Budget traveling: Hong Kong and Macau #2

Sorry for making you guys waiting for so long..I’m quite busy with my workloads and need to arrange other trip..okay lets continue my trip to Hong Kong..By the way, cerita pasal Macao dah settled dalam entry sebelum ni..so now lets spend another 3 days in Hong Kong.

Day 3 (Hong Kong) – We decided to go to Victoria Peak. Perching on The Peak at 396 metres above sea level, The Peak Tower is one of the most stylish architectural Hong Kong attractions. Inside The Peak Tower, there is a dazzling array of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues set against the beautiful backdrop of the city. You better buy the ticket with package of entering Madame Tussauds + Sky Terrace + Peak Tram (round trip) for a range cost of HKD 200 - 300 for adult (can’t remember the exact price).

To get there kindly take the MTR to Central and make your way to the J2 exit of the Central MTR station. Turn right, through Chater Garden, cross Queen’s Road Central and make your way up Garden Road. You will pass the Bank of China Tower and Citibank Plaza on your left and St John’s Cathedral on your right before arriving at the terminus, which is to your left.

Moreover, The Peak Tower boasts the highest 360° viewing platform – The Sky Terrace which offers spectacular panoramic views of the vibrant city.

Then in the evening, we move to Avenue of Stars which located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong and is modeled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. To get there Exit E of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station.

At night starting 8pm, there is Symphony of Lights show which is the “World’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show” by Guinness World Records, has been further expanded to include more than 40 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour. A stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronized to music and narration that celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong.

Day 4  We went to Hong Kong Disneyland and stayed a night at Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. We bought a one day general admission ticket and package with the hotel for a cost HKD 4556 for 4 persons. The resort is located at Penny’s Bay, Lantau Island and to get there do take Disneyland Resort MTR Station.
