Hong Kong is really suitable for travel, and you can enjoy it like this
Hong Kong is really great for long walks.
I went to the Peak again today. There was sunshine when I set off, but the weather changed as soon as I got off the bus. Still, it was very beautiful.
I feel like I haven't been here enough. Checked in at the new cable car photo spot.
🚗 The Peak transportation: Exit C1 at Admiralty Station, transfer to New Bus No. 15 to the Peak Square (terminal station)
🎫 Cable car: The round-trip fare for adults is 88 Hong Kong dollars, and the one-way fare is 62 Hong Kong dollars (half price for children and the elderly)
Recommendation: Take the bus up the mountain and the cable car down
In the evening, I went to Temple Street for clear soup beef brisket noodles, which were really super delicious. The radish was very sweet (not the pickled kind, but fresh radish, so sweet that I wanted to ask the restaurant for a raw one). The brisket was not fatty, the fatty parts melted in the mouth, and the lean parts were very tender. For the exact location, you can refer to:
📍Shop C, Wing Hing Building, 36-40 Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong
🚗 Transportation: Yau Ma Tei MTR station Exit C
🎫 Price: 45 Hong Kong dollars/bowl
After finishing the noodles, I was planning to take the subway back, but seeing that the hotel was only 1.7 kilometers away, I decided to walk back, which felt very comfortable.
Tonight I'm staying at the Royal Plaza Hotel in Mongkok, which is right above a shopping mall and the Mongkok East MTR station, making shopping and transportation very convenient.
The hotel rooms are quite spacious, with standard rooms having two 1.5-meter beds, which is rare in Hong Kong.
One unique feature of this hotel is that the gym offers sportswear and sneakers for borrowing.
🚗 Transportation: Mongkok East MTR station
Additionally, the hotel restaurant's Cantonese dim sum is very tasty.

Christmas Attraction #7: Big Bear for Christmas
Royal Plaza hotel has a giant bear with Christmas ornaments during the Christmas festive. You can find it in the hotel lobby, which is very attractive due to its size and color. It’s a big cute toy that attracts visitors to capture the bear or take a photo next to/in front of it. This Christmas attraction is near MTR Mong Kok East, beside Moko Mall in Mong Kok. You can access the hotel through the mall.

I stayed at the Royal Plaza Hotel for two nights each, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The main reason is that three of the staff, Eric Tang, Matthew Ng and Keith Kwan, have first-class service attitude, and the staff are polite and kind. It is efficient at check-in and has the patience to answer our questions. In addition, it also helped us solve the difficulties encountered when using the self-check-out robot.
When we first went to the Royal Plaza Hotel, we stayed in the lobby to find nearby places and restaurants. A staff member asked us if we needed help and provided us with many good suggestions. And when I stayed at the hotel for the second time, the staff carefully noticed that I had brought a cake, and asked me if I needed to put it in the hotel refrigerator before arranging the staff to deliver it to the room, which made me feel very relieved.
Thanks to the staff for making me make good memories on every trip.

Long-standing Popular Japanese Buffet Restaurant
Ten Dai Ki Ya has been open for quite some time, but it's always packed whenever I pass by! So it's best to make a reservation in advance to reduce waiting time! For just over 300 HKD per person, you can enjoy unlimited food and drinks. The variety of food is extensive, and the must-eat items include sea urchin, toro, crab legs, and even caviar! The value for money is excellent!
There are also various sashimi, sushi, rolls, skewers, tempura, hot pot, desserts, and more. After placing an order on your phone, the food is delivered within a few minutes, very efficient!
There are many types of sashimi, including toro, salmon, yellowtail, scallops, red shrimp, and snow crab legs! There are also many types of sushi and rolls, and the highlight is definitely the sea urchin sushi, all made to order! Recently, they have introduced a new sea urchin toro cod roe hand roll, which looks amazing and is a must-try!
The hot dishes are also very appealing, such as Typhoon Shelter-style fried crab, drunken abalone with Huadiao wine, braised fish maw in golden broth, abalone and mushroom rice, grilled oysters, and more. The quality is really good for a buffet!
The self-service area offers cold seafood, hot dishes, appetizers, fruits, alcoholic beverages, desserts, and ice cream! You can eat unlimited Haagen-Dazs and Movenpick ice cream! There are also many homemade desserts, my favorite being the coconut bird's nest egg white pudding, which is fragrant, sweet, and delicious, truly enjoyable until the last second!

