Hong Kong Day 3, Venturing Into The Heart Of Hong Kong Island

Day 3 on our Hong Kong Free-And-Easy trip brought us to Hong Kong Island. Morning started with their usual Hong Kong Dim Sum, then proceed with a walk around on foot until they hurt and got on hop-on-hop-off bus for HKD50 only for the whole day.

Here I got off a shot of enforcement officers from the health department (I think) making their rounds on foot. Most of the time back in home soil, the enforcement officers are normally motor vehicles. With foot petrols one would see more and do more, and also keep the inches of the belly and the Government could reduce fuel consumption green house gases

A few minutes down our walk, we turned in to the maze like alley ways in the area we were in and found food stalls and market stalls practicing their trade in the morning hours.

After we emerge from the alleys and business district, we began our hunt for places of interests on foot then by bus.

The double decker public bus serve which provided the hop-on-hop-off service runs along 2 looping routes which allows tourists to move along their historical trail less the effort and with video and audio introduction of the places it passes through. How hope Penang state would have this in place to prevent taxis from fleecing tourists.

It is what we normally see in Hong Kong movies and soaps, they really take the effort to keep inconvenience and safety top priority by making it compulsory to erect scuff holdings and with extensive nettings.

The old Hong Kong Police Head Quarters is under renovations. There are actually quite number of old heritage buildings in the area, it is just we need to notice them and admire them in the midst of the ever expanding concrete jungle.

The tram system that runs along some of the streets in Hong Kong Island. One of these streets is the ‘???? seafood street.

The entrance to ‘The Peak’  and ‘Madam Tussuad’. As the crowd was picking up, we decided not to visit the place and went on to plan E for makan.

Public transport in Hong Kong is well connected with sea, land and underground.

In the evening we walk through Lan Kwai Fong which we found was shorter in length than the famous Bintang Walk or Bangsar’s happening areas. It is all about the branding and image projected. The time to be there should be late evening or early night time, otherwise it was a bit quiet.
