Discover City Life in Hong Kong Trip - Wong Tai Sin Temple and Snoopy's World (Day 5, 08 Sep - 14 Sep 2012)

Around 10 am, we reached the famous Hong Kong Dim Sum Restaurant - 添好运点心专门店 which awarded with Michelin status. Although the restaurant wasn't opened for business yet, but the queue was quite long. While we were queuing up, we took the order at the same time too by picking what we wanted to eat from the order paper.

After we got our queue number, unfortunately, we were not the first round of customers that can enter into the restaurant. Therefore, we wandered around the shops nearby the Dim Sum restaurant.

Finally it reached our turn to enter into the restaurant, once I stepped in, I realised the answer why we couldn't enter during the first round. In fact, the restaurant only can accommodate 4 - 5 tables of customers, typical Hong Kong restaurant style - small space and crowded!

Overall, the taste of the dim sum we ordered were really tasty and delicious. However, the waitress there was mistakenly took our order twice, and we couldn't cancel it. No choice, we gotta take away the food and served them as our lunch :(

After we fed our hungry stomach with delicious Dim Sum, we headed to 黄大仙祠 Wong Tai Sin Temple. Upon our arrival, out of my expectation that how come it was so crowded with visitors?! (Since that day was not weekend nor public holiday)

Anyway, we did spent some time to worship and hope to gain some good fortune in the future and of course we also did some photo shooting around this temple too!

After we done with worshipping in Wong Tai Sin temple, we took MTR subway to 新城市广场 New Town Plaza. Since I was already in Hong Kong, of course I won't miss the chance to meet my FAVOURITE Snoopy!! Hehe...

The 史奴比开心世界 Snoopy's World is a free entrance playground park located at the outdoor of 新城市广场 New Town Plaza shopping mall. So happy that when we reached there, it was not many people around that area and we can take photo in a very enjoyable way :)

We went to 新城市广场 New Town Plaza shopping mall just for the Snoopy's World, therefore we didn't really spent time to shop around in the mall and directly headed to the next stop.

Discover City Life in Hong Kong Trip - The Peak Tower, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Sky Terrace 428 (Day 4, 08 Sep - 14 Sep 2012)

In the evening, we headed to 山顶凌霄阁 The Peak Tower after visited Ocean Park. On the way of walking from MTR Central station to The Peak Tower, you will pass by some famous landmarks such as 中国银行大厦 Bank of China Tower, 长江集团中心 Cheung Kong Center, 圣约翰座堂 St. John's Cathedral, 圣约翰大厦 St. John's Building. Click here for more information on how to get to The Peak.

After we reached the ticket counter of 山顶缆车 The Peak Tram, we spent quite some time to queue up in order to get into the tram car. After about half an hour, finally reached our turn to ride on The Peak Tram. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes per journey. It was really an amazing experience to ride on the tram car because the tram car track gradient is from 2 degrees up to 27 degrees. So you can imagine how astonishing is the old style tram car that it can climb up a slope hill while having a breathtaking view on the outside from the tram car's window.

山顶缆车 The Peak Tram - 李嘉诚 welcomed us at the ticket counter. Long queue to ride on the tram car :(

Once we reached The Peak Tower, there were some souvenir shops that selling many variety of souvenirs to visitors. Of course, I took the opportunity to get a post card there. Based on my research, there is a post office in The Peak Tower, therefore I can take the chance to sent post card back to my home :)

After that, we headed to 杜莎夫人蜡像馆 Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. In this wax museum, you will see many famous wax figures of celebrities - Pop Stars, Asian Stars, Kung Fu Stars, Hollywood Stars, Sports Stars, Royalty, World Leaders, Cultural Figures, Characters. We spent around 1 and a half hour here and felt quite satisfied as we took photos with almost all the wax figures there :)

After we happily done with photo shooting in 杜莎夫人蜡像馆 Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, we headed to 山顶凌霄阁摩天台 Sky Terrace 428. Coincidentally, we reached there at 8 pm, therefore we had the chance to view the Symphony of Light again!! :) But this time we were viewing on top of the hill.

The last stop in The Peak Tower was the The Peak Tower Post Office. I quickly wrote my post card and purchased stamps from stamp vending machine then sent back to my home :)

Lastly, we queued up quite some time again to take the tram car and back to Wong Kok to have our dinner at 云吞成面食 restaurant and I ate 炸酱面 noodle for my dinner. We went back again to this restaurant, because during that time every bowl of noodle was selling at HKD 13 and we were lazy to find other restaurant for our dinner due to we were too exhausted at end of the day.

I wanted to try out the dessert in Hong Kong, therefore, after we ate dinner and rested a while in the hostel, we went to 许留山 Hui Lau Shan dessert shop to eat dessert. I've ordered their famous mango dessert, the mango was really sweet, yummy!!
