Trip to Hong Kong and Macau | Destination Photographer based in NC

Darren and I spent a month or so in Asia this Fall, and I'm just getting around to blogging the Hong Kong and Macau portion of the trip! I blogged about Kuala Lumpur and Japan earlier, if you would like to check that out!

Darren had to work most of the trip, but we managed to use the weekend to see some sights, which was cool! We met up with our friend Richard who lives in Hong Kong, and he showed us around Hong Kong as well as Macau! He was so awesome to show us around, we had a blast! Hong Kong definitely has one of the most impressive skylines I have ever seen! And of course the food there (especially the Dim Sum) was incredible!
We really enjoyed Macau too, we were able to avoid the casino / touristy areas and venture into the older, lesser-traveled part of town. We sampled lots of yummy local foods (thanks to Richard for letting us know what we were eating)! It was a really fun trip, here are some of my favorite pictures from our adventure:

Enjoying some delicious dim sum, thanks to Richard!

Adventures in Macau, China:



This was such a cool city! I was crazy about the architecture, and the Portugese and Chinese influence, really awesome!






I would love to do some engagement photos in this city!








We stumbled upon a Portugese-inspired food festival!





Hong Kong again:

We had an awesome time buying up some fun camera accessories on Apliu Street in Hong Kong! I definitely want to visit that place again when I have a lot more room in my luggage to bring stuff home!

A fun Vietnamese meal:
