Sha Tin
We were too tired to write the last two days. On the 1/1, we went to the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas in the morning. We took the MTR to the New Territories route and got off at the Sha Tin Wai station. The temple is 15mins away from the station. It is located at the foot of a hill, in order to get to the temples, there are many stairs to climb. On the way to the ...Tsim Sha Tsui & 2008 Countdowntag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=15&entryid=962252008-02-20T18:29:43Z2008-02-13T18:18:52ZYesterday we walked alot, we were so tired and we woke up late at 11am this morning! This morning we went to have lunch at Brazil BBQ restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui(TST), and we spent the rest of the day in TST. It was kind of expensive, but with great service and a nice environment. It's worth it!!!
After lunch we went to visit the Hong Kong Museum of History. The museum has over 45,000 objects which are about archaeological, local ...Wong Tai Sin - Prince Edward - Mong Koktag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=14&entryid=962242008-02-20T22:45:24Z2008-02-13T18:18:33ZWong Tai Sin Temple
This morning, we spent the breakfast free coupon at the hotel restaurant. After the nice warm breakfast, we took the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station; where the Wong Tai Sin Temple is located. It is one of the most important and most frequently vistited temples of HK. At the entrance of the temple, there are tons of stores selling flowers, fruits, incense... ...When we got into the temple, we saw lots of people were worshipping ...Stanley Market & Murray Housetag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=13&entryid=962232008-02-20T18:28:39Z2008-02-13T18:18:23ZToday was our last day on Hong Kong Island, and what a better way to end it then shopping?! We bought a ton of souvenirs[1] such as traditional Chinese clothing garments[1.1]and many small ornaments[1.2]. We spent the whole day at Stanley Market which is all open air so it didn't even feel like shopping-no air conditioning and stuff like malls back home. We have done a fair amount of shopping this trip but today was much more successful because everything ...Peak - HKCEC - Jumbotag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=12&entryid=962222008-02-20T05:26:01Z2008-02-13T18:18:14ZThese past few days have been awesome. We took the famous peak tram [1]to the even more famous peak to see the fabulous view of the Hong Kong Harbor. The tram was by far the best mode of transportation we have tried so far. It climbs 1200 feet [1.1]and it's pulled by steel cables1.2. It looked amazing because you're going through the trees so it seems so high!

Today we went to Ocean Park[1]!!! This was one of the biggest parks in Hong Kong!!! First we had to take the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui, then took the Star Ferry to Central, and took the bus to Ocean Park!!
There were two entrances at Ocean Park; we chose the entrance at the Tai Shue Wan! It only costs $208.00 HKD[1.1] to enter for one day, w ...Sheung Wan - Central - Causeway Baytag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=10&entryid=962192008-02-20T22:53:46Z2008-02-13T18:17:55ZMerry Christmas!!! I’m Judy, today we went shopping at Sheung Wan and Causeway Bay[1]. Yesterday when we were going to Avenue of Stars, Vanessa saw the ferry and said she wanted to try it. So today we took the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui, and then took the ferry to Sheung Wan.
I forgot to mention, there were many exits and entrances for one station of the MTR, that’s why people could take the MTR from anywhere easily!!!
We had ...Disneyland & Christmas illuminationtag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-13:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=9&entryid=962172008-02-20T19:23:25Z2008-02-13T18:17:41ZHi! I’m Vanessa! One of the blog masters! Yesterday Emily, Judy and I went to Hong Kong Disneyland!! Actually I was worried about this trip, because usually Emily doesn't talk too much; same as Judy, and Emily was so stupid! I thought this would be a boring trip, but after yesterday, I changed my mind, because Emily was always trying so hard to find common topics for the three of us! Oh! Emily is so cute!!! hahaha!!!

We took the MTR again today to Tung Chung station where we took our very first cable car ride!
It takes some time but we got to see some fabulous places on Lantau Island, we got off at the Po Lin Monastery to see the fabulous Big Buddha [1], and wow is it ever huge!

It is a 14 hour flight but seems longer since it is already the next day back home. It didn't take us long to get through customs because we have a valid Canadian Passport which is all you need to enter Hong Kong.The International Airport ...Map of Hong Kongtag:travellerspoint.com,2008-02-06:/blog/?domain=shin117&thisblog_entryid=2&entryid=950322008-02-18T06:15:05Z2008-02-06T18:56:07Z[map=128335] ...
