Hong Kong Day 5 & 6 & 7
Day 5 ~~~~~> Stanley Market + Macau
Picture of Stanley Market.
After that we took a Ferry to Macau (southern island). Transport was free in Macau, with the many shuttle buses bringing you to visit their Casinos. We took this one to the famous Venetian style one. Very pretty place.
They even have ppl rowing boat in the river. Makes me want to visit Venice someday =)
Performers.. *zoom in to look at the feet* =P
Pretty Moet Chandon bar for wine drinking~
Took shuttle bus to visit the northern island casinos..
They are heavily decorated with lights.
Ate some portugese egg tarts..
This is the Sao Paulo monument. This wall is the only piece left behind after the building was destroyed during war time i tink..
Caught a fountain performance outside Wynn accidentally, on our way back..
The nxt day was the much awaited Disney day!
Had a nice breakfast at this chinese dim sum restaurant before heading to Disneyland at Lantau island. They serve dim sum in push carts and here we tried the tastiest mango pudding and Gui Ling Gao.
One cute little shop at an MTR station.
Now its Disney time!!!
Took the disney train..
Bought the tickets.. HK$295
At the entrance..
We took the mini-train round the place and decided to start from the other end of Disneyland..
First ride.. The cute honeypot ride to get to know a day in Pooh's life~
Picture of us in honeypot..
Watched an interesting 3-D Donald animation.. so cute..
And after the animation we quickly rushed over to catch the disney parade.. Only happens once a day!
Little mickey toy.. walking about.. caught Ellen's attention..
Pretty balloons..
Taking photo with Goofy n Pluto.. This two had the shortest queue..
Learning how to draw a disney character.. As it is halloween period.. They taught us how to draw a halloween character.. I forgot the name..
Exciting ride in the space galaxy..
Lion King story..
Beautiful castle.. The lightings kept changing colour..
And here comes the Halloween parade at nite... haha.. where the ghostly and pumpkin characters roam the streets..
And they refuse to give me a soft-toy.. =(
Fireworks.. Before disneyland close for the day.. Think the fireworks lasted like 20 mins.. Spectacular!
Well it was too crowded after the fireworks end as everyone try to make their way out to take the train.. Hence we decided to loiter awhile more in the shops to avoid the crowd..
Mickey fountain with lights..
Bye bye Disneyland! Woah we bought so many things...
Cute presents..
The last day begins with..
KFC breakfast! Nearly missed the breakfast time..
Took a pic of the dark tiny corridor leading to our hostel.
Our room for 5 nites...
Interesting poster at a food court..
We took the airport express on our return journey to the airport.. and I was rather impressed by this.. A neat row of trolleys awaiting outside the MTR's door.. For us to put our luggage on and push into the airport.. So considerate of them. They had someone to line up the trolleys after every train depart..
Hong Kong Day 3 & 4
Its the Ocean Park on Day 3~
Bought the tickets at Admirlty MTR station and got onto the Ocean Park bus at the bus interchange there.
Its melody with Mr. Seal~
A basket full of cute little penguins that I decided to bring two home~
There are a number of exciting rides in the ocean park but we decided that we are not in the mood for over-excitement.. Hence we didn't take those rides but rather explore around the park and take pictures instead..
Taking picture with cute Miss pumpkin and stealing a sweet from her basket afterwards =P
FOUR rows of cable cars!!! To transport visitors from the highland areas to the lowlands n vice versa~
We left the Ocean Park in the late afternoon and head towards The Peak. We had to walk to the Peak Tram Station from Central MTR and that took us quite sometime due to the ups and downs in order to reach the Tram station. Was stunned by the super long queue to get the peak tram tickets. But luckily there was an express ticket station for those that buy the Madam Tussauds tickets together.
Waiting for arrival of the Peak Tram.
UFO spotted flying across the sky while going up to the peak in the tram! :O
Pretty little ice-cream shop at the Peak.
Night scene of the busy Hong Kong Victoria Harbour. Had a hard time getting out of the Peak Tram building and nearly had to pay a fee for going up to the rooftop for the nite scene!
After taking in the nite scene, we went to visit Madam Tussauds.
This was supposed to be Ayumi.. haha
Fun photo~ Spot me!
We took the Star Ferry and had a walk at the Avenue of Stars again. This time without the wind and rain..
Night scene of Hong Kong Island. It was amazing that they have so many many many tall buildings that several panoramic shots were needed to get the whole stretch in.
Day 4 was spent visiting Po Lin Buddha and the quiet fishing village of Tai-O.
Took the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. As it was a holiday, the queues here were simply LONG~ Had to queue to buy tic and queue again to get on the cable car. But luckily again, we were quite good at this and managed to save some time. *wink* This cable car is very spacious and the view is fantastic!
View of the river delta with tiny ppl down there dunno doing wat..
Nice little touristy village up there after alighting from Ngong Ping 360.
Picture taking at one of the many cardboards.
Yummy vegetarian meal after climbing up and down the long flight of steps to visit the Po Lin Buddha.
With free flow rice! Not free flow la.. but rather one big pot, too much for us to finish..
This little tag was on the table, reminding us to be a good person =)
Sneaking up on meow meow taking a nap in the temple.
After which we took a bus to Tai-O. The ride was really bumpy.
Old notes on display. Notice the chinese words..
Uncle selling dried fish, freshly plucked from the net!
LH taking an artistic picture.. "Building beyond the net"
Roadside stall selling grilled mussels.
Tried this yummy dou fu hua from this stall, recommended by another blog. So traditional, its from a wooden bucket!
They sell black sesame paste too.. Yummy as well. We saw the neighbouring table mixing the two up to eat together. So we decided to try the same too~
The black sesame paste's sweetness compliments the dou fu hua's blandness. Just nice~
Sighted a huge fallen tree at one corner of the village. See how big the tree is, compared to Huiyi.. =P
Took this at Tung Chung MTR station. mannings == guardian!
There's an outlet shopping mall here and we did some shopping before heading back to Mongkok. The stuffs were cheaper but sadly no size for LH who wanna buy shoes. Saw this nice Porsche design Adidas shoe but no size =(
