Now to show where the food came from ... Hong Kongers love fresh food. Many seafood restaurants let patrons pick what they want to eat from the tanks directly first.

Great photos, remind me of the time I went out there for a day trip.

I imagine that living in those houses on the water would be quite uncomfortable, and especially cold and miserable when in winter.

I always wondered how they get sewerage out there, or does it all go into the water?
