Today wake up at 12.00 and we get breakfast in the room with some milk and croissant. It takes 1 hour to get ready then we want to go to visit Ocean Park where we can find nice sea creatures performing, 2 giant pandas, delphins and also an area dedicated to the amusement. We take the MTR to get off in Admiralty where there is a bus shuttle to Ocean Park… but before to get on the bus we decide to change our plans cause it’s already 14.00 and today we also would like to see the Giant Buddha so we think we wont have enough time for both. The visit to Ocean Park is to be postponed so we go directly to see the Giant Buddha.
We have to take another MTR directed to Tung Chung. This time the way is more or less half an hour long. We arrive at the MTR station and we find a big commercial center full of outlets of any kind. This city is really full of shops… but we are not there for shopping… but we are hungry so we have a quick lunch in a japanese restaurant. This time food and service are really horrible. But Buddha is waiting for us… and is not that easy to handle. His statue is located on the top of a mountain and from here we discover there are 2 ways to go there… by cable car or by bus. I don’t like the feeling of being suspended in the air for half an hour so we decide to go there by bus also if the way would have been a bit longer. We arrive to the top of the mountain and… it’s there! Buddha! but we are still not done… we can see the statue but there is a long stairs to climb… Sina’s feet are already desperate… But we gotta do it!
We arrive to the top, there is this giant statue of bronze with some people praying.
Meanwhile we listen some loud religious songs… where are they coming from? It’s from the Monastery located close to Bhudda. So we gotta visit also the Monastery! We go there and… it’s nice and quite different then the european religious places.
There is also a small village built nearby here mainly full of souvenirs shops.
At 18.00 it’s getting dark and it’s almost raining. Time to go back, but nice feeling thinking that the mission of today is completed! We take another bus and we decide to stop to the commercial center to check it out. We buy few things and then we take the MTR to go back to The Peak to have dinner in a nice restaurant over there.
After that MTR again to Tsim Sha Tsui where our hotel is located. Here we spend few hours going around the city and checking the other shops in here and after this exhausting day we are back around 23.30.
