Holiday at Hongkong & Shenzhen

Last month, we brought the kids to Hong Kong and Shenzen, China. It was a hot hot holidays and occasionally rain. Please prepare cap, umbrella or raincoats. We stayed in a relative place in Yau Ma Tei, at the city centre. But if you are looking for hotel, I would recommend Mongkok as it was near all the shoppings centre and stalls. You just need to travel everywhere with the MTR (subway). Every tourist attraction like Disneyland, Lantau Island, the Peak and even Ocean Park are link. A little research and study the map will do. So upon arrival at the airpost, the first thing to do is purchase the Octopus Card (like a debit card).

We took train from HK to Shenzen (Lou Hu). But before that, we had applied our visas at the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia. There's arrival form to fill in and all are available just besides Immigression Counters. Need to do a little running. Just be careful when you bring small children as this area is more crowded. Our hotel Shun On Holiday Villa, was just beside the Lau Jie Subway in Shenzen. I would strongly recommeded as it was so convenient. And don't be shocked, Shenzen is as developed as Hong Kong!

We only managed to visit Splendid China and Window of the World. You must not miss the shows in Splendid China. It was so brilliant.
Overall, enjoying especially the kids!

Bukit Tinggi

We went to Bukit Tinggi last weekend, which is after the school holidays to avoid the crowd. It only took 45 minutes to reach our apartment. The 3 days 2 nights trip turned out to be 2 days 1 night! We departed after lunch from PJ. Packed dinner over Bukit Tinggi was well known to be super expensive. Staying in Meranti Suite was rather disappointing, due to lack of maintenance.

So after dinner, we travelled to the Colmer, which is the landmark of Bukit Tinggi for its French Medieval village. Nice to take pictures but not much of activities for the children, so rather boring after that. Back to the apartment, nothing much, slept early.

Colmer, Bukit Tinggi

Next day, visit the animal farm - rabbit, donkey and what else? Rather disappointed as it was similar to our local zoo's condition. Then, we went to the Japanese Garden. This was better as it was better maintained and the scenery was good. Afterthat, we went to the Colmer again for lunch. There was only 3 eateries, not much of choices. Again took pictures and then, hanging (lepaking around)...We left around 3pm. Too bored.
My advise, this place is worth to visit for a day trip or an overnight will do.
