Anyway, here's what he thinks about our 4 day HK adventure in December 2013.
-oOo-
Hong Kong is a very nice country. It has
lots of tourist attractions and is very progressive. I had a nice stay in Hong
Kong and I hope I could go to it again.
When I arrived in Hong Kong at the airport,
I was impressed. Their airport was more orderly and efficient than what we have
here in the Philippines. We stayed in the airport for a short time to get our
luggage, and then we took the train to the city.
The train was just like the MRT and LRT,
but it was cleaner and more advanced. Out of the window we could see the cities
Kowloon and Hong Kong. After we had travelled to our destination, we took the
bus to our hotel. The hotel needed 2 hours to accommodate us. While waiting, we
walked through the city for a while. There were lots of trees and many shops
along the streets. The streets were crowded when we walked around. Pedestrians
like us had to wait for the red light to come since most cars don’t stop unless
they see it.
We came to our
hotel later in the afternoon. It had a nice view and was really comfortable to
be in. We stayed there for the rest of the afternoon since we were tired.
The next day, we
went to Disneyland. Going there, we used the train where we got to see more of
Hong Kong. We used the train a lot, since it was probably the best way of
transport around Hong Kong.
We went to
Disneyland on a particularly cold and rainy day, but that didn’t slow us or the
other hundreds of people visiting the same day. We went inside the park and it
was amazing. It had a big fountain with a statue floating on top of it, a giant
castle, a big train and other stuff. We took a few pictures then moved onto the
rides.
The rides were
fun. The first ones we went to were in a part of Disneyland called Tomorrowland.
It had many attractions like racing, a kind of rollercoaster, and lots of
others. We took trains, watched movies and plays, went to lots of rides and had
fun. Although it was nice, Disneyland wasn’t really as amazing as I expected
since it felt more suitable for smaller children and some rides were really
corny.
The next day, we
went to Ocean park. We wanted to try something different from the train, so we
took the ferry. After alighting the ferry, we took a taxi, then a bus, to the
park.
We went to Ocean
Park on a much colder day than when we went to Disneyland. My hands were
starting to get numb, but we went on anyway. It was(in my opinion) better than
Disneyland. We got to see lots of rare sealife like jelly fish, manta rays,
octopuses and much more. We got to go on a really nice cable car which had a
really great view of the islands around Hong Kong. We also took the rides. The
rides were really thrilling. We rode a tower that took us really high, a
rollercoaster which goes upside down and a ride that turns you around really
fast. We could have rode much more if our hands weren’t getting frost-bite.
Soon, we got tired of the cold and went back to our hotel room for a hot bath.
Over-all, Hong Kong is a great place. It is very rich,
despite being a small country I would like to go back there soon.
