After a busy day in the city yesterday, today was a quiet visit to an undeveloped island: Lantau. We took the ferry and started on the longest beach in Hong Kong, Cheung Sha (which means long sands). No one swims there on account of the sharks. From there we went to Tai O village a very old traditional fishing village with stilt houses, that we rode through on a boat, and a dried fish market. Then off to the Po Lin Monastery, overlooked by the largest outdoor sitting bronze Buddha. We then took the Ngong Ping skyrail (cable car) back to the other side of the island. We had dinner tonight in the hotel buffet - SCORE: sushi!
I am sure you are going to be in the same travel group as my friend Jannine... she just got to HK now...
ReplyDeleteYou are so close to Emerson right now, less then 3 hours away. Did you ever think :)
So exciting to read your daily journal. I'm thinking of you guys and so excited for you. It sounds like you're really learning a lot about China and will never forget this trip. As for your carbon footprint, you wouldn't let us leave one in Mexico (jet skis!!!) so you have carbon to spare. ;) Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a safe trip. Stay rested. I am anxiously awaiting pics of Emerson. Blessings
