4th day in hongkong

up to 天坛大佛 @ 昂坪 Ngong Ping - our 2nd last day in hongkong, and up we went to Ngong Ping, one of the highest point on Lantau Island. We had our breakfast first at meixian, before taking the mtr to the tung chung 东涌 station. From there, we took the package tour available at the cable car station ticket counter for the tour around Ngong Ping 360, a resort-style village for tourists, which also include return cable car tickets. The journey on the cable car lasted a mind-numbing 25 minutes for me as i were quite afraid of heights. Upon reaching Ngong Ping, we proceeded to the 天坛大佛 and the 宝莲寺 opposite the buddha. by the time we left ngong ping, it was already nearing 3 pm in the afternoon.

disneyland hongkong edition - from 东涌 mtr station, we took a ride down to the sunny bay mtr 欣澳 for the transfer to the disneyland line. disneyland was heaven for baby, as she run from one shop to another, gushing at the array of disneyland products. if not for the lack of finances, baby would have bought everything on the shelves of all the stores. As we went to disneyland late, we had limited time for all all the attractions within disneyland, but we strive to cover as much of disneyland as possible. at 7, the lights of disneyland were dimmed for the finale fireworks. with the cold winds blowing, we left disneyland around 8 plus. baby was feeling abit sad as we did not cover some of the attractions or rides, but i promised her that i will bring her to the ones in the US or japan to compensate... haha...

disney fireworks - pls rotate ur screen 90 degrees to watch it, thanks.


discovery @ discovery bay - having no idea what discovery bay was or what it contained except the knowledge that it is situated on lantau and that there might be ferry services back to central, i decided to venture on this route back to central instead of taking the trusted mtr services. after some hard-thought conversation with the mtr station control operator, we found out the bus service that ply sunny bay and discovery bay and confirmed that there indeed was ferry services back to central.
upon reaching, i realised discovery bay was actually a residential area for the expats working in hongkong, with a shopping square and an atrium. there was also a 24-hour fast ferry service back to central.
tired from the day's travel, baby and i then retired early for the night.
