Hello there, Its been a long time for the new post! ^^ The blog is abandoned seen I had bundle of tasks recently which is not my wish...Anyway, I have searched some travel destinations to share in this blog, guest what........I choose HONG KONG this time!!
Many people must be heard Hong Kong is very well-known with the night lighting view. The Symphony of Lights is the “World’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show” by Guinness World Records. A stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronized to music and narration that celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong. The show is begin every night starting 8pm. Visitors are able to spend time watching the light show after travel one day long.
With o
100 incredibly life-like wax figures, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong delivers a fun and interactive celebrity experience in which everyone can either become a star, or just compare themselves to the real thing.Not only that, visitors can learn martial arts from Bruce Lee, practice Wing Chun with Donnie Yen, pose with Barack Obama, live the glitz and glamour of the red carpet with Nicole Kidman, hang out with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, shoot hoops with Yao Ming, dance with Lady Gaga, perform some fancy footwork with David Beckham, and feel Andy Lau’s heartbeat. Wow, what a NICE try?!Besides, people can complete the star-studded journey at the Madame Tussauds Hong Kong souvenir shop, which features a full range of souvenirs and gifts; from personalized wax hands, to mini look-alike figurines, 3D glass cubes and many more options.
The Avenue of Stars pays tribute to the names that helped make Hong Kong the ‘Hollywood of the East’, while giving visitors a panoramic view of the city’s most iconic sight. Thanks to the efforts of Hong Kong’s movie industry over the past century, many in Asia and farther afield are familiar with the city’s sights before they have even set foot here. With commemorative plaques, celebrity hand prints, descriptive milestones, movie memorabilia, a life-size statue of kung fu action hero Bruce Lee!
Opened in 1977, Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine-life theme park featuring animal exhibits, thrill rides and shows. In 2012, its impressive ability to offer guests a world-class experience that blends entertainment with education and conservation was confirmed when it became the first Asian winner of the biannual Applause Award, the most prestigious award in the amusement and theme park industry. During festive seasons, Ocean Park Hong Kong will organize special events, such as Halloween Bash, Asia’s biggest Halloween party, and Summer Splash water play activities.
The longest covered escalator system in the world, carrying users over 800 meters in distance and 135 meters in elevation. It is located directly above Central, Hong Kong’s central business district.Now a tourist attraction unto itself, the escalator remains a well-traversed commuter corridor with nearly 43,000 people per day. From 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. it runs downhill, carrying residents to their jobs and errands down in Central. At 10:30 a.m. it changes direction for the rest of the day, bringing tourists and commuters up to the restaurants, shops and residences.The streets directly surrounding the escalator have changed dramatically with an increase in foot traffic and additional commercial space. The neighborhood is now home to trendy bars, cafes, galleries, shops and expensive housing. Additionally, there were many of Hong Kong movies shooting films at the particular place. The movie lovers can take escalator while refreshing the scenes in film at the same time.During travel, people may not miss the local food and beverage for sure. Therefore, I introduce some of them here...
Put Chai Ko-Often translated as ‘sticky rice pudding’, it is typically made of rice flour and red beans. These ingredients are put in a small china bowl. When the pudding sets, it can be removed from the bowl on a small stick and eaten like a popsicle. Modern innovations of this traditional snack have introduced new flavors such as pumpkin and green tea.
Pineapple Bun-Traditionally, pineapple bun contained no pineapple and earned its name because its chequered top resembles the skin of a pineapple. The top half of the bun is made from cookie-type dough, while the bottom is made from Chinese-style bread dough, which tends to be softer and sweeter than Western bread.
Egg Tart-A pastry-crust filled with egg custard and baked. This popular Hong Kong snack probably originates from English custard cakes. Some are made with cookie dough while others have a flaky pastry. The latter are often referred to as Portuguese egg tarts.
Hong Kong Style Milk Tea-Chinese tea culture features strongly in Hong Kong but the local milk tea is a more recent concoction, having only come on the scene in the 1950s. Various blends of Sri Lankan black tea are infused with evaporated or condensed milk. It is called Stocking Milk Tea because it is peculated in a stocking-like filter. The brew is smooth and creamy in texture. Mmm...yummy. ^^
In order to taste the food that I stated above, tourists are able to find it out at Dai Pai Dong. Dai Pai Dong are open-air street-stalls that serve cooked food. The name literally means ‘restaurant with a big license plate’, referring to the large size of the licenses they are issued. Today, the term is applied to all open-air food stalls, and not just the ones with this specific license.Eating at a dai pai dong is truly Hong Kong experience as you will probably end up sharing a table with strangers during busy hours, can cross order from different vendors and are free to watch the local street life.
Dai pai dong can be found almost anywhere in the city. Side streets and lanes are the most likely place to spot them. You can find ones that are decades old near the the Central－Mid-Levels Escalator in Central on Hong Kong Island and in the neighborhood of Sham Shui Po in Kowloon.
p/s: I tend to avoid introducing the shopping attractions in Hong Kong because I guess people are know well enough about that.
