It is a public holiday and important day in Hong Kong.
This is the day of 10 year memory of return Hong Kong to China
from British.
Travel Place :
Hong Kong – Tung Chung, Ngong Ping Village, Po Lin Monastery,
Tian Tan Buddha Statue
Weather : about 20 degree C , rainy day.
This is public holiday in Hong Kong and colleague of China factory
request me to go for sight seeing together in Lantau Island,
it is my pleasure to guide them and we both enjoy this trip.
There are so many first time that happen in that day :
1. Normally they come to Hong Kong by car not by boat.
2. This is the first time we go for sight seeing and take photo together.
3. This is also my first time to visit Ngong Ping Village and
Tian Tan Buddha Statue even they build up many years before.
4. We have 6 persons but only with 2 umbrella, the weather is not stable,
every 10-15 minutes with 5-10 minutes rainy, all peoples can guess the
rainy time and we just run and gather together with 2 umbrella.
The weather is very funny, we both together think how to plan the
journey to fit the rainy time, it is really funny day for us.
5. We have lunch at Ngong Ping Village, but the price of one dish
of vegetable (only vegetable) is very expensive,
more expensive than eat in 5 Star hotel.