Tantalisingly delicious smells, more to Sonia Coffee than just coffee
Be prepared to be enticed by the tantalisingly delicious smells coming from this cafe.
It's almost always full during mealtimes. Even during the in between times before lunch or dinner there's a constant stream of customers.
There's a 60 min seating time, meals need to be finished within 60 mins. It's a quaint cafe with only a few tables so queues can build up.
My family were definitely lured in by the delicious smells emanating from here.
Managed to snag a table at around 3+ pm (and there was still a 5 min short wait for a table).
The Sonia's all day breakfast did not disappoint. Packed with so much food that was almost bursting over the plate, everything on it was scrumptious. The croissant was rich, buttery and flaky, ticking all the boxes for a good croissant. Salad and it's dressing just nice to balance out the meal. Hidden under the salad and bacon was a juicy, tender, teriyaki chicken. The scrambled eggs were done nicely and my kids loved the tamago and smoked salmon. A winning dish, for sure.
The mentaiko shrimp tomato cream pasta however, won over the entire family. Flavourful, creamy tomato based pasta that tickled all the right taste buds. A beautiful balance of sweet, sour and savoury, the portions were good enough for us all to steal huge helpings from my husband.
Their signature pudding came in a cute, tiny, elevated dish and was creamy, custardy and melt in your mouth good.
This meal was so good we stopped by for takeaway the next day (ready in 10 mins!) on the way back to the Royal plaza hotel. A good deal cos they had 25% off on their takeaway menu.
I definitely vouch for the tomato based pastas- Mentaiko shrimp and kissaten napolitan(1 is seafood & the other sausages + tomato). The garlic butter scallop pasta was a bit of a miss for us. Couldn't match the creamy tomato based pastas.

Exquisite Royal Afternoon Tea
I've had many three-tiered English afternoon teas and tried several Chinese afternoon teas, but I've never seen anything as extravagant as this royal-themed one.
Recently, I had a royal dinner at the Lion's Room in the Royal Plaza Hotel and was deeply impressed by the chef's creativity and the flavors of the dishes. When I heard that the hotel was now offering a royal afternoon tea, I knew I had to make time to visit.
I was lucky to get a window seat that day, enjoying the afternoon tea while gazing at the Lion Rock view—it was truly a delightful experience.
As a regular at the Royal Plaza, I know the chef's meticulous attention to detail in dish design, and the drinks are no exception. The hawthorn jasmine milk tea with milk foam not only looks appealing but also features dried hawthorn skewered with a hairpin to maintain the royal theme. Another drink, the longan red date goji tea, is nourishing and beautifying, and the tea set is also quite exquisite—very impressive.
Next, the staff brought out a large platter of food with a strong ancient flavor, both savory and sweet, with an impressive presentation that excited me even before tasting.
The savory sake abalone with plum wine jelly radish was tender and not chewy, exuding a hint of sake aroma. The plum wine jelly at the bottom was smooth and refreshing.
A heap of crab meat and caviar on cucumber, with the sweetness of the crab meat complementing the salty freshness of the caviar, and the crisp sweetness of the cucumber elevating the small savory bite to a higher level.
Two crispy toasts sandwiching lobster, simple and delicious.
There were simple and straightforward lobster toasts, as well as unexpected puffs. The chef ingeniously mixed Spanish pork with truffle salad and stuffed it into the puffs, combining a chewy texture with the refreshing salad for a surprising taste.
Then came two small bites with a royal appearance, one savory and one sweet. The savory cumin beef puff had a well-made crust with just the right amount of cumin aroma. The sweet matcha custard lava cake had a Chinese presentation and felt like eating a matcha custard mooncake—quite interesting.
The next few pieces were all sweet treats. The lychee pudding was shaped exactly like a lychee, with a white chocolate shell encasing a smooth pudding. One that looked like a lion's jade seal was a black sesame cake, with a QQ texture and a rich sesame flavor.
Finally, the most eye-catching 'brush'! Opening the brush box, light smoke wafted out, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The brush tip was actually a purple sweet potato mochi puff, with a great texture, and dipping it in the black honey syrup 'ink' added a unique flavor.
Overall, this royal afternoon tea is very Instagrammable, yet it doesn't sacrifice taste for appearance. I truly admire the head chef's skills.

Delicious and artistically presented Chinese cuisine.
Located in a mid-to-high-end Chinese restaurant within a hotel, 'Lion's Cuisine' specializes in modern Chinese dishes prepared with innovative cooking techniques. The restaurant offers a high-end, comfortable, and stylish environment that feels like a Western restaurant. The lunch set menu offers great value for money, with several different price options to choose from. Each set includes six to seven dishes, enough for two to three adults. From ingredients to presentation, everything is meticulously crafted, providing a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. This is not my first visit, and the quality remains consistently high.

