How was it you say?!?!? AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!
As promised pics and documentry of my holiday!
First stop Hong Kong!
We arrived in HK in the evening, and soon as we got to our hotel we quickly freshened up and headed out to explore!
We stayed on Kowloon Island, just off Nathan Road.
The minute we turned onto Nathan road my breath was taken away with the amount of Neon Lights everywhere! It's just like how you see it on TV!
See I told ya!
Some more lights!
After that we set off to the harbour front to see the famous Symphony of lights of the Hong Kong Island Lightshow!
We arrived there a bit early as the show starts at 8pm every evening.
We walked along the harbour and found the star walk of fame like how they have it in Hollywood
The great, Bruce lee!
Jackie Chan!
We continued to view all the other star plaques but didn't recognize any of the others, mainly because they are only famous in Asia.
It's 8pm! SHOW TIME! :-D
The Skyline of HK Island
The lights in action!
Too be honest it was over hyped in my books! I mean don't get me wrong! It was good! But it just didn't live up to the hype that people made it out to be! All in all the show lasts about 8-20 minutes and by the time 5 mins go by your pretty board already.....The photo opportunity wasn't that great the night we went, because these was a lot of smog/mist in the air so I could'nt quite get a good picture of it.
The Next Morning We headed off to the Peak Tram to get a view of the Hong Kong Harbour! Our guide book says this is one of the best places to get a good view of the Skyline!
Tram takes you from the ground level all the way up the mountain!
Peak Tram
There are only 4 stop between the bottom and the top of the peak
Having said that they aren't stations really, rather the peak tram stopping at different points on the peak where people may get off to get to their homes.
The view from the top of the Peak! Amazing!
I did prefer it by night see the shot I took at the night...
I'll leave you to decide which one is the better!
This is a pic of me Camwhoring in front of the view...
I took this picture on the way back down the peak about half way down! Eaaaaaaaaaak!
More to come soon in the next post!
