A big sign of the celebration -
Hong Kong returned to China for 20 years
Hong Kong was fun to visit.
There were a lot of bays to hang out, Causeway Bay, Kawloon Bay, Repulse Bay
and Shek O and Stanley Bay. Many shops along with some historical cars and
trams. The Victoria Peak is huge and had good views of the whole Victoria Harbor.
The food was tasty. Golden Bauhinia Square was a celebration that Hong Kong
returned to China. From a small fishing village to an important port is a big
step. But now, Hong Kong is a world famous financial center.

our flight from Seoul. Our hotel was booked at Tsim Sha Tsui, walking distance
to Victoria Harbor. In the morning, the very first thing we chose to do was to start
our eating journey. Some of the celebrated food in Hong Kong such as the wife
cake, roast duck, dim sum, herbal tea, and abalone cooking. We constantly eat variety
of food for a whole morning within a 50-meter distance. Whether it shows how starve we were, or how
tasty the food was? Well, you can tell! One stop was for pan-fried buns in
different flavors, one for wanton noodle, and one for waffles. It was nice to
have a really big brunch.

With our stomachs full, we walked
towards port. There came the famous Victoria Harbor. Many boats rests at the
harbor. Look, a traditional Hong Kong fishing boat is leaving the harbor. We
were so lucky to see it. Lots of high-rise buildings standing along Victoria
Harbor. The weather was sweltering hot, though it was only 25 degrees Celsius.

We rode the Star Ferry to
reach another port, Hong Kong Island. After
a bit walking, we arrived at the Peak Tram. The tram is old. How old it is? It
has been working for more than 100 years. The tram took us to the top of
Victoria Peak. The waiting line for the tram is considered short if you count
30 minutes to get to the ticket booth, then another 20 minutes before you can
get on a tram. On the tram, you can still see the things that the olden people
used to cut down trees. The Victoria Peak is the most famous landmark in Hong
Kong. It is a must see! Here is a tip: At the ticket booth, they will ask if
you want to see the 360 degrees view tower. It isn’t really worth it, because
there is a free trail that gives you the same view. The trail takes you a round
circle around the peak. Walking with lots of plants, and birds around, it is
really pretty. A tall glass building looked like a sword with the sun
reflection on the harbor.

Bauhinia Square contains a valuable sculpture of golden bauhinia flower.
The flower signifies the return of Hong Kong back to China in 1997. Hong Kong was
also ruled by Japan for a little while during World War II. The square is right
next to a conventional center, which happened to have an Asian Cosmetic Exhibition.
The square is always crowded with people.

While enjoying the
yummy food, I’d say the beautiful harbor view is the best. Hong Kong houses the
most skyscrapers in the world, surrounding Victoria Harbor. The Victoria Peak provides
a grand view of the harbor from the mountain top. Riding the Peak Tram is an
interesting experience. The Golden Bauhinia Square indicates Hong Kong’s
history. I love my trip to Hong Kong.