A Royal Date at Royal Plaza Hotel
Tonight, I dined at the Lion's Court and enjoyed a royal feast. Let me be the queen for a night.
The first course of the Lion's Court Feast (Health and Wellness Nine Courses) is Tea Garden ~ Bird's Nest, Lychee, and Tofu Pudding! The snowy white appearance and the royal tea cup make it irresistible.
The homemade tofu pudding is smooth and silky, paired with sweet lychee and nourishing bird's nest, making it a perfect combination. After eating, you can feel the moisturizing and beautifying effects.
The Collection ~ Vegetarian Dumplings, Braised Duck Tongue, Oil-Braised Bamboo Shoots, and Osmanthus Pork Belly! One serving allows you to taste three different appetizers with varying textures and flavors, served in exquisite antique-style dishes that are visually appealing.
The translucent vegetarian dumplings are filled with lion's mane mushrooms, assorted mushrooms, and white truffle sauce. The crispy fried lion's mane mushrooms add a crunchy texture, and the assorted mushrooms and white truffle sauce make the dumplings fragrant.
The osmanthus pork belly is made with tender pork belly, roasted to perfection, and drizzled with sweet maltose and fragrant osmanthus. It's so delicious that it surpasses ordinary char siu. Chef Jiang has spoiled my taste buds again.
The braised duck tongue and oil-braised bamboo shoots are made with seasonal bamboo shoots, cordyceps flowers, wood ear mushrooms, and soy sauce. The bamboo shoots are crisp and fragrant, and the duck tongue is cooked with a secret sauce, making it a delightful experience for your taste buds.
Enamel ~ Cabbage, Fish Maw, and Tofu Soup! Using tofu favored by Emperor Qianlong, the rich broth is paired with tender tofu, cabbage, and soft fish maw, making the hot and flavorful soup very comforting.
Imperial ~ Bean Paste, Chestnut, and Emperor Fish! Under the fish net is a pan-fried halibut, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with mushroom sauce, chestnut, assorted mushrooms, tofu puffs, new pork, and asparagus, all stir-fried together. The secret sauce made with fermented bean curd and cherry blossom chili sauce makes it incredibly delicious.
During the intermission, we were served a cup of Emperor Qianlong's favorite drink, Sanqing Tea! The tea is sweet and fragrant, with a clear and pleasant taste.
Among the five wines, we have already tasted champagne and white wine. Next, there will be Chinese wine, red wine, and dessert wine, ensuring a delightful evening.
After the Sanqing Tea, the waiter brought Shanxi Xinghuacun Qinghua Fenjiu. The wine is crystal clear, fragrant, and pure, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Those who love strong liquor must try it.
Guard ~ Fried Shrimp! Fresh shrimp is coated in batter and fried until fragrant, served with a sauce made of ginger, scallions, garlic, and black vinegar, along with caramelized pineapple and pickled ginger. The pickled ginger is tender and flavorful, and the shrimp is bouncy and sweet and sour, making it a very appetizing dish.
Abalone and Fish Maw ~ Pan-fried Golden Oyster and Braised Abalone! The golden oyster and abalone are skewered with delicate hairpins, looking like precious treasures.
The pan-fried golden oyster emits a fresh ocean aroma, and the braised abalone is flavorful, lightly pan-fried with Sichuan pepper oil, adding a spicy taste. Paired with mildly spicy lobster sauce, this dish is a true taste of the sea.
Lotus Breeze ~ White Jade, Duck, and One Dish! The main ingredient is fire-roasted duck, paired with winter melon, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, goji berries, and morel mushrooms, creating a delicious combination of light and rich flavors.
Soup Noodles ~ Half-cooked Melon, Tripe, and Scallion Oil Noodles! The broth is made with dried shrimp, ginger, and preserved vegetables, resulting in a milky white soup, served with bitter melon slices, pork tripe, and garlic, paired with Shanghai thick noodles. The sweet and savory flavor makes it irresistible, even if you're full.
Seal Print ~ Jade Seal Cake is essentially a pistachio white chocolate mousse cake! Inside the majestic jade seal is a crispy pistachio layer and sponge cake, making it smooth and delicious. Paired with pistachio crumbs and pistachio vanilla sauce, it becomes even more fragrant.

