I chose a more surreal way to showcase Hong Kong from my point of view."<strong> </strong>Fung added this tilted view from Lion Rock Hill to the window of an MTR compartment.

<strong>Hungry Ghost Festival: </strong>One recent Surreal HK post focuses on the Hungry Ghost Festival, which takes place in the seventh month of the lunar calender, when spirits are believed to roam the earth. "I went to see a Chinese opera performance and I thought if we 'move' these performers to a completely different environment, like the MTR, it'll be kind of eerie," says Fung.
