Hong Kong Trip Day 2 (17/2/2011) - Part 1

On the next day, we went out from the hotel around 9.00 am to the nearest MTR station – Tai Wo Hau. Panda Hotel is in between two MTR stations which is Tsuen Wan and Tai Wo Hau. However, Tai Wo Hau is the nearest and just 7 minutes away walking.I’ve done some survey before coming to Hong Kong. Inside the Hong Kong Disneyland itself does not provide any Halal food. So, instead of going there early, we made some adjustment with our schedule. There are stories from other blogs recommending us to enter Disneyland after lunch.

So, from Tai Wo Hau MTR, we dropped by at Lai King and switched to Tung Chung line. It’s actually the same route to Disneyland it just that we go for a cable car ride first at Ngong Ping – not far from Tung Chung MTR station. To go to Disneyland, we need to stop at Sunny Bay. By the time we reach there, it was about 9.45 am and the cable car only operated at 10.00 am. One thing that really impressed me was their public transports especially their MTR system. The interchange station was well connected and we don’t have to walk too far away.

Forgot to mentioned, I did follow some advice given by fellow bloggers about the usage of Octopus Card. It really helps. It cost HKD 150 in which HKD50 is the deposit and HKD100 is the value. Once we don’t need it any more, we can return the card back and get refunded. And me myself, for the whole 3 days, I get a total of HKD 61 refund on my last day at the airport.

Back to our cable car ride, the weather was quite breezy and misty. We were informed earlier when we purchase the ticket. But it’s OK for us as we just want to take a look of the scenery and have our lunch there. We spent about two hour at Ngong Ping before going down and headed to Sunny Bay MTR Station.

As for our lunch, we went to Ebeneezer's Restaurant located on top of Ngong Ping. They served middle eastern and indian cuisine. I had Briyani with curry chicken there.From the top of Ngong Ping, we can actually see the sitting Buddha, the Hong Kong Airport and the entire Hong Kong actually.
