Hong Kong: Ta Po wishing tree and Victoria Peak

Seriously, i dunno what is there to see at Ta Po except for the wishing tree. It is said that this wishing tree is very 'accurate' in the sense that many people got their wish fulfilled after putting it on the tree.

However, due the large amount of 'wishes' on the tree, more than what the tree can hold, visitors can no longer throw their wishes up to the tree like those HK serials. Instead, you can write down your wish as usual but place it on one of the boards near the tree.

At Victoria Peak, it has the most breath-taking view of Hong Kong especially when viewed at night. Due to renovation work, we could only go to part of Victoria Peak but the view is still magnificent.

Hong Kong: Repulse Bay & Shen Shui Wan

These 2 bays are the ones that attracts the most tourist.

At Repulse bay, it is packed with lots of people. There, it stood a very tall Goddess of Mercy statue, forgot how tall it is.

Other than that there is really nothing much to see except lots of good photo taking backdrops.


Over at Shen Shui Wan, we took a ferry ride on the bay.

The most eye catching thing here is the gigantic Jumbo floating Restaurant. Though we never stepped into it, the exterior view is already jaw dropping.

Hong Kong: Li Yu Men

Went to Li Yu Men for seafood dinner. Heard that it is one of the most famous places for seafood in HK but honestly i have never heard of it before hahahha....



There are many restaurants in Li Yu Men and all of them sells seafood. Many restaurants displayed their seafood live for you to choose. After that they will cook the seafood you chose according to your preference.

Hong Kong in 2005

My family decided to visit Hong Kong in 2005. One of the main reasons was to visit the then newly open Disneyland. Another was the effective adverts which depicts HK as the food and shopping heaven hahaha....

Anyway, here we are, arrival at the new HKIA

Hang Zhou: Xi Hu

Xi Hu is a very scenic tourist attraction. Basically, we took a ride on one of the many ferries plying the lake. On board we just enjoyed the fantastic view of nature and took in the cold winter breeze.

Near the lake, there are a few restaurants selling the well known "Dong po" meat. Of course we had to try it as well =)

Hang Zhou: Wu Zhen

Wu Zhen is another one of the tourist attraction which is modeled after ancient chinese towns. It represents a more backward village type of feeling.

The place depicted the low income level village of ancient china and shows the lifestyle of the people back then.

We also visited a place were many types of beds are displayed. The beds range from the simple ones to those that emperors used.

Shanghai: The Bund

One of the 'must visit' places in Shanghai. In chinese, this is the famous "Wai Tan" also known as "Shanghai Tan". The Bund is mentioned in many of the tv serials and also the settings for many of the movies. It runs also the Huangpu river and there are many fantastic looking buildings lining the Bund.

These include a very famous "He Ping Fan Dian", the Peace Hotel.


HSBC bank and beside it is the Custom House.


You can even see the Oriental Pearl Tower in Pudong. Really breath-taking view, especially at night.
