Hong Kong trip

We were at Hong Kong for 3 days in total, and by avoiding disneyland and ocean park, we were able to cover quite a lot of major attractions.

We reached HK at about 11am, and subsequently reached hotel (Royal Park @ ShaTin, lovely room) at 1pm. Lunch was dim sum! Yay happiness! =) We then took a walk at Loi Yan Gai, but because it was raining, I was super grouchy and have absolutely no mood to look at anything!

So we moved on.

Bank of China building by I.M Pei is always featured in TV shows, and seeing it in real is one of the important milestones in this trip.

From here, we went up to the peak, wanting to enjoy the spectacular view of Hong Kong. The journey uphill in on a tram where it is like a 45 degrees mountain scale. But the weather was too bad to see anything, therefore we didnt see any view at all.




I skipped Madame Trussauds because I had already seen it at Shanghai.


It feels like it is drizzling on the peak, but I know it is because the cold air is condensing on us and it feels cool and refreshing.

Nothing can be seen, therefore we left the place and went to Kowloon Tong and then went to Walk of Fame, and managed to catch the 'Light Symphony'.


On second day, we started off with a visit to the museum - Hong Kong Heritage Museum. I am super glad my friend is as interested in museums, or I will have to abandon him for the sake of wanting to indulging in some culture depths.

We then went down to Macau via ferry to look at Da San Ba - The Ruins of St Pauls.

Love it.

Then we had portugese egg tarts and yu dan (fishballs in curry sauce).

We then went down to Lan Kwai Fong for drinks and finger food. Strawberry margarita and chicken fillets. Yum.



Then at the end of the day, when I passed by the Coach flagship store, and was totally enchanted by the facade design. =)






We went back to Loi Yan Gai to shop again, and then tasted the tasty mango ice in Xu Liu Shan.



On the final day, we went down to see the Hong Kong Coliseum in real. And then wanted to visit the nearby Hong Kong Museum of History, but it was closed for the day. So we thought maybe we can go to Lantau for the Ngong Ping 360, but we estimate it will take too long to go to and fro.





Oh, one more photo on the typical housing blocks in Hong Kong.





The entire trip was very tiring, honestly, but I am happy to be able to cover so much within such a short period of trip.
