We then reached the terminus and rode bus 973 going to Stanley Market. It took us about an hour to reach Stanley. The place was really nice - clean and dreamy...
Here's our picture at the Murray House.
Here's the Tin Hau Temple.
We had lunch at Mc Donald's since food there was way overpriced for our budget. Hehehe.
Nonetheless, we were able to buy knick-knacks for pasalubong as well as souvenirs for our home.
Isn't the bay side dreamy?
Stanley seems to be an upscale, laid-back community, compared to the places in Kowloon such as TST and Mongkok, which are both overcrowded, modern and fast-paced. I like it there.
We went back to TST to have some photos at the clock tower and the nearby museums.
Kissing in HK!
We also bought Royce Chocolates (i love!) at the City Super in Harbour City, as well as some other chocolates (cheaper ones... for pasalubong) at Wellcome.
After that, we rode the MTR going to Central and went back to The Peak Tram Terminus, hoping that this time, we will be able to get to The Peak. And so we did. Take a look at the spectacular views.
Promise to self: When we go back to Hong Kong, we should already have a DSLR camera, to better capture these spectacular views! We really have to save up for this big-ticket item.
Then we left The Peak to have dinner at... guess where?
The Modern Toilet (22 Portland St. Mongkok)!
What a way to have an anniversary dinner! The food was good... and affordable... Plus the ambience was hip and fun.
After dinner, we walked towards Tung Choi (Ladies Market) to sample their bargain finds. Or so we thought! Their souvenir shirts were overpriced - 5 shirts for HKD100?! In Boracay we were able to buy great Bora shirts at 2 for P150. And the vendors in Mongkok have their unique way of harrassing people to buy their items.
Lesson learned: I swear I won't go back there anymore. Better buy at Stanley - same price but friendlier vendors and better ambience.
We ended our HK Day 3 almost past midnight.
