Hong Kong Day 2 !

I had to say we dint start the day very well cos the free breakfast provided really sucks big time. I will bet my dollar that you cant find these kinda beggar's food in the lousiest kopitiam or HK cafe. Everything just sucks.. maybe the hard boiled egg is only thing that you find 'normal'.. the coffee sucks too.. so bad that the food cause some after feeling in your throat, Thomas alike. Haiz.. what can you expect from a cheap hotel?

We took the MTR to Tung Chung station to get to Lantau Island. Its the last stop of the Tung Chung Line & it's also after the Sunny Bay station where you transit to Disney Land (No, I dint go Disney land, not interested! :p).

However, we had to take the cable car to cross the sea & the queue was more than 45mins! We can take a bus though but it will take approx 1hr.. hehehe... comparing the cable car journey of 20mins.. of cos cable car la!

BUT, think about this; 45mins waiting time + 20 mins journey > taking 1hr bus - isnt it???

We see the Buddha!!!

The cable car station is at the foot of the Ngong Ping village, once you cross a 'divided part' nearer to the statue (where I stand in this photo), all eateries only serves vegetarian. It's as a form of respect.

268 steps to the Buddha
I will make it!
almost there...

Nice, satisfied & in harmony...

Free vegetarian snacks which was inclusive in the entry fee to enter the Buddha.. its nice ok! esp the yam cake! Soya bean curd was also very smooth..

We're getting traditionally married !

Thomas was pointing to this path that can lead you to cross the mountains.. Recall how it took us 20mins by cable to get across...??
DON take the path on impulse!

We left Lantau island around evening & headed right to the Citygate mall!

Citygate is famous for big brands & designers good at bargain price, cos I think it only sell off-season goods. Brands like Coach sells at ave 30-40% discount which is not bad and the designs are still quite nice! I didn't buy any cos I really don need extra bags (designer or not) hence I don see the reason to spur. Mom bought a CK silver colour tote for sister thou.. @ half price! Sold in Club21.

Citygate is locate right outside the Tung Chung station, above the bus terminal to go to Lantau Island which is also beside the cable car station lor! All within 100m radius.
