6th day HK one day trip

Although I still not sleep very well last night. Still wake up at 8:00am something. Take shower again, Eng mention it may rain today. I prayed there will not rain today as we need to have a whole day trip. We have our simple breakfast just downstairs. Back to hotel get ready for going to the wash room. I got nothing.

We starting our walking at 8:30am. We just walked the same way, tried to figure out we have to go to Sheraton Hotel lobby, then go up to the main street. Opps…the way to the hotel lobby is closed. Wow Buddha, where we should go? We have no choice, we have to find the Nathan Road for our way out. Finally we reached the main road. Then where are we. Finally we figure out and found the Starbuck coffee shop. We saw this Starbuck then we knew our way.

We walked aside through the coffee shop toward the T junction. We saw the tour guide was looking something. We knew she was our tour guide. She checked our names, checked the receipt. Then ask us to wait in the bus near by.

Our journey started at 9:25am, 5 minutes earlier. We went to see the ancient big canon. Here we can see some mountain and the future cable car(which not finish build yet). We spent 25 minutes here then the main purpose was to wait the mountain bus to fetch us to the BIG Buddha temple. The bus arrived in time. Oh the group have 29 person. Eng and me was in group I. Easy for the tour guide to recognize us.

The Canon

I took about one hour to arrived the temple. The road was so slide and have to turn here and there, sometime have to stop for other to go first.
The mist was getting big, so when we arrived the Big Buddha place, we even cannot the head of the big Buddha.

The blur BIG Buddha.

Under the Big Buddha, I took this photo.

We enter the main hall which under the big Buddha. Took a look of some exhibition. Tour guide ask us to see the “Shen Li Zhi” which came from the Buddha. The “Shen Li Zhi” is just like a crystal, a colour stone you can said that. After the body been burn, then left this beautiful crystal which is very hard. It always a round shape. I cannot see as it was too far and cannot took photo.


You can see this heavy mist!


After the exhibition, it’s time for us to have the vegetarians lunch. The dishes was okay but you will felt a bit oily.

I walked around to took some photos.

The beauty of the main temple.



After finished the lunch, we go around. I took few free books. At 2:00pm, we have to gather again to go to the “Heart Sutra” jungle. It took about 20 minutes walk to the path. Felt a bit cool and Eng walked toward the small hill. I just walk to took some photos. The mist was heavy and I have to shoot closely. I have to show you the picture then you will know what I mean.

The "Heart Sutra" wood.

We arrived “Dai O” at 2:00pm, we have 45 minutes to visit this fishing village. The main product is “Balancha” a kind of soy make by prawn. We visited the small “Balancah” manufacturer. Our group said you will not eat it if you saw the progress of the making.

After this, we may went to a garden, but seem the group didn’t want to go, so the whole group will back to the city at around 4:30pm.

We follow the same path again back to our hotel. We will met my sister at night again.

We waited my sister in front of the HK bank building which we can saw it after walked out from the “Zhong Wan” Central. There was place for us to sit there to wait. My sister came at 6:30pm, she mention her office is just beside us, the left building.

Eng want to ride the electric train which only cost HK$2.00, nor matter how to ride, from where to another place follow the train truck. After the train then we went up to the hill to watch the night light of HK. Unluckily that the balcony is under renovation, it may open after few months. So we just shoot some no very nice photos. Then we cached the boat back to Kowloon then we can view the night view closer. So photos will blur as the boat was swing here and there.

My sister asked me to hold my stomach first as the time was 8:30pm already. We arrived the restaurant at 8:40pm and managed to get our chair at 9:00pm. We finished our dinner at 10:30pm. Steamboat cost B$433.00 include the dessert. Just surprise my sister pay the bill, I saw pay the bill for this dinner as she will brought us walked around. My sister walked together with us to our hotel. It’s was about 11:30pm when we backed to hotel. We have to take shower and have to sleep right away as we have the one days trip tomorrow. We back to hotel at around 11:20pm.
