Ingenuity of human achievement: Hoover Dam

Located about 1 hour drive south east of Las Vegas is Hoover Dam. Security is tight at Hoover Dam as there are security checkpoints when you enter the area and you are required to stop your vehicle for security checks. The moment I saw this colossal structure, I was captivated by its engineering marvel. We parked the car at the carpark and got off to explore the dam. Walking along the dam and looking down its sides, I had trouble fathoming the enormity of the concrete walls. It’s a terribly high drop to the waters below and the ability of these concrete walls to hold back the entire expanse of Lake Mead is truly mind boggling. Hoover Dam is truly an ingenuity of human achievement. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is an eclectic mix of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to ride the vintage ‘Dings Dings’, spend a day having fun in Ocean Park, visit the West Kowloon Cultural District and...so much more!
