Who said that this would be the largest outdoor seated buddha?..

One fine day in Hongkong
At the Peak - Hong Kong

At the Peak

Hong Kong and Macau are both in South China. Macau was ruled by Portugal from 1557, and Hong Kong became a British colony in 1842. Both were returned to China in the 1990s, but have separate economic and political structures from the rest of the country.

HONG KONG…The Place be…

Hong Kong is Hong Kong. They said the shopping haven in Asia.

We had only 2 nights and 1 whole day in Hong Kong to stroll.

After checking in at the Royal Pacific Hotel at 6:30 PM and got a short rest, we walked along Canton Road then to Nathan Road heading the Avenue of Stars and have dinner.
Then we took a cab bound to the night market at Temple Street.

The next morning, I was ready to explore Hong Kong and Lantau Island for only 1 day.

We took MTR at the Jordan Station in Nathan Road and alighted at the Central Station in Hong Kong Island. We walked for about 20 minutes reaching the Peak Tram Station.

Tram ticket cost 33 HKD (return ticket-adult) and 15 HKD (return ticket-child). Riding the Peak tram up an almost 45-degree angle to the tallest point on Hong Kong Island was a great experience. It’s my first time. There are a number of lookout points, including the Peak Circle Walk and the Lugard Road Lookout.

From the Peak Tram we’re backed at the Central Station and got ticket of MTR Tung Chung Line to reach the Huge Seated Buddha in Ngong Ping Village and Disneyland located in Lantau Island.

From the MTR Tung Chung Station we walked to the Ngong Ping Cable Car. Cable Car ticket cost 88HKD (return). Going to the house of the world’s tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha would

take 25 minutes via cable car or 50 minutes back and forth ride.

At 3:30 PM we’re on the Sunny Bay Station, a connecting MTR station, going to Disneyland. It’s nice to be young and child again. (he he he )

We came late . . . really; very late… we only saw the last part of Parade. I’ve nothing to say more about Disneyland just see the pictures. TIP: to go to Disneyland bring your child or children for more enjoyable and thrilling experience and adventure on the rides and attractions, because next time I will bring mine. Disneyland ticket costs 350 HKD (adult – peak season) and 250 HKD (children – peak season) Then we returned to Kowloon Island, in our hotel, to have our last dinner in Hong Kong. We negotiated the hotel transfer service for 130HKD per person. We checked out the Hotel as early as 7:00 AM the next morning (Tuesday) and at 7:45 AM we’re in the bus service bound to the Hong Kong International Airport. Our departure was 11:00 AM and arrived at the NAIA exactly 1:00 PM.

To explore other country is such a nice and great experience which I can treasure for the rest of my life. I really love to travel and can’t wait for my next journey in October. (he he he)

Thank God!
