night flight

I packed, checked out and took my bag to the Central check in to get of of it. Then I set off back to Kowloon, repeating and expanding upon yesterday's tour. I went up to Mong Kok and had a look at the various market streets off Nathan Road. I gradually walked back towards the harbour, passing the Yau Mau Tei theatre on the way. It looked worth a visit on a future holiday. Then I was back in the Gascoigne Road area and I spent some time visiting the large Tin Hau Temple, which was thick with smoke.

Carrying on down, I went past the King George V Memorial Park. It seemed a bit incongruous in this very Chinese part of Hong Kong; and also a little sad and cramped. On a larger scale is the Kowloon Park. The border flowers looked splendid in the sunlight.

I was attracted by the noise of drums. Investigations led me to a children's martial arts festival.

I took the ferry across to Wan Chai and decided to see if I could find the Cricket Club. I started off going past the race track, reached via a long pedestrian subway, which was sheltering about a dozen homeless in a strange cardboard shanty habitation. The walk from the race track was all uphill and at a certain point I could see the cricket club was still a good way off and I called it a day and decided to head for the airport. To be resumed!
