I ♥ Disneyland - Hong Kong (2013) - 03-02-2013

Hong Kong Disneyland Even though I've been to Disney Hong Kong before, my excitement level was through the roof on this visit! There's just something magical about anything Disney that brings out the inner child in me. As soon as I stepped foot into the park, I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. I felt like shouting, "I'M IN HONG KONG DISNEYLAND!!!" It's a dream come true for me, and I couldn't be happier. Despite being the smallest Disneyland in the world, Hong Kong Disneyland remains one of the most popular destinations in Hong Kong for a reason. It offers a delightful experience for both kids, who can immerse themselves in the wonders of Fantasyland, and adults, who have the opportunity to relive their cherished childhood memories. Hong Kong Disneyland is divided into several zones, with the junction located right in front of the enchanting Sleeping Beauty Castle. On the right, you'll find Tomorrowland, while Adventureland awaits on the left. Direc

I ♥ Ocean Park Hong Kong 03-03-2013

Ocean Park Hong Kong Ocean Park Hong Kong - located at Aberdeen, Hong Kong cannot be compared to Enchanted Kingdom in the Philippines because Ocean Park Hong Kong is much bigger and you won't finish visiting all the rides and amusement in one day. Plus, based on our experience, we end with a sore feet trekking the park.  Ocean Park is divided into two areas - The Waterfront and The Summit. Both these areas are separated by a mountain. To get from The Waterfront to The Summit and vice versa, there are two modes of transportation - either the cable car or the Ocean Express train. First thing we visited was the Giant Aquarium, The Atoll Reef. It is a four-storey high aquarium holding more than 2,000 fish from 250 different species, including the Black Spotted Sting Ray, for which a second generation was successfully bred at Ocean Park. My eyes was filled with amazement while I walk towards the big caverns full with different species of aquatic animals. Next stop was a visit

I ♥ Peak Tram Hong Kong 03-01-2013

Peak Tram Hong Kong The peak itself is a 5/5 must do experience but you would be better off catching the bus or if you are fit walking up to the peak. But I will definiely suggest to try it during summer because of poor visibility. It is  the fastest route at 10 minutes from the lower level terminus to the top. The history behind the tram and the steep angle at which you travel is pretty awesome. However, we really hated the horrific queues at either terminus. It doesn't matter if you buy your tickets directly at the counter or if you buy online or if you use an octopus card. There are NO priority lanes.  When you get to the top, you then go up to the top floor of the tramway station, where the observation deck is. Looking down the steep hillside on Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour and Kownloon is spectacular, even when visibility is poor. If you like to hike or walk distances, you can then follow Lugard Road around the summit of the peak - it's about 6
