Protesters block the main road to the financial Central district in Hong Kong September 29, 2014. Hong Kong democracy protesters defied volleys of tear gas and police baton charges to stand firm in the center of the global financial hub on Monday, one of the biggest political challenges for Beijing since the Tiananmen Square crackdown 25 years ago.
It's the second day of major protests in Hong Kong, and the crowds in Hong Kong's central business district are unreal.

Here's a more recent photo from the FT's Josh Noble, showing how huge the crowds are.
