Book fair.

So HK is now having a book fair. I didnt intent to go actually because I still have 4 unread books but due to unforseen circumstances, I went anyway. I am not sure when it is ending.

There are so many people going to the fair that there is a long queue outside the exhibition hall.





According to my estimation, this is only 1/10 of the whole queue.








And the queue continues......................






However, I must say that it is a rather smooth queue because the crowd is moving constantly with very occasional stops (Only about 5 minutes or less).






So you will need a 10HKD ticket to enter.....




This is Hall 1 if I remember correctly. There are....lots of books and more books, both in chinese and english. There is also a area for christian books and another area for buddhist books. There are even booths that sells pictures of pop stars, snacks, stamps, souvenirs.....


I spent about 2 hours in Hall 1.


Hall 2. This Hall is less books, more stationaries and some other office equipments. I spent about 1 hour inside here.
Overall I would say if you are a love chinese books, the book fair would be quite an exciting trip. There are also alot of english books but I feel that it is not enough.
