Hong Kong, not only where my heart belongs but also a the definition of “urban”. Photo by Paul Redican, saying of it: “A wonderful city that despite the dense urban center has loads of forest and secluded Islands and beaches within minutes of this view. This is looking down at Central with The Midlands rising in the background.” (via citiesinfocus, travelhighlights)
