Day 7, it's time to leave Shenzhen and head for the last destination, HK

having breakfast at beef noodle store in the wet market, smell great every time I passed it


25 rmb, cheap2 delicious beef slices and beef balls great food to start the day


bought the train ticket a couple of days, and I didn't realized the station of departure..
end up when we tried to get into the station, the gate wouldn't let us pass and when the manual counter check it, they mentioned there's no train reservation from the station..this is where i realized, i fucked up
because too lazy to take the subway or taxi to the right station, so we just burned the ticket and buy a new one on the spot from the 12306 train app
finally in the shenzhen bei station, another huge ass station but I think not as big as the Guangdong one


high speed rail from shenzhen bei to kowloon west station was a fast one, less than 20 min ride..and we are out in somewhere walking toward Austin station
underground IKEA


this time staying right in front of Tsim Sha Tsui MRT exit for convenience


late lunch, roast goose, siew yok and salted egg, delicious


ipoh style chee cheong fun? some har gao and siew mai, not bad, the food was good


at this point, we saw the first non-verbal DLLMSPKHKC expression from the tauke at some PRC that rejected his suggestion to join table with others
anyway, quickly ate and paid and got the fk out of there, wanted to see whether we could survive HK for 3 days without getting Diu


after lunch, we headed toward the peak.

bank of china


sunday, HK domestic worker off day






queue for the peak tram is crazy, super long.
with octopus card, you can skip the ticket purchase queue and go straight to the queue for the tram.
ideally you want to grab a seat on the right side of the tram, but even better if you can't get a seat, stand by the door and have fun going up a steep angle and have all the best view for yourself


well all they can see is my back


tram view of the local high rise


neons


cloudy and slight rainy weather, cooling but view isn't as great


peak of central from the trail

great view




escalator upon escalator


to go up, queue super long, to go down, queue also super long, but taxi would be happy to take your money to send u down


pics of the city at night










Kwan Kee Claypot Rice
the queue look short but damn wait time super long, IMO not worth 1 hour queue

side story before the end..
upon reaching kowloon side, we went for mcd ice cream, i think it was pineapple flavour cone ice cream..
wew the old auntie manning the counter was cheeky af

wife was gonna pay for the ice cream and the auntie wouldn't let her pay and jokingly insist that I pay it
auntie asked my wife in cantonese where I was from, but my wife being sumandak sabah have no idea wtf she was talking about

she said once she hear my canton, she knew i wasn't local, okay...i know my canton suck far2...
and when the ice cream was done, instead of handing it to me who was the nearest the the counter, she gave it to my wife instead and said ladies first

such a great way to end day 7, cheeky HK auntie

dayum, fast poke af

not in vain, immortalized in my memory and digital form taken from an iPhone 15 Pro

don't know about it, actually for HK i kinda just randomly open the dianping and see closest restaurant around and just choose from one

got link to it?

janji tered berquality

first time here, i felt like the city frozen in time if compared to the other neighbouring cities.
hopefully not the last time because waifu ban HK when I ask her to rate the entire trip by the cities we visited

memang frozen in time. but there's the kinda of vibe to it compared to chinese city. cities like shenzhen n guangzhou idk somehow gave diff vibe, like a bit too "clean"

i never kena Diu during my 3 days there, a mix of friendly ppl and plain annoyed and hate their pigeonhole life ppl

yes, wtf...it's everywhere..i saw there's even like law or something with fine that ban this ac drips, but it's just dripping everywhere.

yes, very nice! same like our MY beef noodle taste, gooding with extra sweetness from the big radish




DLLM for spending money here, for coming into my supermarket..for even existing

ya, star ferry

True, shit place shit ppl shit exp also

But for ppl that live in JP, China > Japan for travel
RegentCid would agree

Bakso pulak

Slide down with so many tourist, PRC and katchat

KDM?

Glad it was entertaining enough for you to go through all of them
With that much social credit point I probably can go shake hand with XJP on my next visit

U should really try them, taste like cucumber, no joke LOL

Oh, kadazan

yea, food here ain't cheap, comparable to eating out in JP

haha, same like my wife, straight ban HK
maybe she got too used to the service in JP, go HK/SG shopping she was complaining
i was expecting worst but quite pleasantly surprised that it's much friendlier

becoz kachat places said to have the best food


already came back to JP a week+ ago, maybe next round

the last thread is up enjoy!
