HK Trip May 07 - Day 3

Day 3! Here's our breakfast at another cha chan teng, the bill and egg tarts (not fantastic though).





After breakfast, we went shopping at Mongkok. Didn't take much pictures because we were all too busy shopping. You can start with Fa Yuen St Market, lots of SASAs and Bonjours here if you want to buy fragrances and cosmetics. There are nice bags here too. Later, you can proceed to Argyle Centre, which is something like Bugis Village, but with air-conditioning and very happening. I like the clothes and shoes here. But not much things to buy for the guys though..

here's a view of one the back alleys..


We shopped till around 7 plus, went back to the hotel to deposit our shopping and went to the Peak.

The night view from the viewing gallery and the Peak Building.


To get to the Peak, you can take the MTR to Admiralty (Jing Chong) then follow the signboards to the Peak Tram up Garden Road. I think you need to cross a pedestration crossing, there's electric trams here too, so can look out for them. Then you need to walk about 15 minutes upslope and watch out for a green signboard that says Peak Tram.

Here's the Peak Tram. This is quite awesome to take as it brings you from the ground level all the way to the peak in just under 15 mins. The tram can have very steep inclines along the way, sometimes as steep at 45 degrees (haha quoting the brochure). Reminded me of Harry Potter too. There's a Madam Tussaud's wax museum up there too but you need to buy tickets to go in.







Didn't have time to cover Lan Kwai Fong as planned. Mostly pubs and clubs there. Maybe we can pop in the next time we go HK?
