2010 Hong Kong Trip | Day 1: Ngong Ping 360 & Disneyland

Day 1 Itinerary:

1. Arrival at the airport. Bus towards Tung Chung Station. If I remember correctly, we got into S1 bus and got off at Tung Chung MTR Station. 

I was not a good trip planner back then. Haha. 

We went to McDonald's first to grab breakfast before we took the train to Mong Kok. 

We planned to take a taxi but the officers suggested we take the train instead. 

So off we go and took our first MTR ride in Hong Kong. 

We easily located our hostel and we were glad that we were able to early check in. After settling our bags, off we go and rode a double decker bus going back to Tung Chung to ride a cable car to Ngong Ping 360. 

IKR! We could've left our bags at the station. But we went to Disneyland afterwards so it was all good. 

It was a 25 minute surreal and fun experience. It was winter so the wind was blowing so hard, it was scary. But fun waving back to other tourists passing us on the other side. 

  

Take a look at the Lantau trail below. 

It was winter, Chinese New Year and valentine's day all at the same time.

Climbing the steps to the Golden Buddha. 

And the Buddha emerged from the thick fog. Lucky!

   

We also made our way towards the Wisdom path. 

And to the Po Lin Monastery

We took a bus going back to Tung Chung and rode the super cute Disneyland MTR. 

We didn't buy tickets. Besides we didn't have enough time to squeeze in Disney in our 2 days in HKG. We just went there for the sake of picture taking. Hehe. 

And we're already exhausted from all the walking. 

We called it a night after the light show. Took the MTR again going back to our hostel.
