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 =(
