My First Visit to Hong Kong

Apr 18, 2013

I recently came back from a trip to Hong Kong and Taipei. First up: Hong Kong. Hong Kong is somewhere that I’ve always wanted to visit and just thought that I would do “one day” as its a common stop-over destination. My original plan to go to Taipei for a weekend basically turned into a slightly longer break (it’s quite a long way away) and the chance to visit two cities. I have friends working in HK so had the days to myself to explore and the evenings to catch up with them and go to the restaurants they had discovered – perfect!

Day 1: The first of many HK views.

The cable car to Lantau Island.

The Big Buddha.

Authentic Mulberry products. 

The light show from TST.

The Peak.


Stanley Beach.

Visiting a temple.  

Farewell dinner at Din Tai Fung in Central. Next stop: Taipei!
