That's smog. Not precipitation.

This is the view from the funicular as we climbed the hillside to the peak. Rising higher and higher above the Hong Kong island's towering skyscrapers, we could see Kowloon on the otherside of the harbour. Our hotel, the Hotel Nikko is on the point opposite, a little over midway up the photo, and about halfway across the photo from the left. We paid 30 cents to take a ferry across the harbour and maybe 80 cents to take a subway back. They had every kind of mass transit and aside from cabs, they were all super cheap.
