HONG KONG - I Love Hong Kong!
It's been a while since we last visited Hong Kong. Thanks to Air Asia for so many promotions in order for us to travel around so many places with Cheap Fares! Now, I can travel anytime to meet my best pal Lily if they having promo fares to Hong Kong, yahoo!
Hong Kong is renowned as the culinary capital of Asia & a shopper's paradise. Wherever you go Hong Kong, there are always good foods everywhere. As for shopping, the most crowded place for shopping are Mongkok & Causeway Bay. If you are looking for outlet mall, Citygate is the one.
Where We Stayed?
We have saved up on accommodation this trip as we stayed at Lily's place! She's staying in Hong Kong Island hence it's very easy for us to travel around by MTR, the MTR station is just 10 minutes walking distance from her home.
Where We Go?
The first day after our dinner, we headed to the most well known entertainment place " Lan Kwai Fong" for a drink.
The next day we had dim sum breakfast with the twins (Lily's niece). Haha. Finally, we got the chance to meet them in person. They both are adorable. Too bad we only have limited time to spend with them.

After breakfast, we went to the Lantau Island, Ngong Ping 360. It's one of the must see attraction in Lantau Island. I still remember our last trip to Lantau Island, we travel there by bus & just to see the giant buddha (Tian Tan Buddha Statue). But now, the place is more developed. You can go there by MTR where is much more convenient compare to last time. And then, you can choose to enjoy the cable car ride on Standard or Crystal Cabin. We had Round Trip (on Crystal Cabin from Tung Chung and Normal Cabin from Ngong Ping @ HK$ 153 per pax.)
