Hong Kong Family Trip: Day 2

Date: 23rd March 2011

Today our plans are to visit the Lantau Island and to take The Peak Tram. Frankly speaking, with a toddler and grandma with us, travelling time takes a bit longer. Grandma wakes up quite early but Kimi wakes up a bit late. So both of them need to accomodate with each other timing. We ended up chose to gather at 8.30am so that I had enough time to settle Kimi before leaving the hotel. We are not in a rush of time so anytime is ok for all of us. After our ‘Dim Sum’ breakfast,  we walked to ‘Tin Hau’ station to buy our Octopus Card with HKD 150.00 credit in it. Then our free and easy journey started!!

We took the train to ‘Tung Chung Station’ and then walked to the Ngong Ping 360 to buy the round trip Cable Car tickets. We chose to take the one way Standard Cabin and one way Crystal Cabin which cost HKD 153.00 per person for one adult ticket.

It was really a great experience to ride on the crystal cabin. We can even see the views everywhere from the cable car cabin. Very beautiful!

It was quite a long journey but Kimi enjoys himself a lot. He still does not know how to feel scare yet. So keep on ‘Wow-wow-wow’ throughout the whole journey. Seems to be enjoying himself.

Finally, we reached the destination!!

After walking around to admire the beautiful sceneries there, we went for a bowl of ‘Tau Fu Hua’ and then had our vegetarian lunch. The vegetarian lunch costs HKD 60.00 per person. Very big portion - 6 dishes + 1 Soup!

After our lunch and Kimi woke up from his afternoon nap, we walked back to the cable car and continued with our next destination to The Peak Tram. The Peak Tram ticket costs HKD 36.00 per person.

This is the ONLY photo which Hubby and I took together (2 of us) throughout the whole trip… Luckily still have one photo as momento ~

As I been to the Madame Tussauds before, I chose not to go in again. Moreover Grandma and Uncle also did not want to visit it so we walked around the place and admire the beautiful Hong Kong night scenery. It was quite a windy night so we did not stay long at The Peak. Moreover, the weather was a bit too cold for Kimi and Grandma.

Our Day 2 ended with a local dinner nearby our Hotel. Fruitful Day!
