Hong Kong is home: Breathtaking timelapse video shows all sides of city

When Javin Lau first arrived in Hong Kong, he said he felt like he had walked onto a movie set.

And now the Political Studies graduate from Toronto, Canada, has taken his vision of Hong Kong and produced a breathtaking timelapse video of the city.

Titled Hong Kong Is Home and featuring views of the harbour, Kowloon, Central and the New Territories, the video shows both the hectic pace of life in Hong Kong as well as the more tranquil areas.

On his Vimeo page, Javin writes: "It (Hong Kong) was a place that I had only seen on TV as a kid, with its strange red taxis, odd stop lights and driving on the other side of the road.
