Day 4: Exploring Wan Chai and Repulse Bay

We spent the morning and early afternoon traveling and exploring the southern portion of Wan Chai.  Our first stop was the top of Victoria Peak, the highest point in Hong Kong.  We took a couple of group pictures of the CSU group (the Swiss, Japanese, and American Trombone groups were also there) and played on of our songs while being video recorded.

After this, we went to a Buddhist temple in Repulse Bay known as Kwun Yam.  There is a beautiful golden Buddha statue as well and several wonderful lion and dragon statues.

After this we went to the Stanley pier/market, where we explored the shopping center.  The scenery was wonderful and seeing something like a mall brought the U.S. and Hong Kong closer together.

On our way back to the hotel to prepare for the afternoon's conference activities, we passed by multiple estates owned by the richest people in Hong Kong.  It was interesting to see just how large these houses are and the multitude of vehicles they own.

The afternoon's activities at the conference centered around rehearsals for our concert on Saturday.  I am extremely excited for this, as it is the central point of our trip here.
