Hong Kong Trip-Mong Kok(旺角)

On our last day of Hong Kong trip, we hung around at Mong Kok(旺角). We started our day in a small narrow 24 hours restaurant. I was facing dilemma to choose which food to take and finally I chose the dumpling with hot milk tea.



Mong Kok is a mixture of old and new multi-story buildings, with shops and restaurants at street level and commercial or residential units above. There are interesting and unique streets and markets such as Ladies' Street(女人街), Temple Street(廟街), Portland Street(砵蘭街), Sneakers Street(波鞋街) and many more. In the early morning, not so many shops open and you only can see old folks on the street.


You can see this jewelry shop-Chow Tai Fook and Sasa everywhere you go

We stop by McDonald's, special macaroni

Busy choosing Angry Birds

After done our shopping, we rushed to airport and flew back to Malaysia. Hong Kong is a very unique place. It's a place where East meets West. Previously when they were under British colony, the people never stop growing. In fact, Hong Kong is one of the world's leading international financial centers. After 1997, Hong Kong is under the principle of "one country, two systems", it has a different political system from mainland China. They are known as a country with high economic freedom, financial and economic competitiveness, quality of life, corruption perception and Human Development Index.

It was a short trip to experience the Hong Kong life. Their trademarks are fast moving, narrow space and lack of humanity. I was scolded by an auntie on the first day(wtf). I'm personally quite admire them in terms of their hard-work to develop their country but I think I will take some time to fit into their society if I need to stay there. Anyway, I wish I can go back to Hong Kong again for other places. Now, let's enjoy the partial fireworks presentation at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Hong Kong Trip-Madame Tussauds(香港杜莎夫人蜡像馆)

Our last stop at The Peak was Madame Tussauds. It is part of the renowned chain of wax museums founded by Marie Tussaud of France. The wax figures are featured in a range of themed settings such as Hong Kong Glamour, Music Icons, Historical and National Heroes, The Champions and World Premiere.

End of my wax museum exploration journey

It's an honor if you have your own wax figure in the museum. It's signatures that you are an influential, powerful, great and contribute a lot to the nation. Every tourist wish to take photo with their idol because they probably don't have chance to meet with them personally. I met so many stars and icons in a night.

Hong Kong Trip-The Peak(太平山顶)

After hung around at Lantau Island, we went to another end of Hong Kong-The Peak(太平山顶). There are a few ways to reach The Peak, we chose to take MTR then bus and finally take tram go up to The Peak. The route should be take MTR and stop at Central then change to number 15C bus and stop at The Peak Tram. I think we considered quite lucky because we accidentally took number 15 bus that directly go up to The Peak. The funniest thing was we don't even know that we have reached The Peak. Anyway, we learned from every mistake we made.


This is the place to take tram to go up the The Peak

There are many things for you to see while waiting for tram




The tram is coming


So pack





When you are inside the tram, you can see the beautiful night view of Hong Kong along the way but to balance yourself inside the tram it's not easy unless you found a place to sit down. So, I will advise you to take once either go up or down if you didn't try it before.


We have reach The Peak

The Hong Kong night view from Sky Terrace

Hong Kong has a lot of Skyscrapers due to limited land and they known as a city that never sleep. The lights of every building make an extraordinary night view of Hong Kong. While I was looking at the Hong Kong from Sky Terrace, I felt peaceful and calm. I really admire the toughness of Hong Kong people. They work hard to develop their country even they have limited of resources and land. Today, Hong Kong is a recognised global centre of trade and also a well known entertainment hub.