Lady’s Light @ Lion’s Cuisine
The recent popular TV cooking competition featured my favorite Chef Bosco and Master Chef Siu Yee, making my mouth water! It turns out that the hotel has combined the competition dishes into the Royal Plaza Hotel x Royal Park Hotel 'Star Partner Joint Feast.' As a fan, I had to go and pay homage.
That night, I gathered a group of beautiful ladies and went to Lion’s Cuisine at the Royal Plaza Hotel for a night of Lady’s Light to enjoy star-rated cuisine.
Such a wonderful atmosphere calls for a bottle of fine wine to enhance the mood! Luigi Righetti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019, with its charming woody aroma and notes of chocolate and jam, pairs perfectly with the star-rated dishes, making the experience intoxicating.
The first dish, named 'A Taste,' was crafted by Master Chef Siu Yee using six different wines! This included Beer Fish Maw Jelly, Sake Flower Crab with Lettuce Shreds, Cognac Lobster Salad Roll, Moutai Pepper Squid, Aged Huadiao Braised Sea Cucumber, and Burgundy Slow-cooked Winter Melon.
The Beer Fish Maw Jelly, with its beer-scented smooth foam, was a delightful surprise. The beer honey jelly tightly embraced the smooth and nourishing fish maw, making even a non-beer lover like me surrender.
The Sake Flower Crab with Lettuce Shreds was also very appealing with its fresh crab meat, sweet and sour pomelo, and savory dried scallops, paired with crisp lettuce shreds and a special sake yuzu sauce. Each bite was refreshing and delightful.
The Cognac Lobster Salad Roll featured fresh lobster in a homemade crispy cone, accompanied by Caesar salad. A spray of fragrant cognac before serving elevated the lobster salad to a new level.
The Moutai Pepper Squid was super to my taste! The squid was pan-fried to a crispy perfection, then seasoned with Moutai, pepper oil, fried garlic, and salt and pepper, making this appetizer irresistibly delicious.
The Aged Huadiao Braised Sea Cucumber was perfect for those who love rich flavors! The braised sea cucumber from Kansai was smooth and flavorful, paired with aged Huadiao and a special sauce, making it a delight to eat.
The Burgundy Slow-cooked Winter Melon, made with beetroot and red wine, imparted a unique grape and vegetable aroma to the winter melon, making it so delicious that even the sauce was completely consumed.
After the rich first appetizer, we were greeted with 'Serenity' Agaricus Blazei Murrill and Bitter Melon Tea!
The tea, served in a purple clay teapot, had a rich and sweet aroma from the Agaricus Blazei Murrill and dried longan, with no bitterness from the bitter melon. Even those who don't eat bitter melon could enjoy it without worry.
Next, we tasted three dishes by Chef Bosco. 'Garden' Pumpkin Bamboo Fungus Vegetarian Mille-feuille, combining pumpkin, bamboo fungus, and tofu, offered a multi-layered texture of smooth, crisp, and tender, paired with sweet and green spinach sauce, making it a truly spectacular dish.
'Clouds' Applewood Smoked Goose Toast! Featuring roasted goose pieces, toast, and crispy goose skin, topped with goose meat floss and crispy roasted goose skin, mixed with homemade snow vegetable sauce and smoked with applewood, this dish was a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
'Flying Orioles' Boiling Pan-fried Boneless Horsehead Fish! The dish, filled with a mysterious peppery aroma, used rich horsehead fish, pan-fried to a crispy skin and tender meat, accompanied by pickled vegetables and a special sour and spicy fish soup. This layered version of pickled fish was incredibly delicious.
'Encounter' Alaskan Crab Meat Cauliflower Rice was Master Chef Siu Yee's specialty! Made with finely chopped broccoli and cauliflower to create faux rice, paired with flavorful Alaskan crab meat, it allowed us to enjoy this 'rice' dish without any guilt.
At this moment, two desserts, 'Frosty Beauty' and 'Imperial Black,' were served! Just the appearance was enough to make dessert lovers' hearts flutter.
Master Chef Siu Yee's Taro Rice Noodle Roll looked incredibly realistic! Made with glutinous rice flour, wheat starch, cornstarch, coconut milk, and milk, filled with a thin layer of smooth taro paste, and topped with chocolate sauce and peanut butter, it became a sweet version of rice noodle roll, smooth and sweet, simply adorable.
Chef Bosco's Pink Guava Yogurt Soup was also impressive! Made with pink guava and yogurt into a sweet soup, with guava pieces and sago added for texture, it was a delicate sweet and sour dessert, perfect after a meal.
The Star Partner Joint Feast is priced at $880 per person, now available at a discounted price of $780 per person (for four or more people). It is available from now until September 30, 2024, at Yat Heen of Royal Park Hotel, Lion’s Cuisine, and Royal Plaza Hotel’s Royal Plaza Chinese Restaurant (remember to book three days in advance).

