Things must do in Singapore: Hong Kong - Tea Together With Touring

As this weekend was a long 1 nosotros again took the chance to see somewhere reasonably closed from Singapore but a existent trek from the Great Britain too picked Hong Kong.  My fiance has been earlier both every bit a tourist too alongside run but for me it was my outset visit.  Hong Kong had e'er been somewhere I'd wanted to visit, when I was studying for my Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Levels at schoolhouse I had a role fourth dimension project inwards a Chinese takeaway too the household unit of measurement I worked for originally came from Hong Kong.  I tin ship away yell upward them going for a see to see family too bringing me dorsum a gift from their trip which I withal treasure.  At the fourth dimension Hong Kong seemed so far away too a house I was never probable to see .... picayune did I know how my fortunes would alter too I'd survive inwards the seat where it would survive criminal non to!  As nosotros crammed a lot inwards on our trip I'm going to intermission my see downwards into a span of posts too for this post concentrate on our outset day.


First impressions of Hong Kong were that it was great, a picayune crazier than Singapore too definitely a picayune to a greater extent than stone oil some the edges but withal totally accessible too definitely somewhere I'd instruct dorsum to.  People I spoke to beforehand suggested it was the side past times side pace for Asia beginners later Singapore, which is frequently referred to every bit Asia lite too yep from my express travels I'd handgrip alongside that.  Certainly it was no where close every bit mental every bit Bangkok was!  I estimate my solely surprises were that it was bigger than I imagined alongside the peninsula and over 260 islands and, despite it beingness a British Crown Colony upward until 1997, it seemed to cause got retained a lot less of that experience when compared to Singapore.  Other than the usage of English linguistic communication too a lot of the route too house names beingness British inwards origin.  Perhaps I've only been spoilt past times the plethora of colonial buildings inwards Singapore.  Nonetheless though I genuinely thought it was a bully house too best of all nosotros really had a twenty-four hr menses where it was genuinely chilly too I had to wearable a cardigan too could even cause got worn jeans - bliss!


After an unearthly start on the Friday morning too having to dump our bags at the hotel, every bit nosotros were likewise early on to banking concern tally inwards properly, nosotros firstly decided to caput to the Peninsula hotel for tea.  You tin ship away see at that spot for afternoon tea, nosotros were clearly likewise early on for that but my jasmine tea went downwards a treat.  This is a lovely hotel too 1 of the few places that I saw during my brief see that I felt had retained a hint of colonial almost it.  Definitely worth a visit.

We spent much of the residuum of the twenty-four hr menses wandering some the fundamental district of Hong Kong having outset taken the Star ferry from Kowloon (where nosotros were staying). The ferry is public famous too definitely the best agency to instruct to the other side of the harbour every bit a tourist, it was a flake bumpy at times too on twenty-four hr menses 2 of our trip distinctly chilly but fun. The views of the famous Hong Kong skyline also instruct inwards good worth the trip.



The architecture inwards the Central Business District of Hong Kong is only every bit impressive every bit that of Singapore's alongside skyscrapers housing diverse banks, fiscal institutions too shopping malls gleaming from the shoreline of Hong Kong island.  I rattling chop-chop noticed that only similar Singapore at that spot is e'er a shopping mall closed past times (even at the go past times of the peak at that spot is a shopping mall).  Some of the most noticeable buildings include the Bank of mainland People's Republic of China Tower, which tin ship away survive seen inwards the moving-picture present below.  It is the one alongside what looks similar triangles all over it rising to a betoken at the go past times of the building.  The edifice is really regarded every bit having bad feng shui too is said to cause got an aggressive opinion which casts bad energies on nearby buildings.  Apologies also for the character of the picture.  My black pictures of the thought solely seem to cause got been taken indoors (mainly from bars ahem) too cause got all got some reflection inwards them but hopefully y'all tin ship away instruct an thought of the view!  The rattling tall edifice is the Two International Finance Centre too is Hong Kong's tallest building.




After such an early on start nosotros were pretty tired but alongside such a brusque remain had to brand the most of our trip too nosotros needed to swallow too.  On recommendations from others we firstly went to a bar on the Kowloon side called Aqua Spirit.  This house has fantastic views across the harbour towards the skyscrapers too is hence a perfect spot to spotter the nightly Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation too calorie-free show.  I really enjoyed the present on the instant black to a greater extent than (I intend nosotros had a amend view) but I wasn't every bit blown away alongside it every bit I thought I powerfulness cause got been.  However the drinks were skillful too even after the show had finished the skyscrapers hold back stunning at night.

Following our drinks nosotros too so headed to the eatery attached to the bar called Aqua.  Here y'all tin ship away relish either Italian or Japanese food, Aqua Roma or Aqua Tokyo.  We settled for Italian too enjoyed the thought below over our repast too wine. Divine.
