Hello Hong Kong! (Day 3.1) Everything About Ngong Ping | Lantau Island

Image
The Big Buddha On our third day in Hong Kong, I planned to put in our itinerary an adventure to the famous NGONG PING 360! Why? It's because we didn't have cable cars in the Philippines and I wanted to experience riding on one. It is called Ngongping 360 because you'll have a 360° view of the jaw-dropping preserved natural ecological environment of Ngongping area in Lantau Island. Guests will be travelling through a cable car in a 5.7 kilometers stretch between Tung Chung and Ngongping village where famous tourist spots are in place. It's approximately a 25-minute ride each way. How to get there? We traveled by MTR to Tung Chung Station, Exit B. Then just walked towards the adjacent building where the cable car terminal is located. The Ngong Ping Cable Car Experience Foggy view but it's still breathtaking. I pre-booked discounted tickets on Klook to save time and money. TIP: Pick a Crystal cabin cable car (glass bottomed cabin) on the way ...

Hello Hong Kong! (Day 2) Visiting Disneyland On A Rainy Day

Image
It's a new day here in Hong Kong! We're somewhat thankful because the typhoon signal was lowered down to 3. I already bought our tickets online so no matter what happens, we will still go through with our itinerary for today which is on the happiest place on Earth--- DISNEYLAND ! Train to Disneyland with Mickey mouse windows. Cute 😍 How to get there? We took the MTR til Sunny Bay Station then we transferred to  Disneyland Resort line; the train dedicated for guests going to Disneyland. We arrived at around 12 noon. We're definitely hungry so I immediately claimed our tickets in the counter. FYI: 2 years old and below are free . Yayyy! Riri won't have to pay.  We we're actually expecting that there'll be less people for today due to the inclement weather but we're wrong. There's still loads of guests coming in. Unfortunately, because of the storm signal,  only the indoor attractions are operating. I think that's okay rather than clos...

Hello Hongkong! (Day 1) Watching Signal Number 8 Typhoon Merbok At SKY100

A view of Victoria Harbour taken from Sky100 Travelling to another country is one of the things we wish to do at least once in our lifetime. That's why it should be carefully planned ahead of time. This trip is extra special for me because it's my first time to be out of the country plus I'm flying with my family (husband, Riri, Mama & mother-in-law). It all started with a discounted ticket from Cebu Pacific . 😁 I am sure you can all relate. After securing all the tickets, I begun doing my homework. Meaning, I searched, searched and searched everything about Hong Kong like the tourist attractions, hotels, and transportation. I also tried to consider getting a travel agency but I just dont like their itinerary. I don't wanna go on a city tour or on a jewellery factory. That's way out of my interest and I think I won't enjoy it. Additionally, you'll have to pay a tip to the tour guide for each pax each day. So, since we're somewhat a big gro...

A Review: Li Cheng Guesthouse | Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

Image
Hello from Hong Kong!  This is our very first international trip as a family. I made all the arrangements by myself. After booking our flight, I started searching for the best hotels in Hong Kong. I searched online and found in  booking.com  the best deal! I have 4 requirements and  Li Cheng Guesthouse  met all of it.  My Mama and my daughter is excited to rest in our quadruple room after the flight. 1. Cheap We're a family with 4 adult plus a 2-year-old. So, as much as possible I want to look for the cheapest available hotel. It doesn't need to be grand and posh because we're here to explore Hong Kong. That means most of the time we'll be out on the street and we will just need a place to sleep. I got excited when I booked the quadruple room for only 985HKD 4 days 3 nights. Even the host was surprised about the very cheap deal given by  booking.com . Another thing that I like here is that you can pay in cash upon arrival at the hotel if ...