Royal Plaza Hotel in Hong Kong
Hong Kong family trip. Suitable for small families, a five-star hotel
The Royal Plaza Hotel is located on Tai Zi Road West in Mong Kok, connected to the Mong Kok East MTR station and also through to the Moko shopping mall (Moko). The location is quite superior for me. It's less than a 10-minute walk to Mong Kok station, and it's all along the pedestrian bridge, so there's no fear even when it rains.
Moko shopping mall also has quite a few dining options, but the prices are a bit astonishing. Passing through the hotel to the pedestrian bridge, you will reach the bustling area of Mong Kok. There are snacks if you want snacks, restaurants if you want restaurants, and convenience stores if you want convenience stores, which is very convenient. The famous Coconut King and Kam Wah Cafe are also in this area.
The decoration of the hotel and the overall comfort of the rooms are also quite good. The room type I booked was a Deluxe Family Room with two 1.5-meter double beds, and the room size is 355sqft, which is quite large for Hong Kong. The hotel also provides a baby crib and baby bathtub, as long as you request them in advance from the hotel.
Two adults and two children stayed for two nights for a total of RM1,300 including tax, which is less than RM650 per night. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend it to small families on a family trip.

Finally Got to Enjoy the Great Satisfaction of Dining at Tenkai House
I had booked a month in advance to try Tenkai House, and today was finally the day! However, due to the crowd, I could only book the 8:30 slot! Upon arrival, the entrance was already packed with people waiting to get in, and of course, the inside was fully occupied with diners.
The self-service area is right at the entrance, with a wide range of drinks available, both hot and cold, homemade beverages, and even alcoholic drinks, with dozens of options.
There are appetizers, seafood, hot dishes, dim sum, fruits, and more to choose from before the meal. The highlights include smoked salmon, smoked duck breast, and dried sausages.
Before the sashimi was served, I had already tried chicken feet, duck kidneys, fish skin, snail meat, steamed fish, fried items, drunken abalone with Huadiao wine, and the must-try Hokkaido sea urchin sushi! It's worth mentioning that all the sea urchin here comes from Hokkaido, and it's definitely worth having a few more pieces!
The sashimi is as always thickly cut and fresh. Salmon, yellowtail, tuna, red shrimp, sweet shrimp, scallops, ark shell, and red clam are all rich and sweet. Coming here, you can truly enjoy the freedom of sashimi!
A special recommendation is the grilled oysters; each oyster at this branch is as big as a palm, plump and juicy, with plenty of crispy fried garlic on top. We ordered two dozen without any missing, and they were quickly devoured.
The thick grilled goose liver is also a highlight and a must-try! Eel, pineapple, beef tongue, and lobster with Yimen noodles are also must-tries. Basically, after eating all of the above once, you're already 80% full. For the remaining time, I suggest an encore of your favorite items!
Scallop with pea shoots, supreme fish maw, signature pigeon king, grilled codfish, and more are all outstanding, with flavors that match those of outside Chinese restaurants!
Our main encores were grilled oysters, beef tongue, sea urchin sushi, and sashimi! The main focus of the sashimi encore was toro, and the second serving of toro was mostly medium toro, all pink in color, each piece very rich and melt-in-your-mouth. After finishing this plate of toro, I was truly greatly satisfied.
Finally, for dessert, there was an array of ice creams, ice pops, and homemade sweets. Cheesecake, yogurt, mango pomelo sago, coconut pandan cake, sawdust pudding, macarons, and the special mousse cake from this branch were all available~ But my favorite was definitely the coconut stewed bird's nest and durian puree. No need to spit out seeds, just enjoy the flesh, it's really the best~
This branch is spacious and comfortable, with wide seating, often visited by groups for gatherings. If you've tried other Tenkai House branches, consider trying this one as well!!!

