My Journey of Life: Hongkong - Macau 17-21 May 2012, (19th)

19 May 2012

Woke up early in the morning, the weather was quite good. Too lazy to find another staying place, we decided to extend our staying until Monday but never expected they charged us at higher rate for the next two days, they said it will be about HKD 2,200 per night due to weekend. We cancelled it and this time, we had to change other hotel. We looked for few hotels nearby, had some cheap ones but the quality and condition were not that good. We gave up, finally chose Holiday Inn Hotel to stay, the rate was just a bit cheaper than Imperial but quality was better than it, HKD 2,100 for 1st night and HKD 1,900 for 2nd night. I really regretted I didn't prepare our accommodation properly before we went to Hongkong.

We continued our trip to the Peak by MTR. Alighted at Central station and continued walking to peak tram. We bought combo package return ticket, Madame Tussauds and Sky Terrace, much cheaper. The train brought us high to the top. After reached there, we took breakfast before went in to Madame Tussauds. Inside Madame Tussauds we took a lot of pictures. The wax figures there looked like real one, so nice. Then we went up to sky terrace to see Hongkong from highest place. I think if go there at night is more beautiful.

From there we then headed back again to Central station. we wanted to go to Ngong Ping village by cable car. There are 2 kinds of cable car, standard and crystal cable car. Take crystal one if you want to see the bottom view because they use transparant glass as base. Please don't buy ticket any places unless it is an official ticket counter. We got cheated here because we bought from wrong counter. Reached Ngong Ping village, it was raining again, we ate lunch at vegetarian restaurant here.

Went back to city around 5 pm, we took bath and rest a while in hotel. At night, we went out again to Victoria Harbour to watch symphony of light and had dinner at harbour city. Went back to hotel again took a good night sleep.
