Hong Kong (Part 3) - Alan's HK Island Tour

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:02:34 +0000

Our good friend Alan Chun took my father and I on a tour of good ol' HK Island.

We visited an area called Skek-O, an area of HK Island that we've never visited before. We then went pass Causeway Bay, and then took a ferry to Cheung Chau Island. On the CC Island, we had tea at a very quaint and delightful tea house called 'Hometown Tea House'. We then visited the New Star Ferry Terminal in Central and finally took a tour of Central, before having dinner in the area. A very delightful and busy day touring HK Island!
