Hey!

One must thing to see while in Hong Kong is the view of the Victoria Peak. The hill is on the Hong Kong island and you can definately not miss this!

Lots of people take the famous tram to go up hill but as I haven't booked a ticket in advance the queue look so horrible that it was necessary to come up with a other solution. That was set to be a taxi that happened to be near by so could easily get all the way to the top without a worry :D

Wanted to see the city during the day and also on the night lighting so picked a time for the visit on late afternoon. If you have limited amount of says I would recommend to visit as soon as you know the day is clear as the city seems to have fog more than often to block the views.

Enjoy!

Hello!

Happy weekend! Time for some more stories..

Temple Street Night Market

During the trip I enjoyed Hong Kong a lot also during the nights since the city is busy around the clock. One evening I decided to hit the Temple Street night market which you can find in Yau Ma Tei area on the mainland. The closest metros for this would be Yau Ma Tei or Jordan but decided to talk a walk from little further to see more of the city.

After the sunset it starts to be busy and all the sellers have got their stalls ready. You can find different kind of souveniers, art, toys and jewellery in the packed narrow street just to mention few.

I shopped a little and then focused on just enjoying the atmosphere and curiously looking around. Other than that the biggest thing I wanted to check the place out was the food. You can find you a table on the street in a little restaurant as in many places in Hong Kong. There were so many options that eventually stopped in a little place for a cool beer and some spring rolls (yummy!!).

You can feel the energy of the busy place and just sit there people watching which is one thing I enjoy a lot on my travels.
















Rooftop view over Hong Kong

Later in the evening the best idea hit once it was time to make a decision is it time for bed or some more adventure. There has to be a way to get on the rooftop of the hotel! Which turned out to be true once taking the lift to the 38th floor and hopping few more floor up and once I got up it was just unbelievable view!

On one side you can see all the sky high houses that continue up the hill and on the other side you still had a view over the waterfront and the mainland. Even if I've lived and travelled some big cities now it hit me how many people live here and how huge it is!

It was something that definately doesn't realistically transfer through pictures but you understand me if you have seen a similiar one. It was a very warm night to just chill on the grass and enjoy the night. Was little tired next day at breakfast but this was so worth it!!

Hello!

It's been a while since the trip but now wanted to share photos from Hong Kong which was my first touch to Asia so I was overly excited to see new part of the world and all the wonders there are. We had a direct flight from Helsinki to Hong Kong which is only like 9 hours and perfectly night time so we could wake up once we got there. Even if i think we were so excited that could barely sleep :D

On the first look of the city you could tell the place is a special mix between East and West because you can find things that are very familiar but also many many details that are completely different. The pictures will tell you better!

The first three nights we stayed on Hong Hong island which turned out the good spot for us and easy to get around the city which is quite simple to get around even if it's super big. The metro is simple to use with also English signs everywhere and soon after arriving and walking around you will have basic idea of your local neighbourhood.
