The Beginning

After having our lovely breakfast, we planned to visit Lantau Island, which was about an hour of MTR ride from Mong Kok station. Yes, we can enjoy the panoramic view on Ngong Ping cable car, and also the Tian Tan Buddha located at the center of the island.

When we reached there, we saw the notice board below:

Ngong Ping 360 is not the only way to get there, so we tried to look for alternatives… Unfortunately, we were being told that the transportations were cut down due to the heavy downpours few days ago. So, the only way would be getting a helicopter :)

We had to change our plan and visit to Wong Tai Shin Temple located at Kowloon District. Of course, we wasted few hours on travel and finally we reached the temple around 1pm.

After spending a couple of hours here, we moved to another place, Kowloon Walled City (九龍城寨). It was a tiny Chinese enclave in the middle of British Hong Kong for decades, and it was torn down in the year of 1993. In August 1995, the park is known as the Kowloon Walled City Park (九龍寨城公園), preserving the heritage of the fabled Walled City and is part of the adjacent Carpenter Road Park.

After raining heavily for the past two days, it was a cloudy day on 8th June 2008. It was a lovely Sunday too. We decided to visit Tsim Sha Tsui, the major tourist hub in Hong Kong, with many shops and restaurants established there.

There are a lot of musuems in Tsim Sha Tsui but we did not visit them on that day. It would be quite crowded if we visit these places on weekends and it would be free admission on Wednesday for these musuems.

31st of August is the independence day of Malaysia…

However, I am not there but in Hong Kong again on an assignment. This would be the consecutive year that I am celebrating Hari Merdeka in overseaas. Last year, I was in Korea for my industrail training. :cry:

Currently, I am staying in Le Meridien hotel, located at Cyberport, as this would be the naererst hotel to my office. It is a very nice hotel, equipped with various facilities. However, this place is quite far away from the town center, as it takes about 30 minutes to reach Causeway Bay.
