We had our wonderful time at Ocean Park yesterday, therefore some suggested not to go to Disneyland today and yet change it tomorrow. Without arguing much, we all agreed.
Dim Sum, a famous and tradisional breakfast of Hong Kong, a must for our trip. and, 莲香楼 with 80years old, which located Willington St. Central Park (中环威灵顿街160-164号) is place that we going to have our dim sum.
We reached there around 1000 and yet hardly found any seat for 10 persons. It was a norm to share table (搭台)with other actually. However, HK people is so friendly. Even they were in the middle of enjoying their breakfast, they still willing to move to other table and spare a empty table for 10 of us. We were very grateful.
Well, we were hungry and quickly we had ordered food and eat!
Next destination: The longest elevator in the world, Opened oct.1994. It is 800m long and links the Central Districts with the Mid- Levels. It has 29 entry and exit points.
Along to way to there, we come across the morning market. Here, we saw the life of HK people in the morning.
We stopped to have a drink of the famous signature milk tea of the coffee shop, 兰芳园. The milk tea was really smell good, smooth and delicious!
Everyone who read the summit of the mountain will catch a photo, so did we. :)
We have walk passed by buildings and tall buildings and taller buildings.
Hollywood Road was the second road to be built when the colony of Hong Kong was founded, after Queen's Road Central.
Upper Lascar Row, better known as Cat Street(摩羅上街), is a narrow alley in Mid Levels, Hong Kong that runs parallel to Hollywood Road on the north side.
In the past it was a common joke that, if you had something stolen, you were almost certain to find it for sale back in Cat Street.
Now Cat Street is mostly occupied by antique shops, and is a popular destination for tourists.
After this, we splited to two group. One will go to start venue tonight and yet another will continue to walk around. Next to Sheung Wan (上環).
There is a tram station. We definitely took a ride on a tram! A back to time experience. The tram is operated by electric. I don't know how the electric is generated in HK, at least this kind of transportation doesn't cause any pollution.
We had ride about 30 minutes and now we were no way! (Actually we were at the most western part of HK island). To not waste any time, we took bus to Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣) to shop. The rent in the shopping areas of Causeway Bay is ranked the as being one of the most expensive in the world, near that of London's Sloane Street and New York's Fifth Avenue.
Upon reaching, we drop by to a Coca-cola collection shop! Quite a sight! We spent quite some time there and brought some souvenirs.
After that, we walk around the area. This area really a shopping heaven. Plenty and variety of shops are here and there.
We came to this shop - milk specialty. This is one in our list that we need to pay visit and taste the dessert. :)
This was a experience that I prous of myself while shopping in a mall. A foreigner lady (well, I'm foreigner as well) had came to us and asked me how to get to Starbucks. Well, Startbucks in the mall is not a easy place to spot, because it located at a corner and only the entrance show. The body hide inside.
Luckily, my memory and observation didn't fail me. I told her how to get there and even able to tell which floor (am i good or what! Proud! Proud! :P). Yes, she got it and I thought she will treat me a drink then. Well, my hope fall. :)
Here come the Timesquare!
We met at the entrance around 1845. Next stop, eat! Can you see what we had! OK, I purposely enlarge it!
Today is Tuesday. This was what we got after reached the place.
Seem we were here already, we took photos as much as we like. Then we straight back to hostel and had our own activities. What's mine? Ok, I took a shower then sleep! Good night!
