ShenZhen - GuangZhou - Macau - HongKong!

SORRY FOR THE DELAY! :D

Alright. Here's the long awaited post on my recent 6D5N trip to ShenZhen, GuangZhou, Macau & HONGKONG! ;D

Day 1:
Got up at 4am in the morning. Got ready & off we went to the airport. Our flight was at 8am. Reached HongKong at around 11 plus. Bought some food & off we went. Took a coach to one of the MTR stations, which is equivalent to our MRT station. & ride on the MTR Train before crossing the border over to ShenZhen. This whole journey tires everyone out badly. We had to carry our own luggage up & down flights of stairs. & i was super tired as i dint sleep enough the night before. :C but anyway, we proceeded to visit 中国民俗文化村. & watched two shows over there. The shows were nice but I was dozing off in the theatre as I was too tired. The costumes & the girls were super pretty. But the seats in the theatre is pathetically narrow. People who are sitting at the middle of the rows were having difficulties getting to their seats.

& the night ended with us shopping at DongMen Shopping Street. There's a place which is a mini bugis street, but things are sold at a lower price. somemore can bargain. :D

Day 2:
The tour started with us visiting a jade specialist centre. Then, we proceeded to the Window of the World, where are replicates of most of the world's wonder.

Then, we went on to GuangZhou. Upon arrival at GuangZhou, we went for shopping at Shang Xia Jiu Walking Street to shop! ;D After around an hour of shopping, we went for a night cruise at Zhu Jiang.

Day 3:
Went to visit GuangXiao Temple where there is a oldest Bodhi Tree in China.

After which, we visited the Yuyin Shan Mansion. It used to belong to a family of scholars.

Take note my father's constipated expression. LOL.

Then was to a village which houses the racial group, 白族. They are very nice & warm to us. A very nice group of people. Although they are leading very simple life, they are very contented & happy with their way of living. & FEMALES ARE THE ONE WHO HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD! HAHAHA. ;P

The welcome dance. :)

Then, off we went to ZhuHai. On the way there, our tour guide treated us to pineapple.

*Note the size of the pineapple.

As time was running out, we drove past the Lover Road & Fishwomen statue. & we went on a ferry to Macau. Upon reaching Macau, we visited the Ruin of St Paul's.

& then, to one of the casinos. Walked around inside the casino watching others gamble for awhile before heading outside to the new Fisherman's Wharf. There's nothing much to buy over there. Then, we had dinner & was brought back to the Hotel.

Day 4:
Early in the morning, we left Macau by ferry to HongKong! Visited a jewelry making workshop, then headed to Wang Tai Sin Temple. Then was shopping at Ladies' Street. It is super near the hotel we are lodging in. *YAY-NESS! Soon after, we proceeded to visit Repulse bay.

Then, headed to Aberdeen Fishing Village where we took a boat ride. At the jetty, its like the 1 degree 15 in Sentosa, there are a lot of private ferries 'parked' there.

Then was to Causeway Bay. My brother had a mini photo shoot there. He kept asking me to help him take individual shots. :/ LOL. *points below

& off we went to see the night scenery at Victoria Peak. :D

After which, we proceeded back to our hotels where we checked in our luggage & off we went for our free & easy shopping! HEHEHEH!

Day 5:
Our free & easy day at Hongkong. Started our day with a super filling tim sum feast. Then headed to our first destination, Lantau Island, to visit the big buddha statue on the top of the hill. Took a cable car up there. The cable car ride is around 25minutes long. Took super lots of photos on it, the view from the cable car is pretty. SO GREEN! SO SOOTHING! :D

While waiting for the cable car.

At the buddha statue.

Then, off we went to Citigate, Novotel. There's super big Esprit outlet there. SHIOK SHIOK SHIOK! :D Shopped till the late afternoon then went to take the longest outdoor uphill escalator, then to take a look at Lan Gui Fang, one of the hot spots for pubs & clubs at hongkong before heading to the Avenue of Stars at night.

Then, shopping at ladies' street & 花园街.

Day 6:
The last day at hongkong! :( As my dad couldnt think of anymore things he wanted to visit, we slept in a little later. Then, proceeded to see & hear the Noon Guns. :D It is super loud. My heart almost jumped out when the gun was fired.

Then, went to take a look at ‘打小人‘. Had a hard time finding that place, saw a couple of grannies helping some middle-aged women doing the 'ritual'. & the weather is super hot. i was practically melting man. :/ & we went to do some last minute shopping at ladies' street & back to the hotel to take a short nap before heading to the airport.

Overall, the trip was a fun one. A good shopping trip! :D:D:D:D I WANNA GO HONGKONG AGAIN!

anyway, here's a photo of the immigration card. Notice the underlined words. :/

p.s. YAY! i finally finished this post. :D:D:D:D after proscrastinating for days. there were 403 photos taken during the trip. so here are just some of them. ENJOY! :D
