Back :) Had my internet connection problem fixed finally, so here's my post about my HK trip! Speaking of this 6 days trip, it was really a fun and enlightening experience. Basically it began with taking flight from Singapore, followed by visiting Shenzhen> Macau> Hong Kong> Shenzhen> and back to Singapore.
Before I say anything else, onto the weather, it's early Autumn now so I assumed the weather is quite cold then I brought along my boots, gloves, and slightly thick sweater in my luggage like what I brought for my Korea trip last year. So, the first day everyone was complaining about the broiling weather, especially visiting places that we have miles to walk under the sun, outdoor activities for whole day. Then starting from the third day, everyday seems to be rainy. Not a pleasant weather though. A sunny and cold autumn wind will be perfect. =D
Many places I went for the couple of days so I'll just picked those must visit places to write here. Not forgetting food I had there so I'll make it two posts for this trip.
In Shenzhen first spot we visited was China Folk Culture Village, for the first day we actually watched three performances, the grand one was Splendid China (锦绣中华) .....it's awesome!Actually we were quite exhausted for the first day as the night before we spent on plane so we didn't get sufficient sleep. Anyway I was impressed by those Chinese costumes and lighting, it's a performance with great combination of culture, art and dance.
Horseback Battle Field stadium
performance: Splendid China
lunch of the day: Roasted pigeon ( must try! ) \(^-^)/
Talk of Macau, I love the atmosphere of historical that can be seen from all sorts of old buildings . Must see place is St. Paul's Ruins (大三巴牌坊).
And, must buy souvenir, cookies or biscuits will be from the shop just below St. Paul's Ruins. I strongly recommend almond biscuits and meat floss egg roll (two thumbs up!!!). The most famous Portuguese egg tarts is from King Luis, healthy tarts made of olive oil, not oily also it's still fresh after two to three days. About RM50 for 12 tarts, slightly expensive but you can only buy it via making order, phone calls. (our tour guide helped us). I love the tarts!!!
Well in Macau, everywhere has casino even the hotel I stayed having a big and Egypt-themed casino. So here's the rich interior deco of hotel.
The Venetian...
The "sky" is always blue here. Nice :D
it's actually fake blue sky in The Venetian casino's indoor shopping place.
Now onto Hong Kong, must eat food are doriyaki (red bean pancake), this (bee hive pancake?!?) and dim sum!!! get a bite on doriyaki when it's still hot, red beans melted in your mouth, it's so wonderfully irresistible! yummy!
had this abalone during lunch, taste...-okok-.
Okie I'll stop here, hope this post didn't make you drooling...I'll come back to continue the story soon :)
