China, Hong Kong, not such a nice Wednesday morning for photo shooting, however….
The HK Convention & Exhibition Centre, located in Wan Chai North at the Victoria Harbour. The HKCEC with its vast curtain of glass overlooking the Victoria Harbour on three sides & 40,000-square-metre aluminium roof sculpted to echo a seabird soaring in flight, also referred to as a turtle, is a major landmark on the Hong Kong Island skyline.
Internationally, the HKCEC is known as a world-class convention & exhibition centre & was voted Best Convention & Exhibition Centre in Asia for the 13 times by industry awards in 2016.
The original building was built on reclaimed land off Gloucester Road in 1988. The second phase of the centre, located on an artificial island, was constructed from 1994 to 1997 & another expansion during 2006–2009.
The HKCEC was the backdrop for the Handover Ceremony on 30 June 1997, when the former British Crown Colony was returned to the People's Republic of China & the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established.

China, Beijing, Chinese Ethnic Cultural Park, Prayer Wheel at the Tibetan section.
The park, is located opposite of the Olympic Park & the Olympic Stadium. There are 56 ethnic groups living in the Peoples Republic of China. Each group is extensively presented in the park in his own area, with folkloric groups, houses or even small villages & their way of living.
To visit this area you should count at least for two days, it is worthwhile, the largest area is dedicated to Tibet. The park had been created with focus on detailed regional authenticity & it is almost completely unknown by tourists, even little known by the residents living in Beijing, therefore never really crowded.

The International Finance Centre (abbreviated as IFC) is a skyscraper and integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong's Central District. Together they are the more significant markers of Hong Kong's skyline.

Junk style sightseeing boat "Aqua Luna" (張保仔, "Cheung Po Tsai") with the HKCEC in the background. Despite her "old" or "vintage" appearance, "Aqua Luna" was launched in 2006 and thus only 3 years old at the time the photo was taken.
Side remark - there are many flickr photos that do show Aqua Luna - but even if the name on the bow is clearly readable, many do wrongly identify her as Duk Ling (Hong Kong's other - and real old - junk)

A speedboat of the Hong Kong Police SDUs racing through Victoria Harbour. The SDU (特別任務連, also Flying Tigers - 飛虎隊) is a parmilitary and secretive sub-division of the Police Tactical Unit.
Note: Originally I thought that's one of the special boats purchased for hunting down smugglers, but thanks to the comment below of namakuvictor I stand corrected - it is SDUs.
Shot just after sunset, from Tsimshatsui, in the background the HKCEC (Convention and Exhibition Centre) in Wanchai - extremely blurred due to the panning of the camera.

My entry to the official LEGO competition at HKACG 2015, which is shortlisted and exhibited at HKCEC from 24-28/7. The topic is "Ideal Home", and I created my dream house "S Villa" for me and my wife.
The concept comes from the idea of "inner space". When we talk about home, we think about a structure, but what we really want at home is actually an outdoor space, like a little garden or a light well. The design starts from there, with all the rooms surround it. I place the dining room and bedroom, which require a quieter area, away from the street, with the circulation space near the entrance acting like a buffer zone to insulate noise from outside.
The big black box is my studio, in which you can find my desk and personal theater (as my living room has no TV, and the garden is the main focus). The bottom of this box is recessed to allow a car park area. Going up is the bedroom with toilet, and finally a little small swimming pool on the roof top.
The use of colors also has a reason. It uses black, grey and white as the building color scheme, while it is very colorful inside with the decorations and furniture. The idea is that a building focuses on its massing and lines, while the colors come from our lives. With people, the space is then beautiful.
This minimalistic house is "compatible" with the modular building street, and is certainly one of the most thoughtful buildings I created. A house is simple yet functional and practical, and if it is constructed in reality, it is really a liveable space.
