Day 2 and a half! First on the schedule was Wong Tai Sin Temple. It is one of the most famous shrines in HK. We caught the train there. The weather was still bad, by the way. Luckily, we armed ourselves with brollies.
After checking out the temple, we caught the train again to see the Big Buddha. It's the world's largest outdoor bronze Buddha statue and in order to get there, we had to take a 25 minute trip on Ngong Ping 360 cable car. It was really windy and foggy while we're on it, which was actually quite scary. We couldn't even see the statue due to the fog. It cleared up a bit once we get to the top. We didn't spend much time there since it was almost closing time so we headed back down and went to this outlet mall near the train station. It's called Citygate outlets and it's the largest outlet mall in HK. We didn't buy anything though, just window shopping mostly.
For dinner, we decided to go to Jumbo Kingdom floating restaurant. We caught a bus to Aberdeen and then a small connecting boat to get there. It was quite empty when we were there, maybe its coz it was a bit late and in the middle of the week. We had Peking Duck and something else that I completely forgot hahaha. It was good and the price was roughly similar to Sydney price, but in my opinion, I think BBQ king's Peking duck in Sydney is much better. Maybe because I had my first ever Peking duck there and it set my tastebuds.
