Re-post : Travel Log Hong Kong Part 2


Day 3 its was Ocean Park day.

Easy peasy , from Nathan road MTR to Admiralty MTR and took the bus to Ocean Park. It stops right at the entrance.
Well at first I tot of going to HK Disneyland but after few HK homework searching , Ocean park gave better option for no kids and young people like me.
But I didn’t ride all the rides , well just 1 ;-P
I really don’t have the courage and not an adrenalin junkie like my travel buddies , so what I did was snapping of their excitement and screaming shots.
If you ever go to Ocean Park do check out their Cable car. It was looooooooong , way up the hill over the cliff and you can see the beautiful beach of Repulse Bay.


It’s a whole day at Ocean Park and by night time , badan semua dh sakit2 and we really need meat to feed our body off we go googling and find a halal Pakistani restaurant for food.
Fine dining at a Pakistani restaurant at Tsim Sha Shui.
We really need the relaxation after 3days of walking and my legs really dh macam mau meletup but its all worth it!
After fueling up , off for last minute shopping at Temple Street.
Last day ( I so don’t want to go back) , a must see for tourist off to Flower Market and Yuen Po Bird Street Market.


Didn’t plan to shop anything but just to have a glimpse of what it is all about.
Funny the past 3 days in HK walking around , I don’t really see much of flowers everywhere but they have a Flower market and it was nice to walk on the street that were filled with potted of flower. 

As for the Bird market , this charming Chinese-style garden is the favoured gathering place of Hong Kong's songbird owners, who carry their beloved pets around in intricately carved cages. All manner of beautiful birds can be seen here, as well as a selection of traditional bird-keeping paraphernalia.
After a day in Edward Street ( both market is located very near to Edward Street MTR) , off to Habour city mall again for another round of shopping.
Masuk LV again ( LV boutique ramai macam pasar ok) but didn’t get anything :P


Finally we found not so expensive Halal Indian Muslim shop , yummy and very near to Kowloon Mosque.
Dh last 2 days baru dpt jumpa halal food , just imagine we had to rely on McD Fillet for the first 2days – noon and night.
I don’t think I’ll be having any Fillet for a month.
4days 3 night in a nutshell for my HK holiday.
Would I visit HK again ? Oh yes!


Tips : 
a) The best time to travel to Hong Kong is during its winter where the air is chilly and it is nice to walk around and not sweat. 
b) Public transport in Hong Kong is convenient and easy if you want to get from point A to B. During my trip we relay mostly with their MTR or LRT as we call it here and also the bus. They have many connecting trains and subways and hoping off and on the bus was easy. Get the travelling pass , its cheaper and you can use it for both train and bus. 
c) Halal food can easily be found if you stay somewhere nearer to the mosque. Do google and list where you can eat prior to your travelling. 
d) Shopping is a must in Hong Kong. If its on sale shoes , clothes even beg is cheaper. Designer item some also cheaper compare to Malaysia and Singapore. 
e) Travelling and finding your way from point A to B in Hong Kong is easy. We have planned our itenary of the places we want to go and visit and find our way there. There is even walking guide easily downloaded from the internet. 
f) It is best that if you can stay in a hotel that is close by the train station. The hotel where i stayed is located about 30m-50m from the station.
