Golden Bauhinia Square (金紫荆广场)
September 3rd, 2008 | by jys |We went back to our hotel to put down the things we bought at G2000. At first we didn’t plan to go back but it was really inconvenient carrying such as big and heavy plastic bag (ya, i bought A LOT), so we decided to go back to put down the things and to take a shower as well. It was 12+pm when we headed out again. FL meet up with his college friend who is currently working in HK. At first we hope he can bring us around but then we realized he still not very familiar with HK and had not been to lot’s of places. So instead of bringing us, we actually go sight seeing together with maps on our hands and he took this opportunity to visit these places as well.
After we meet up with him at the MTR station, the first place we visited is this..
It suppose to be near but there was a huge book fair somewhere near there and they blocked some of the way so ended up we took a big big round to get there. We walked for almost 30 minutes under the hot sun to get there and we only spent about 3 minutes there and took 3 pictures.
We planned to go to the Peak at night and FL’s friend told us it is cheaper to get the tickets from the travel agency than to get the tickets at The Peak. Therefore we took the tram (so lazy to walk lar) to the travel agency at Central (中环).
After 10 or 15 minutes, we finally reached our destination. On our way to the travel agency, we passed by this…
FL decided to go try his luck, if win got dono how many millions leh.. hehe..
According to FL’s friend, you strike if you win 4 numbers per row, but not sure how much lar.. So did we win? Of cause not lar, else I probably still in HK shopping!!
Finally we found the travel agency. We asked for the ticket price for The Peak + Madame Tussauds (香港杜莎夫人蜡像馆), Disneyland and Ngong Ping (昂坪), but seems like only the Peak + Madame Tussauds tickets are worth to buy. Original ticket selling HKD 170 but we only bought it for HKD 138!!
It was almost 3pm after we bought the tickets and we still have not had our lunch yet. FL’s friend suggested to go eat Dim Sum, yummy yummy. Of cause I wanna try HK dim sum and there we go!! We went to the Hong Kong Dim Sum @ Ka Ho Restaurant (香港点心 – 嘉豪酒家) at a few blocks away.
Next: Stanley Market (赤柱)
Prev: Wong Tai Sin (黄大仙)
