We dedicated our last day for Lantau Island! We took MTR to Tung Chung, then we queued for around 1 hour plus for the cable car to Ngong Ping Village. Can't believe the queue. There are a few other ways to reach Ngong Ping Village other than cable car, such as taking cab or other public transport. But there is 1 very interesting method: trekking! Yes, trekking haha.. I guess it will take me around 4 hours for one way journey from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping, but I really really really want to try! I think if I ever go to HK again, I will try the trek!

So I work til 1pm, went back home, had lunch, did last minute packing and took a cab to Changi Airport, Budget Terminal. I'm taking Tiger Airways flight to Hong Kong. Again?? Yes! This is a redemption trip due to unfinished and unsatisfied trip from the previous trip in 2010. During the previous trip: I didn't manage to eat local delicacies, I didn't buy anything from local market and Disneyland, I didn't see the riverside promenade, I didn't get to enter casino in Macau. So my travel partner (Steph) travelled earlier than me (1pm flight). We're gonna ... read more
