veronxtravel : Hong Kong Day 3

Hello readers! I'm back! Thanks for continuing my Hong Kong adventure with me. I'm really glad to share them with you guys.

So for the third day, we decided to do some exercise. Okay, maybe MORE EXERCISE. We went hiking. Istg, my legs were damn tired from all the walking and shopping. But decided to went ahead anw, since I know that I won't come back here again in the near future. I was so frustrated cause I totally did not expect to go hiking and thus, didn't have my sports gears with me.

Okay, ya'll might start saying I'm pampered or what not. But I have to have my sport gears with me whenever I have to do something vigorous or activity. I just feel more comfortable that way. I mean, everyone have their own preference. And furthermore, I didn't have my sport shoes wtheck. I have to freaking wear my ultraboost if not my superga might just fall apart halfway. Wth, I actually hike using ultraboost. FML. Nvm, back to the topic. So, we went on a hike up the mountain called Dragon's back.

It is also a tourist attraction. So one tip is to go during weekdays. We did, and there was also a bit of a crowd. Oh, and do remember to go to the toilet beforehand. They have those portable toilets before the climb but I swear the toilets were so disgusting and dirty and there are no toilet papers and it is super smelly. Oh god.


Oh, sorry to mention, this was our breakfast. It looks good right, but actually its just toast and teh. LOL. The toast is spread with butter and condensed milk, yup its good but super overpriced. -.-

I can't remember how to get to the mountain but I'm sure you can find it online, so now I'll just spam some pictures I took.









The air was so fresh. I really love it, I love the weather, the air, the people. Everyone was so friendly. I also enjoy escaping their fast paced city life for once. It was so slow, everyone just take their own sweet time. I swear Hong Kong is such a fast paced city life, and I went there right after my finals I don't even have time to breathe and slow down. 

Oh yes, and in the end I had to hike with jeans wtf. Who else actually hike with jeans man, omg.

Oh right, in the end, we did not climb up the Dragon's back but we went to the big wave bay. It was just another route down. I regret not bringing along my swimsuit and all man. I could have jumped into the ocean and maybe try surfing for a couple of hours. :'( It looks so shiok.







We sat on the rocks and rested before leaving the place. I really love the sea breeze, loving the sea and the scenery. It kinda reminds me of the dream beach of Bali. How I wish I lived there. But I was contented enough just by experiencing it for myself for just a couple of hours. Hopefully, next time when I visit there, I can try to surf and learn how to surf. (:

We left after that, we actually took a private bus back to the city, I think it costs HKD 12 which is like SGD 3 but we were so darn tired so we took a nap in the bus. 

We had dinner at Kungfu Dimsum, sorry I forgot to take picture cause I was super tired and super hungry. But it was just nearby the train station. We still have the whole night to go, so we didn't want to waste the night. So in the end, we took the train over to Causeway bay. Never did we know that, causeway bay is like our sg orchard road, everything sold there were branded or rather stuff that we can never afford.


So when you alight at the station, you will see this mall. This mall is like our MBS, all the shops here are luxury brands, like YSL, Louis Vuitton etc. We only walked around and went to their fair at the top floor which sells like discounted kanken, but I did not get any cause the colours were very limited. We didn't stay there for long actually we went back shortly after. Cause we were superrrr tired from all the hiking and stuff. 

And the we have to reasearch on our next day itinerary which is the most anticipated itinerary out of all! The OCEAN PARK! hehehe, please do stay tune for my ocean park adventure, I promise you will be excited to see the animals as I am! Hehe.
