Hong Kong 2014

We flew to Hong Kong last November of 2014. Spent two days in Hong Kong then traveled by land to ShenZhen, China where we spent overnight.

At the airport....

On our way to our hotel...

very light traffic!

Most of the buildings are actually residential!

For our first day in Hong Kong, we don't have anything on our itinerary so we have the whole day to ourselves! We just explored the area....there was a local market near our hotel, it was like a Greenhills or St. Francis haha! Then there was also a mall nearby but it's also like St. Francis Square. More more tyangge. 

The next day.....

First off: Victoria Harbour

 

Then we went to TSL Jewellery

We also took the boat ride in Aberdeen Harbour. During the boat ride, one part of the harbour is where the Aberdeen Boat Club stays. So.......bonggang bonggang mga yate!

eto na mga yate!!!

then the Jumbo Floating restaurant...

But there's another part of the harbour where you'll see these.... similar to informal settlers in land.

Then the Happiest place on earth....daw. HAHA! Naimbyerna ako ang daming tao ang hirap mag-enjoy!!!

Family Pic with Mickey!!!!!

Right after Disneyland, byahe na agad kami papuntang Shenzhen, China! Hinatid kami ng tour bus namin sa train station then from there, mga 10 stations pa going to China. Mala-Recto-Santolan lang ang peg. China na. hahaha! But of course hindi ganun kadali since may immigration and all pa, more more pila ang eksena bago matatakan ang passport!

We arrived in our hotel around 10-ish pm. Wala pa kaming dinner kasi we left Disneyland by 7pm tapos dire-diretso na yung byahe since ung train ay nakaschedule! Bongga.

We bought dinner na lang sa convenience store nearby...

On our first and only day sa Shenzhen, our first stop: this authentic jade jewellery store. Most of the stores na pinuntahan namin, pinagbebentahan kami ng products nila after ng "tour" sa store nila. Tiba tiba talaga!


Uhm, ngayon ko lang narealize wala pala akong picture sa store na 'to. Bawal pala.

But I took a picture of their toilet!! Eto yung tinatawag na "Kung Fu toilet". Gets?!? Mapapa-squat ka ala-kung fu kung wiwiwi ka at number 2!!

Next stop is: WOW (Wonders of the World), Parang miniature version ng mga wonders of the world. Although hindi kasama sa package namin ang entrance fee kaya nasa labas lang kami. Pero from there nakita naman namin yung Eiffel Tower, Columns, Pyramid, etc. Mas bongga kung makakapasok pero mahal! Next time na lang! hahaha!

May picture na po ako sa Eiffel tower hihihihi

Then we tried this short/cute train ride along the area lang naman. So parang ung vicinity ng WOW and Happy Valley ma-sa-sight niyo...

Then we had lunch here... Also our final stop for the day. Agad agad.

We left China and went straight ahead to immigration going back to Hong Kong. We were picked up by our tour bus and traveled around an hour going to the airport. Susme! Nasa airport na kami ng mga 3pm then ang flight namin 10pm pa. Kaloka!! Well kasi yung iba namin kasamahan 5pm ang flight kaya early bird ang peg.

Anyway, that's it for our Hong Kong - Shenzhen trip! Maybe next time if given the opportunity I would like to explore more of Hong Kong, particularly dun sa area na famous for their shopping! Hihihihi
