Before having dinner with my parents, I still got a bit of time to capture some photos in Causeway Bay. I decided to get into the crowd and try to take the photo of the pedestrians. By using a slower shutter speed and with the help of IBIS, I was able to capture this movement.
Hong Kong is a busy city; it is always on the go. If this is your first time in Hong Kong, you will definitely be surprised how fast people move :)

Like many other temples, Chionji Temple is divided into many sections. Unfortunately, the Main Hall was under renovation which we couldn't go in and visit. Other parts of the temples were still opened to the public.
My girlfriend asked me if I will get bored going around these temples and shrines. To be honest, I love exploring these temples and shrines. Each of them is so unique and has its own history. It is so fun to understand the history and motive of each one. So I can proudly tell her that even though I came to Kyoto twice, I still think this city is so fun to explore.

Kyoto Station is so eye catching because of its unique design. I came here multiple times and I was always in a rush that I didn't have time to explore this station.
This futuristic station makes a huge contrast to traditional city like Kyoto. Kyoto Station has everything you need: restaurants, shops, and hotels. I wish there is a station like this nice in Vancouver :D

As we explored deeper in Nanzenji temple., we found out an aqueduct. Compared to its Japanese surroundings, it is actually quite unique.
Because of this unique structure, many people spend a lot of time taking selfies here. We were not surprised as we did it as well :).

When I first stood in fron of Heian Shrine, it reminds me of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It gives me a very calm feeling as it is located at the center of Okazaki Park.
As usual, the center of the shrine is blocked so you can only enter the shrine from the side doors. I believe that the main gate will only be opened during the major festivals.

Shimogamo Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto. It is recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is located in the Tadasu no Mori forest. Some of the trees there are up to 600 years old.
It holds one of the major festivals in Kyoto known as the Kamo Festival.
