My Top Five Stops in HK!

Hong Kong --- also known as Asia's World City --- attracts tourists world wide by its mesmerizing city of lights, cold climate, varieties of shopping havens and endless entertainment. With just approximately a two-hour flight away from Manila, Hong Kong became one of the most accessible and one of the most visited Asian countries today.

Here are my top five stops in HK.

5. Mong Kok - An HK trip is not complete without shopping! In HK, Mong Kok is  a version of  our very own "Divisoria" where you can satisfy your fashion cravings without hurting your wallet. Ladies' Market and Temple Street in Mong Kok are shopping havens for everyone who wants to use their haggling skills and grab nice bargains. On the other hand, if you prefer to shop for branded clothing, bags and so on then Causeway Bay and Central is the right destination for you. Aside from Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, you'll also find here popular HK local brands like Giordano and Bossini.

4. Victoria Peak - A Peak Tram ride to the Peak tower will reward you a dazzling view of the city. Well, aside from the stunning scenery of Kowloon and Victoria Harbour, what made our visit to Victoria Peak memorable was the walk inside Madame Tussaud Museum. Here, you can be up close and personal with famous celebrities --- smile with them and pose with them the "Hollywood way".

3. Ocean Park - I'm not an animal lover but I always find aquatic animals very pleasing to the eyes. I don't know if it's just the color blue which has a calming effect on people but fishes are really more interesting to watch compared to mammals or reptiles. Also, pandas are la-la-love! These cute black and white bears look so fluffy and soft that I want to hug them!

2. Ngong Ping 360 - A cable car ride to Ngong Ping Village will give you an aerial view of North Lantau. Travellers go to Ngong Ping to see the Po Lin Monastery and The Big Buddha. I find this place a living description of serenity, peace and tranquility. Too bad, the fogs are too thick when we went there that we weren't able to see the full view of The Big Buddha. Nevertheless, the visit was all worth it.

Just imagine that there is no fog!!! LOL!

1. Disney Land - Admit it or not, each one of us grew up loving at least one of  the Disney Characters. Disney Land will always be a place for all ages because it will bring back the child in you. Excitement already begins when you ride the Disney MTR, where Mickey and Minnie is found everywhere. This will be your gateway inside Disney's magnificent sights.

Aside from the magical place and fairy tales brought to life, I felt a sense of pride to watch Filipino Entertainers sing and dance in  the Festival of the Lion King show and Disney on Parade. 

After all the fun and magic, an enchanting fireworks display at the end of the night will leave you craving for more!

Xie xie HK! Until my next visit! :)
