My Travel Bay

Hong Kong is full of attractions such as The Peak,Ocean Park, Disneyland, Ladies Market, Golden Bauhinia Square and many more. I just back from Hong Kong few days ago. I like to visit Hong Kong when the weather is about 20 degrees which is in month of March, not so hot or cold.

It was a 5 days 4 nights trip. I enjoyed a lot and so do my family. We might go there again but of course not in this year. Let me jot down where I have been visited during the trip before I forgot. Let’s me start on the second day as for the first day, we’re mainly go there to sleep.  LOL!!!

Golden Bauhinia Square

It situated outside of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Bauhinia is actually a type of flower, and this is also the city flower for Hong Kong. We just spend for not more than 30 minutes there to snap photos.

Repulse Bay/Tsin Shui Wan/ Shallow Water Bay

A giant “Kwan Yin” 

Next, we proceed to Repulse Bay. The bay was also called Tsin Shui Wan or Shallow Water Bay. I was told by the tour guide that it is the best feng shui place in Hong Kong. The beach is clean and the environment is so relaxing. I think that is why many HK entertainment celebrities like to stay there.

Aberdeen

Aberdeen, home of Hong Kong’s famous floating restaurants and the floating fishing village. We didn’t take a boat to visit the village which is behind the building. But I got to know about the history from our tour guide.  The village still inhabits hundreds of fishing men. Fishing boats ranging from the traditional Chinese sailing boat to the luxuriously furnished modern ship fill the bay.

Jackie Chan’s handprints 

A Symphony of Lights

The Avenue of Stars takes the history of Hong Kong’s film industry and its achieved accomplishments as it main theme. At the entrance to the avenue stands a bronze status of Oscar Reward and a small stage for performance and activities. You can enjoy the Symphony of Lights at 8pm every night.

Jackie Chan 

David Beckham 

Tiger Wood 

Victoria Peak is the highest peak in Hong Kong Island. Visitors can arrive there by tram, bus or car. When you arrive at The Peak Tower,  you may also visit to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.  There you can get up close and personal with your favourite stars. You and your kids will see about 100 wax figures of celebrities that look exactly like the real person.

Hong Kong Disneyland is located on Lantau Island. There are four theme areas in the Hong Kong Disneyland Park, namely, the Main Street, U.S.A, Adventure World, Fantastic World and Tomorrow World. There is a parade which start at 3.30pm every day. Besides that, a firework show in front of the sleeping beauty castle start at 7.30pm every day too.

After discussed with friend who is very familiar with Hong Kong, we decided not to go Macau but Hong Kong only for our 5 days 4 nights trip. It will be a very rush trip if we go to Macau too. Hubby says that we can go Macau for our next trip. LOL!!!

Since we have elderly, my mother and mother in law going along with us, we better have a light and easy package. We don’t want to take luggages and chase for ferry to Macau while having a kid around. I know it will be very crowded every day from HK to Macau or vice versa by ferry. What for make ourself in trouble. Afterall, 3 days in Hong Kong and 1 day in Disneyland is definitely great for us to walk around.

We have confirmed our package. It includes accomodation, half day tour, tickets for Disneyland. We will stay somewhere around in Tsim Sha Tsui. I really can’t wait to go there. Life is great! 

Golden Bauhinia Square , Hong Kong

Ruins of St. Paul Church, Macau

The Senado Square, Macau

Disneyland, Hong Kong

The Peak, Hong Kong

These are the main places that I would like to go when I go to Hong Kong/Macau next month. Due to privacy and on our safety purpose, I won’t disclose our accomodation in Hong Kong and Macau. I will be share more details and everything after we are back from the trip. Ok??? The hotel rates very expensive, even 2 stars hotels cost RM250+. We chose to stay in 4 stars hotels which are about RM400 per night. I hope there is discount for us from hubby’s head office.

Our trip is consider free and easy, just that there is a sit in coach to fetch us to the airport, hotels and tourist spots. We don’t have to rush for MRT or bus or taxi, everything is being arranged well. Hubby’s staff, travel supervisor had given me a list of our iteinery. I thought to cut down some of the places like jewelry shop and chinese herb shop.

Finally we decided to take up free and easy package when we travel to Hong Kong in March. Hubby will arrange with her staff about the transportation to send us to hotel and airport. We will reach in HK at night, we don’t want to rush for LRT, so it’s better that there is a van stand by to send us to hotel.

It is a must to go Disneyland, Macau and Victoria Peak. There are many other attractions too. I still searching for more information. I’m yet to decide our accomodation. I hope to stay in the centre, where we can easily go for shopping and food.

Hooray, we will go to Hong Kong in about 3 months time from now. I never been to Hong Kong before, same to hubby of course. My kid, mother and mother in law are going along with us too. I have planned this family trip last year once I back from Bangkok. I can’t believe hubby gave me such a surprise.

I still thinking if I want free and easy trip or by package. I do hope to go for free and easy trip, more relax and we will bring kid along, but as you know, accomodation in Hong Kong isn’t that cheap. Anyway, I’m looking and checking the hotel rates and places to visit and will decide it later.

It is a 5 days trip. Since we can get cheap flight tickets through AirAsia, we can’t choose the time. We will reach Hong Kong at night, dinner time. Just reach there and have a rest for the first day. It’s good actually afterall I don’t want to be rushed. I guess all of us will be very tired travel all day and no mood to visit other places too.

I will plan to check in to hotel first. After dinner, may be we can walk around outside the hotel. Hopefully I can find some shopping outlets. I heard from my friend that most shops close quite late at night.  

To be continued…..

I went for breakfast with my friends after my yoga class few days ago. We talked about the old folks home that we visited last Friday. Besides that, we discussed about when to have a gathering. My yoga instructur even plan a trip to Hong Kong. We are so excited with the trip she talked about, but we wonder when is the best time to go Hong Kong.

After thinking for a while, I better go with my hubby and kid. Actually hubby and I thought to bring our kid to HK Disneyland, most probably next year. I wonder if it is best to go during summer time? Gosh, it’s too hot but I can shop till I drop. Autumn or spring, I can’t shop much on those clothes. Winter, very cold but excited.

For those who been to HK, can you give me some suggestions when is the best time to travel there ? :-)
