Trip to Hong Kong – Day 3
I met up with some friends (Stanley, Tina, and Bessie) for lunch in SoHo, Central. It was a fun get-together, after all these years (about 3 years). Lan Kwai Fong, a street in Central, is famous for its busy and exciting nightlife; dining, clubbing, and drinking.
The double decker tram, or known as “ding-ding” by the locals.
Busy construction sites can be seen everywhere on the Hong Kong island. Its rapid development is unbelievable!
A typical ice-cream vendor in Hong Kong.
Try out the smoothie and juice. They’re great energy boosters!
Subsequently, we visited Wan Chai; HK Convention & Exhibition Centre, and Golden Bauhinia Square. It was a nice view of Tsim Sha Tsui from Wan Chai.
Causeway Bay was the next stop. It’s a busy shopping district.
Magnetic chess/board games. Anyone?
Rent a shelf compartment and promote your products! It’s a wonderful idea, due to the staggering store rental and limited business area.
Mr. Corn: Pamphlets! Anyone?
The Times Square.
Busy crowd outside Times Square in the evening.
Tina and I visited a Taiwanese restaurant for supper.
Cold noodles with salmon and crab flakes.
I had the minced pork noodles with egg and tofu.
After our late supper, we headed to the Victoria Peak by bus, for some gorgeous night views! The scene is simply breathtaking!
Peak Tram. It was the last tram of the day, from the top of mountain to Cotton Tree Drive, at midnight.
Next, we took a bus ride to the Wan Chai Ferry Pier. The night view of the island from the water is never to be missed! We headed north, back to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Very neat bench design. The back rest can be moved to either left or right, depending on which direction the ferry is heading into.
Pretty lighting was seen from the Avenue of Stars.

The Ding-ding looks skinner and taller. Are they taller than the double decker buses in London?
I think the Mr Jagung is funny. The people who distribute flyers should wear something funny like that here, I reckon :o)

Ai Shiang,
I can’t really tell for sure. But you’re right, it’s tall. Yea, the Mr. Jagung is funny. A good way to attract the crowd I guess.