After walking 20,000 steps in Hong Kong's Citywalk, I'm grateful for the Royal Plaza Hotel as a place to rest
Hong Kong is truly a city well-suited for Citywalk, with so many beautiful sights and delicious foods to document. Every visit to Hong Kong involves walking tens of thousands of steps, so finding a hotel that is conveniently located, quiet, and comfortable is very important.
The first recommended check-in spot is the West Kowloon Cultural District, where the Hong Kong Palace Museum and M+ Museum are located. If you're short on time, you can opt for the Xiqu Centre; the rooftop of its atrium is simply perfect for photography! There's also a corner leading to the seaside where you can witness the sunset over Victoria Harbour.
Taking photos at the Peak is also stunning, offering a bird's-eye view of Victoria Harbour.
For accommodation, I recommend the Royal Plaza Hotel, which is convenient to get to anywhere. Right below is a shopping mall and the Mong Kok East MTR station. Coming out of the mall, there's a bus terminal where you can capture the beautiful red double-decker buses.
In the pricey real estate market of Hong Kong, this hotel's room size is relatively large, with standard rooms featuring two 1.5-meter beds and a bathroom with a bathtub. It's said that often four friends will share a room, splitting the cost, making it cheaper than a budget hotel. The hotel also has a temperature-controlled swimming pool and a gym with a full range of equipment, and you can even borrow workout clothes and shoes.
The hotel's restaurant is also impressive. For the third time, Chef Jiang Zhaoqi leads the Chinese culinary team with his unique skills to interpret his understanding of Eileen Chang's 'private' thoughts in the Lion Room cuisine, launching the new 'Eileen Feast.' Themed around the legendary literary figure Eileen Chang, the menu is inspired by her life and works, creating many stunning dishes.
'The Award-Winning Signature. Star-Level Banquet' is also worth trying, with dishes like Crispy Eel and Fresh Mushroom, Coconut Flavored Huai Shan Glutinous Rice Dumplings, and 'Typhoon Shelter' Style Urine Shrimp Har Gow winning the Gold Award at the 2023 Hong Kong International Culinary Classic.

Hong Kong customs clearance! Here's a brief account of my 24 hours in Hong Kong
Departed from Guangzhou South at nine o'clock, taking the high-speed train🚅 which only takes 1 hour to reach Hong Kong🇭🇰, incredibly convenient.
Arrived at Kowloon West at ten o'clock.
Since the border just opened, there were very few people and it took about fifteen minutes to complete the 'one place, two inspections'.
Exited the station at eleven o'clock and went from Kowloon West to the Emperor Hotel in Mong Kok East to check in.
Before twelve o'clock, headed to Garden Street in Mong Kok to find food, casually picked a local tea restaurant to have a long-missed bowl of Wonton Noodles🍛.
From thirteen to fourteen o'clock, walked through Ladies' Street, Goldfish Street, and Flower Market Road, exploring the most beautiful street views along the way🌸.
From fifteen to sixteen o'clock, went to Sha Tin Plaza to enjoy (taste) an afternoon tea.
At seventeen o'clock, strolled around Sha Tin Plaza and the Snoopy's World🐼.
At eighteen o'clock, it was time for dinner, went to Tai Hing, a place loved by locals, for an authentic roast meal🍱.
At nineteen o'clock, took a double-decker bus to Tsim Sha Tsui to see the night view of Victoria Harbour, with few people and available seats, definitely choose the front row on the second floor for an excellent view🚎.
At twenty o'clock, arrived at Tsim Sha Tsui East and briefly visited the K11 Musea, known as Hong Kong's new landmark for sightseeing and shopping, and the Kpop Grid Shop🌃.
At twenty-one o'clock, enjoyed the night view in Tsim Sha Tsui East, the comfortable sea breeze matched with the romantic lights, truly enjoyable🌠.
At twenty-two o'clock, returned to the hotel to rest and sleep💤.
The next day, woke up naturally and went to Langham Place for shopping and lunch.
After eating, took the A21 Cityflyer to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port to head to Macau🇲🇴.

Best hotel to stay in Hong Kong Royal Plaza
We had our 6D5N trip to Hong Kong and enjoyed our stay at Royal Plaza Hotel @ Mongkok. The location is very strategic because it was inside a mall and there is MRT station inside the mall (Mongkok East Station). We just have to walk a 5mins distance to reach the busiest street of Mongkok. Besides that, the hotel room is spacious and there is a bathtub in the room. We don’t have to worry about food and transport staying here because everything is so convenient. Would share more on my itinerary in other post.

The reason why I wanted to visit Hong Kong is because I wanna experience Disneyland during cold weather. Despite the hot weather when I visit, I had the time of my life in Disneyland. I would also like to revisit Disneyland for the Frozen themed castle. I would love to meet Elsa and Anna!!!!
