Hong Kong, SAR Of China (Part 3 of 6)

Hong Kong trip was not done with much research on food. We started day 2 at the the following shop beside our hotel. The shop did not look very appealing, but breakfast was nice. Not knowing Cantonese, made communication a bit difficult. But that did not prevent us from ordering food or getting our way around Hong Kong.

The first destination is Tung Chung Station, where we did much shopping at City Gate Outlets. This was where we got all our cheap branded stuff. The mall was huge, hence we had to watch our time, in order to keep to our planned itinerary.

Next we proceeded to Ngong Ping Cable Car to board the cable car to Ngong Ping. A transport that was more expensive then bus, but it is worth it for the scenic view from the cable car. It was rather a long journey up to Ngong Ping.

The village covered a wide area. You need to plan you time well to visit the place, shop and have lunch and dessert. Since we were near to Tai O, we did not want to miss visiting Tai O. We hopped on to bus 21 to Tai O, to spend some time there and be backed on time to catch our cable car back to Tung Chung.

Since one of us was not feeling well, day 2 had to end early, without visiting the night streets in our planned itinerary.
