Tropical Fishes Packed in Poly Bags

(HONG KONG)

Fondest Memory: Mongkok is famous for its markets. At the Goldfish Market, tropical fish in bright hues dart around playfully amid coral in tanks. The market operates from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. each day. A visit there might just be interesting even if you aren't really a fish enthusiast.

You can take a MTR to reach there, just 5 mins walk from Prince Edward MTR Station.

Century-old tram @ Hong Kong Island

Fondest Memory: The century-old tram runs on tracks and operate only on the northern part of Hong Kong Island. It grow up with Hong Kong. It is a leisurely and inexpensive ride (HK$2 per ride) to see the Hong Kong Island. The tracks is pretty much a line along the curves of the island with just one extra loop to go into the Happy Valley area.

Bang of China Headquarter @ Hong

Kong (CHINA)

Fondest Memory: 369 meters high, 72 floors. It was the tallest building in Hong Kong when completed in 1990. Designed by the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei, BOC is a striking hard-edged asymmetrical structure featuring triangular prisms that create a changing vista as one views it from different sides. Triangular bracing and step-backs are structural adaptations to the high wind loads caused by Hong Kong typhoons. However, the sharp angles violated traditional good feng shui principles and created a major controversy when it was built.

Address: 1 Garden Road (corner Murray Road). 10 mins walk from Admiralty or Central MTR Station.
