Aberdeen Tunnel | Hongkong

Aberdeen Tunnel, part of Route 1, is a dual-carriageway tunnel linking Happy Valley and Wong Chuk Hang near Aberdeen on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It shortens the travel time between Wong Chuk Hang and Causeway Bay of the Hong Kong Island. It connects the Wong Chuk Hang Road and Canal Road Flyover in the Hong Kong Island. The toll plaza is at the Wong Chuk Hang end.

Although #Hongkong is a comparatively new city it has a long history marked by the many villages in the territory.
One of them is Lei Yue Mun, a small speck on the coast east of Yau Tong.
The village is known for its seafood restaurants, its promenade with beautiful views of the city, and its Tin Hau Temple which was built to safeguard seamen.
The settlement is also next to one of Hong Kong's oldest quarries, telling a tale of Hong Kong's past as a mining city.

Wer die #IP-Adressen kontrolliert, kontrolliert die globale Kommunikation im Netz: Seit Jahren nun schon klagt ein privater IP-#Adresshändler aus #Hongkong gezielt gegen die IP-Vergabestellen.

Wenn der Adresshändler aus Hongkong Erfolg hat, könnte damit das gesamte bestehende und seit Jahrzehnten existierende System der IP-Adressvergabe in Frage gestellt werden - mit gravierenden Folgen für die Verlässlichkeit und Verfügbarkeit von digitalen Diensten:

Lion Rock is an iconic mountain in #Hongkong, with the shape of a lying lion. Often the name is used to talk about the hard working and persevering mentality of locals, also coined as "Lion Rock Spirit".
It rises up behind the dense housing estates of #Kowloon and watches over the city.
The mountain range that Lion Rock is a part of separates the New Territories from the Kowloon peninsula, and is host to many monkeys.
At the same time, because it is so easily accessible it is a very popular hiking location and of course offers great views. But the steep cliffs are not for the faint of heart and the elevation should not be underestimated, particularly during summer.
