Missing Hong Kong

by - July 27, 2013

I really missed Hong Kong. I was browsing through the pages of my blog to see the post which I made right after I went to this amazing country. However, I can’t find it. Arggggg! I know that I had posted pictures in my blog but since I can’t find it, I decided to make a new post.
It was in October of 2006 when I had my Hong Kong tour and it was so great! Tourist will not have a hard time in terms of public transportation because they have several means of transportation. They have the train, buses, ferry boats and cabs. I have tried all these but my ultimate favorite is the ferry boat. It lets you cross from the central going to different places. You won’t get bored because it will only take 5-10 minutes plus it offers a spectacular view of the country specially if you are traveling at night.
To keep the memories alive, I made it a point to capture every moment of my stay there. Here are some of the pictures of great places to visit in Hong Kong.



Avenues of Stars is similar to U.S.A.’s Hollywood. Here you can see the names of famous actors, actresses, singers, and other well known Chinese personalities. At night, you can enjoy the symphony of lights wherein all the buildings displayed different lights, as if the buildings are in harmony with each other. It is similar to an orchestra but as the name implies they used lights instead of music.

I also went to The Peak. The name speaks for itself, as it is the highest point in the land. From here, you can see the entire view of the country. To go their, you need to take the tram which travel in a super high place. The ride was both tiring and exciting and the view of Hong Kong is breath taking.


One of the cheapest ways to tour Hong Kong is by visiting their parks. Here you can see different animals, flowers and plants.


Life underwater is amazing! I felt really in touch with sea creatures when I went to Ocean Park. They have sharks, sea horses and guess what, I saw the real Nemo at Ocean Park. They also have panda bears and dolphins. The sea lion show was nice. I never thought that sea lions were that talented and trainable. The place also offers exciting rides like roller coaster, ferries wheel and a lot more. It was also my first time to ride a cable car and I so love it! I also did Karting. I liked it so much and I’m hoping to do it again.


Of all the lovely places that I visited, my favorite remains to be Disneyland. In the Disney train, I was excited. They say that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. When I went to Disneyland, aside from being super happy, I also felt the child in me. I felt that I was a small kid who was so happy to see the Disney characters. I had my picture taken with my favorite Disney character, Donald Duck. I spent the day by exploring all the rides and watching musical plays. I felt like a professional driver when I tried Autopia. I was also able to explore Tarzan’s house. It was a magical feeling seeing the parade of Disney characters. They end the night with a very beautiful fireworks display. It was the best firework display that I’ve seen. So magical it will surely live you in awe.
Hong Kong is also known for its cheap commodities. Clothes and shoes are really really cheap. I bought so many souvenir clothes as pasalubong for my friends and relatives. As for me, I had the memories of a fantastic country named Hong Kong.
