Day 5: HK 060108

We woke up pretty earlie that day..taking a tram from outside Ramada Hotel to the ferry pier to catch the ferry to Yung Shue Wan..one part of Lamma Island..it was more rural from what we saw when the ferry reached the destination..but at the same time..there were many tourists..probably coming here to escape from the city life.. alng the way, we saw many seafood restaurants.. all with gigantic sea creatures on sales.. we decided to walk around first before feasting and took up a trail walk.. little did we know the trail took us like 2h before we reached the other end of Lamma Island..and that is Sok Kwu Wan..which is where we had a very yummilicious seafood lunch..Lamma Island here we come~

Seafood, Street, Seafood Market

it was mentioned before Lamma Island offers very famous 自制豆花..there were a few shops selling it.. we chanced upon one and decided to try.. as indeed..the 豆花 was so smooth...u can just consume and swallow immd.. we choose the cold one.. super shiok when eaten on a hot day!

after eating.. we embarked on our trail.. along the way, there were attractions and stopovers or pavillions for you to take a rest and have some food..we adopted the trail after researching from catalogues taken when we were at the airport.. so be sure to take those brochures before you depart from the airport..dun rush to make your way to your hotel first ya..

clear blue sea..nice scenery!

the trail we took from Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan

the food we ate at Rainbow Seafood Restaurant..I perceived that it was a famous restaurant based on the awards they won and the crowd they have.. we chose this 2-person set meal which filled our table with those food as seen in the collage above..amazing right?...i think everything tasted very fresh..the rice was also very yummy..and what makes it even better is that the restaurant has self-owned ferries which can bring us for FREE back to Central Pier..there are various departure timings.. as long as u dine in them.. you will be provided with this priviledge..
we got some 茶果..from an old lady selling near the pier.. it tasted quite nice.. with different fillings like red bean or sesame..heard that it wa one of the famous food in Lamma Island..and also not to forget..this extremely crispy and tasty food from Lamma Island..remember to have some before you leave..you wun regret!

when we reached Central Pier.. we took MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui and took the KCR to New Territories Station.. never being on a KCR..their railway before.. it was very cool..fast speed..comfy seats...

as referred from the guide.. we wanted to make our way to the Bride's Pool..once reaching New Territories.. we took a public bus..about 30mins before reaching Bride's Pool...yet another beautiful ecotourism area..having to climb mountains earlier in Lamma Island has made us quite lethargic during this trail.. we took a map and saw actuallie in within got many other waterfalls..due to the elevated rocks etc.. i guess we walked in for abut 1h and then U-turned back cuz is getting darker.. the rocks were rather steep to climb.. there were many photographers coming here to take some scenic shots..for us.. we took most of our pics at this mini-waterfall..

it was near dinner time after we completed the journey to here..New Territories does not look as modernised as roads in the Central or along Nathan Roads.. there were less buildings.. less activities..less shopping..it is good to see a different side of HK too..

there is however a shopping centre located next to Sha Tin..another station along the KCR line..named New Town Plaza..there's this Snoopy world right above the shopping mall..very nice figurines and statues avaliable for picture taking..
we're just too full for dinner after exploring Snoopy World.. so we decided to make our way to Victoria Harbor for the Symphony of Lights at 8pm.. shown daily.. we didnt catch it during the 1st trip to HK.. for this time.. we decide not to miss it again!
