The second thing in my "to do list in Hong Kong is a visit to Lung Shing Dispensary in Granville Road.

I've read a lot of good reviews of this store. When we visited, there were a lot of locals shopping. I think we were the only foreigners at that time. 

Lung Shing Dispensary has only one store outlet. It is considered as one of the must go to shops in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

I happen to know about this place by reading forums at Pinoy Exchange. Filipinos in HKG recommended Lung Shing as it is best known for selling the cheapest cosmetic, skin care products, perfumes and so on. Like SaSa and Bonjour, they sell all kinds of international beauty products, from Channel, Dior, Estee Lauder to Japanese or Korean brands like Skin Food and SK-II at the cheapest price over Hong Kong. 

I managed to buy a 50ml Burberry Weekend for only around Php 1,200 when converted (forgot how much it is exactly in HKD).  Lanvin Rumeur 4.5ml for HKD 35 and Flower by Kenzo at HKD 47. 

Next time you happen to be in HKG and crazy about scents, drop by Lung Shing. They only accept cash though. 

Well, that's a good thing. If not, I would have drowned myself to credit card

debt lols.

1. Stayed in a decent 2 star hotel away from the hustle and bustle 

2. Eat in a Cha Chaan Teng. Hung Moon Tea Restaurant. 

3. Buy cheaply priced perfumes at Lung Shing Dispensary. 

4. Visit to 3 H&M stores with their 50-70% off sale. (TST, Mongkok & Central)

5. Goof around Kowloon Walled City Park with their comic stars. 

6. Afternoon Walk at Hong Kong Museum, Clock Tower and Avenue of Stars. 

7. Watched and listened to a young singer perform in the street. 

8. Watched Symphony of Lights

9. Star Ferry ride going to Central. 

10. Rode the Peak tram

11. Went up to Sky Terrace for an almost midnight view of Hong Kong skyline from the peak. 

12. Late dinner at Tsui Wah The Peak

13. Day Tour in Disneyland

14. Dinner and pasalubong shopping at Temple Street. 

15. Side trip to Shenzhen

16. Evening walk in Mongkok

17. Street art photo op in Central / Lan Kwai Fong

18. Tour the city via Ding Ding Tram

19. Come out alive from Ikea's maze like store 

20. Filled my stomach with good food before leaving Hong Kong.

It was both fun and another tiring experience to come back in Hong Kong. When I first went last 2010, it was winter time and Chinese New Year. Coming back last July was a different one. It was Summer, so humid that we didn't get to enjoy our day in Disneyland. I think we enjoyed window shopping more because of the great mark down sale most of the shops offer.

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.
