iRobot Hong Kong

iRobot’s Hong Kong office is located on the 11th floor of this building.  We spent the morning of our last day here giving another round of presentations and meeting with employees.  By mid-afternoon, Alison Dean (our CFO) and I were finished for the day and set out to enjoy some sightseeing. Our first stop was the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

I clowned around with an exterior art installation before entering the museum.  A special exhibit of the wood sculptures of Tong King-sum was the highlight of my visit and I only wish that photography had been permitted inside.  Next we boarded the Star Ferry for a quick transit of Victoria Harbor and then walked to the Peak Tram station. On the way we paused to watch as workers added the final car to the new Hong Kong Observation Wheel.

The Peak Tramway is a funicular (cable) railway that carries tourist and residents to the upper levels of Hong Kong Island terminating at Victoria Peak which offers a commanding view of the harbor and skyscrapers.

After enjoying our first casual dinner of the week while still on Victoria Peak we returned to Kowloon where we caught the tail end of the famous light show and I grabbed a parting shot of the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower.
