Another opportunity for pictures from a pedestrian overpass.

As a city planning note - the only structures to cross the roads in Hong Kong are pedestrian overpasses. Near as I could tell, no buildings were allowed to build causeways over the roads, at any height. No doubt this policy was made deliberately by the locals, and I think it's one that's helped keep the city livable. Otherwise, by now, every street would just be a tunnel beneath towering monoliths in the city.
