Hongkong: Shining, Shimmering, Splendid

Like I said in my previous entry, I was in Hongkong for a mini-reunion with my parents. We stayed in Hongkong for only two days. Here are the highlights of our short trip:

Mongkok: We went shopping in this vibrant district in Hongkong. It was already 9 in the evening when we made our way to the night markets of Mongkok. The shop signs lit up in all kinds of neon lights in Chinese. We snagged very sweet deals on clothes, bags, shoes, souvenirs and a lot more.




Avenue of Stars: We arrived here in the middle of the afternoon to check out Hongkong's version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the breathtaking view of the Hongkong skyline.



Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront: At night, we strolled along the pedestrian-only promenade at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. We were able to witness the Symphony of the Stars, a spectacular sound-and-light show involving 20 buildings on the Hong Kong Island skyline.




Lantau Island: On our last day in Hongkong, we took the scenic Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping Village. We didn't miss seeing the Giant Buddha, which is said to be the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha.
