The plane touched down at the Hong Kong International Airport at 10:05 in the morning. A light mist welcomed us but didn't stay long for it might have understood our excitement for visiting Hong Kong the first time.
After checking in, we went to the Ocean Park.
The Ocean Park is vast. From the Waterfront you have to ride either the cable car or Ocean Express to go to the Summit. A day is not enough to be able to tour the whole place. We went there around 2:00 in the afternoon and stayed until closing time which is 8:30 P.M. and there are still a lot of attractions and shows we missed.

Bursts of color everywhere.

On the second day we went on a city tour.We visited the Avenue of Stars, Aberdeen Fishing Village, Victoria's Peak, Jewelry Factory and Factory Outlet.
The sky is the limit.
Walking in style.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

In the afternoon, it was off to the happiest place in the world. It was a treat for both the kids and kids at heart.
Disneyland Souvenir Shops
Dumbo in the Flights of Fantasy parade.
And they lived happily ever after.
It was great playing tourist for awhile. We learned to ride the MTR during our short stay, haggle at the night market and scour for great finds at Nathan Road. Travelling is a good experience but then, I still have to tour my own country. The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,107 islands and I had only been to three major islands.

It looks like such a beautiful place, though I have to say I'm surprised so much there is in English. Is it like that everywhere in the country, or just big cities and theme parks?
Hi Brandi,
Thanks for the visit! Hong Kong is a city-state island and was a British Colony for 156 years hence the East meets West culture. It's a shopping haven :)
