Tung Chung island, Hong Kong

-

Hi everyone!

I would like to share with you my experience at Tung Chung island.

Well, if you would like to see the big Buddha, you should visit Tung Chung island/resort.

To get to Tung Chung island/resort, you can take a taxi or public transport.

if you would like to get there by public transport, you can take the MTR to Tung Chung Station, it is one stop after the Sunny Bay station (the orange/yellow line).

Once you reach Tung Chung station, you should walk towards exit B. Then, you have to get a bus no. 23.

The other option is to hike.

My friends and I decided to take the cable car instead of taking the bus. It is because, it takes a longer time to reach our destination. It takes approximately 1 hour. However, if you take the cable car, it would only take 20 minutes.

The cable car costs HK$130 for standard while the crystal cable car (the bottom see through cable car) costs HK$180 for one single trip.

 That's the cable car ticket (right)


It is the view from the cable car.

TUNG CHUNG ISLAND



Welcome to Tung Chung Island!
Over here, there are few restaurants like Hong Kong cuisine restaurant, Indian restaurant and even Subway! They sell a few goodies or souvenirs too! However, you should try out their beancurd pudding there, it's really good!


You can see the big Buddha there... on top of the mountain


There you go, to reach the Big Buddha, you have to climb 200+ stairs. It's tiring! But it was worth going to the peak.


Once you reach, you will see this amazing view!


Well, may be from the picture it seems small. Actually it was HUGE

P.s If anyone of you love hiking or sightseeing, this is one of the destinations you should consider visiting. ^^

Tips: 

Do not forget to bring a cap, an umbrella or water bottle along especially in the summer. AND do apply Sunscreen protection (the sun could burn your skin). Bring your cameras along too! 
It is better to have your meal first before visiting, the restaurants are more expensive than usual (because it is tourist attraction).

Montigo Resorts, Batam 2016 review

Hi guys! I am back after a few weeks! I miss you! Montigo Resort, Batam I went there with my brother, his girlfriend, a malaysian friend and myself. We decided to stay at Montigo Resort because we want to escape from a hectic life we had in Singapore. I never had a luxurious vacation, this was my first. You have to ride by a golf car just to travel around the resort. When I was at the lobby, the staff will provide you a wet towel and drinks before they are going to send you to your villa. The villa itself was so spacious! OMG! You have to be there to feel it! This is a place that I want to recommend to you guys, which is Montigo Resort, Batam. If you guys are looking for a perfect place to have some relaxation or wanting to get summer during Christmas, this is for you guys! Even though many people had actually written about this place, I want to share my personal experiences with you; what I feel about that place. you see that scenery below, I took it from my...

Hi guys! Say goodbye to 2017 and welcome 2018; and let the new chapter begins!  (Sorry, it's a little too late to say  such a thing)  Days flies so fast that I couldn't keep track on it. All projects and internship programme all came to an end... Finally, I have the freedom to do all the SHIT I want!  XD A week ago, my relatives came to Singapore for a visit. They wanted me to bring them around Singapore. So, I brought them around to famous tourists attractions such as Sentosa, Orchard roads and Chinatown etc. Suddenly, my cousin came towards me. "Sister, I would want to shop for snacks that aren't available in Indonesia. What can I buy here?" my she asked me curiously. At first, I would suggest her to go bugis or chinatown as these places sell many cheap souvenirs or snacks than other areas (correct me if I'm wrong). However, Singapore currency is so high! Even a dollar have to be spent wisely. I rested my head on my hand as I replied, "Let's...
