Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland has been causing a buzz since the opening last year, so I decided to check it out myself! Although it’s small, compare to Tokyo Disneyland , Hong Kong has most of the typical Disneyland theme and features such as The Disney Main Street, the Main raiway Station including the typical manicured Mickey Mouse entrance garden, Tomorrowland and Space Mountain, Safari cruise, a Carousel, and the Slepping Beauty Palace.

The park can be easily visited in a day, although that might not work in peak seasons. The longest wait was the Lion King show which took about 20 mins.

All in all, I would have to say it’s worth the visit.

Entrance fee to the park is HK $350 during peak season and HK $295 on off-peak season. You can take subway train to Sunny Bay station and change to the Disney train. If you go from Central it’s about 30mins trip and a HK $40 return.

BIG Buddha in HK


Again… I flew to HK. I love HK !! (An excuse to leave China?? @.@)

When flying to Hong Kong, don’t forget to look for the Giant bronze Buddha.

A world LARGEST Buddha statue (WOW~~~ ) sits cross-legged atop a green peak on Lantau Island with access via a very looooooong staircase. It was build using Bronze, 34 m tall and weight 250 tonnes. Take MTR to Ngong Ping 360 skyrail instead of bus. It involves a visually spectacular 5.7km cable car journey, travelling between Tung Chung Town center and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. You will enjoy views over South China Sea, mountains and valleys on an amazing 20 mins experience. It cost HKD88 for a return skyrail boarding pass. They have "Journey of Enlightenment Package" which include a return way skyrail, "Walking with Buddha" ( a story on how an Indian Prince named Siddhartha become Buddha), and "Monkey Tale Theatre" which I think you can skip. It’s basically a comical show with special effects and surround sound.

Don’t waste time in the village. Go straight to the Buddha. You can stop by the village on the way back for a bite or something… There’s NO admission fees, but they will ask you whether you want to have you vegetarian meal included at Poh Lin Monastery. HKG60 per head and HKD 120 for a ‘high class’ vegetarian meal!!
