Hong Kong night tour

At night, we bought a local night tour so that we can have a pleasant and enjoyable night trip around Hong Kong. We sat in a bus with many Singaporean families. In the bus, our tour guide for the night, Ben, told us that we were going to have the bus brought us to a restaurant which serves us authentic Hong Kong local cuisines, including the famous roasted geese! Ben even talked about the texture of the geese meat and the smells of it, making the whole bus of people having fantasies about the tantalizing dinner that awaits us.

The famous Hong Kong Roasted Geese.

The dinner was served and yet it was a disappointing meal. the roasted geese was a bit too salty while the rest was just not delicious.

After the meal, we went to a place called "The Peak", the peak of a hill which known as 太平山 in chinese. It is actually the the highest peak of Hong Kong, a great place to enjoy the world famous night view of HK. On the way, we can see the horse racing stadium, another famous spot which i've missed this time.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club

At The Peak, we went to the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum to see all those wax figures of the famous people throughout the world.


Enjoying the night scenery, one of the best in the world!

Madonna with sharp-pointing bras, ouch!


Andy Lau, the only wax figure to have heartbeat, artificial one, of course.

There were too many of wax figures to see, so, we didn't have the time to take all of them but some just seemed too excited to take photos without realising...


they don't even know who she is

After that, the we changed another bus to another type of bus, the open top bus. Our tour guide bragged about it, saying it was a great trip that normally only tourist can sit and those passing pedestrians will drop their jaw as soon as they see the bus, as Hong Kong locals don't have the chance to land their arses on the bus. The bus was rental and you gotta book the whole bus for one trip. But, the truth is, there is no any admiring stares at all, nobody really give a damn about this open top bus.

me & Victor risked our heads to take this picture.

These was what the open top bus night trip all about: myriads of neon lights advertisements.


What a sight to behold!
