My dreams are to live wealthy, becoming rich, making money online with internet marketing, internet business, and Entrepreneurship altogether.
Life is about finding your dream, and working towards that dream.
Ok I actually dug up some videos that I’ve missed out when I scanned through some of the photos. Some photos taken were really bad, videos were bad too. But I’ve gotten these 2 videos which are both funny and entertaining.
This was taken while we were waiting at Prudential Hotel. My friend wore a shirt that he’d has bought, so its un washed, with some hair sticking on it.
The other day I was at the SOGO shopping center in Causeway (Can’t remember… hmm). The basement were packed with female shoppers because that was the last day of Thankyou Day or something like that.
This is my last post with some pictures of this and that.
I think we had a Tim Sum Lunch at one of the restaurants, and also went to Causeway Bay for dessert. It was quite strange when we were at Causeway Bay because there were not many public toilets in the shopping malls. So in order to sit down to rest our feet and get a toilet break, we went to have dessert. I took a picture of the MTR as well, because there were many many people.
Before reaching Causeway Bay, we travelled on the MTR, and needed to changed our trip. I was shock because I haven’t seen this in my own train transport system, with so many heads. As I was tall enough, I could get a view… and then I snapped a picture of it.
This is where causeway bay is on google map, with many shopping malls around. I wish I had more time to shop there!
This is the dessert I am talking about. Not bad for the shop’s ambience and a 30 minutes break, which cost around 20.00HKD or $5.00 USD. And remember, all bills and prices in Hong Kong don’t tax on people and consumers, so you pay what you see.
This was the other day where we had lunch at this Tim Sum restaurant. In the middle, it is a dish called Yuan Yang Fried Rice, which symbolises the black and white Yin Yang. It’s kinda of wierd because it’s half sweet and half salty. Before snapping the picture my friend atually ate 2 of the ‘Har Kao’ (Shrimps wrap in flour skin). A nice place to relax and enjoy your meal!
That’s all for the Hong Kong trip. Click the links on the right sidebar column for more of my Hong Kong travel series!
After we “touch down” with the cable car, we went for Food and Shopping ! We bought a few clothes and had a late lunch, or was that an early dinner?
Anyway, just as we were shopping we took some pictures of “Nu Ren Jia” ladies street in English. Here are some of the pictures:
And here:
That street is actually a road with stalls and tents setup for you to shop for a very wide varierty of stuff. Well, that street is mainly for tourists, so beware ! In fact, that street is opened only around 7pm - midnight. Which means in the day time, you won’t get to visit it, and by 630, you’ll see alot of people “building” tents manually. And then they take the tents down.
To get there, alight at Mong Kok station, or “Wang Jiao” in Mandarin.
My last visit for the half day tour was to go up LanTau Island (Da Yu Shan)
To visit this island, we need to take a ferry. The boat routes around the island, travelling pass the airport. They say during this route, you could see Dolphins, especially pinks ones, jumping around. But due to the stormy weather we did not see any of it
Stormy Weather:(
No Dolphins… O and thats the cable cars
At last we arrive here, board a bus, and went up the long winding hill, to visit the great Buddha. This one of the motivation why asians, or in particular Buddhist religions come here, to pray for peace and safety, and to take a look at the majestic statue of the Buddha.
What a big Incense pot!
Before the climb, we had a vegetarian meal that was delicious and healthy. This is a special meal that is provided to every visitor. And then, they say you should exercise after eating… So I went up the steps!
And finally I reach the top ! Great view here.
A closer view of the Buddha statue. This is at least ten storeys high.
After this climb, we walk pass some visitor’s shopping area, and we travelled down to mainland by cable car. Actually there’s a shortcut up. That is to take the cable car up, and it should take us less than 10 minutes. Whereas we took the long way up, at the pier, the ferry route, the bus route. Well it’s worth.
This is the map. We started from top right, travelled to Tai O at the bottom left. Board a bus form there and went to the center of the island.
Back from the cable car, we had our own shopping spree at the Factory outlet at Tung Chung MTR station. Nice shopping mall for spending tourists like me! Big brands at cheap prices…
The second place the tour guide brought us to was Wong Tai Sin temple. I am sure this is a tourist attraction because there were many tourists just like us. Before we arrived here, we actually drove past the Kowloon park, with the guide explaining the history how Kowloon (it means nine dragons in chinese) came about, and the Old Hong Kong International Airport.
If you stood at the Kowloon walled city park and look around you, you’ll see eight hills that stradegically forms a buildup area around the park, and the ninth dragon, was the king himself. (You probably should google more if you are interested.)
For a few moments I was disappointed after see the Old Hong Kong International Airport with just an empty piece of land. I was looking forward because I used to see Hong Kong films with planes flying across rooftops very closely to the housing areas and CBD. Now this is all history.
This is one of the pictures I took outside the temple. I didn’t really went in, because there were alot of burning incense with a thick smoke. Furthermore it was about to rain. So I remained outside.
Lets look at some of the interesting pictures here.
This is Wong Tai Sin’s temple. I suppose it is a taoist temple. To reach here, you can take the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station, which is quite convinient.
You could see at the lower right hand corner of the map, where the old Hong Kong International Airport. It is now an empty land for futher developments, like Casinos and entertainment areas =)
On the second day of my Hong Kong visit, we went with a tour guide coach. She brought us to several places. The first was Hong Kong’s Hall of fame (Xin Guang Da Dao )
I have located the position on google map, where famous actors, directors and people gather and leave their names and a handprint on cement floor tiles. They are people who had contributed to Hong Kong film arts, one way or another. They include Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan and many others (was only interseted in these 2 !)
These are some of the photos taken there:
Me, Bruce Lee’s statue and very strong wind !
Directors @ work
Jackie Chan, our international action movie star
Another reason why you should visit this place because of the scene. From that position, you can have a full view of Hong Kong’s financial CBD area and the sea that separates the 2 islands. This reminds me some of the old Hong Kong movie filmed here.
This is my Hong Kong Trip series with a few posts coming up. I only got hold of these photos after
quite sometimes as my friends were all very busy.
I went there around end of May, touched down on a SIA plane flight of about 4 hours from Singapore, on the 27th May about 6pm.
After getting our luggage, we went to grab some brochures with maps about Hong Kong. (I guess thats the first step anyone does… right ?) Together with my friends, all of us bought an Octopus Card(a stored valued card for buses and trains)
Next, we took a bus from the Hong Kong Changi International Airport Bus Interchange to our hotel, Prudential Hotel in Mong Kok. It took only about 45 minutes, as we expected to be longer, and more crowded due to after office hours.
I had my first meal in Hong Kong at around 8pm, together with my friend’s relatives. This was a Chinese Restaurant at the basement of the hotel, beside the entrance of Jordon MTR station. Do remember this if you wanna give them a visit.
And this was my dinner…yummy
It is located here on the map Both the hotel and the restaurant:
