8th July 2007, Hong Kong

We had breakfast at hotel restaurant. As I mentioned in my previous post, we stayed at Dorsett SEAVIEW Hotel, but I only managed to find the seaview from the restaurant in betweens the building. So kelian, the hotel should consider to change the name.

After the breakfast, we took MTR to Tung Chung Station and then took a bus to Ngong Ping.

Look! The BIG buddha statue.

AND look at the staircases! OMG!

Turned to look at CCW, talked to him with my eyes.

"Do you think we should climb up to the top?"

Ccw replied me verbally: "Well, we are not neccssary to go up to the top. We can just take some photos around."

Me: "Hee...ok, let's go"

So, we walked up the staircases slow and steady while taking photos.
Actually, it is not that difficult to go up, but you just cant avoid from sweating. Luckily, it is windy up there. ;p
View from top.


Yeap, the thought of "since we were halfway up there, why not climb to the top" keep us moving forwards.


Then, we took the bas back to the bus station. The next stop would be Lantau Link Visitor Centre and Viewing Platform where we can get a good view of Tsing Ma Bridge.

Unluckily we got on the wrong bus. Uncle Bus told us to get down the bus at a condominium where we can view the bridge. He also told us there will be another bus take us out from there in 15 minutes. We only spent like 3 minutes to finish taking photos of the bridge.

We decided not to waste time waiting for the next bus and hired a taxi to send us to the tram station to go up to The Peak. Mr Taxi has a pet bird inside the taxi, it sang all the way to the tram station. And that ride costs us HK$250 (including the toll fee)! $.$

Anyway, let's move on to The Peak.

Day view of Hong Kong from the peak.


Next, Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum. All the wax in the museum looks real, especially the eyes. But there is this special one, Brad Pitt. He looked bitter!
Worst of all, ccw told everyone HOW unwilling Brad Pitt was when taking photo with me. HMPH! Even wax also does not like me :(

But I do not care. Andy Lau is more important. ;p
Hong Kong trip would not be completed without a photo with Andy Lau even though he is just a wax. There are a lot of other celebrities, but I choose to publish ccw's and my idol here only.

At night, we visited Causeway Bay. We accidently came across this cafe called Mak's Noodle (麥奀雲吞麵世家). It sells very yummy wonton noodles and also congee!!!!!! Still not sure how to pronounce the second chinese character of the shop name, but that gives you the idea that the portion serve is not big. We ordered 2 bowls of wonton noodles and then another bowl of yacht congee.

Miss the wonton noodle.

We continued to look see look see, there are many shopping malls around.

Before we went back to the hotel, we bought some mantis prawn at Temple Street.
HK$38. Hee...somehow I think they look like siu kiong (crockroach)! ;p

Lastly, let me show you the hotel room.

It is small, the width of the room is enough for a queen size bed and a space enough for a person to move around. It implies that land is expensive in Hong Kong! 'x'

End of Day 5.
