Hong Kong free and easy : Huang Da Xian (黃大仙) Immortal Wong

 My parents 

One main reason for visiting this place. My dad wanted to.

Huang Da Xian (黃大仙) aka Immortal Wong

Just take the train to the station and follow the signs.

walk out of the station and you can spot the temple quite easily.

The place is not very big but not very small. Can spend around 30 minutes if you want to explore the whole place. Definitely need more time if you are going to take lots of photos or praying. It was drizzling when I was there but there are still a lot of people praying.
There is a small garden at the right side of the temple.
See the baby dragon and that hand. Everyone seems to be touching it and so we joined in. haha.

 Sumo hands. Much bigger than me and my sister's hand

Hong Kong: Random Shots

hong Kong : Ap Liu street 鴨寮

Step out to Ap Liu street and you will find stalls selling handphone cases and screen protector. I am not sure about the quality but the price and variety seems good.

We went up the 北河街市政大廈, it was a wet market.

You see live chickens, vegetables and fruits.

If you are not into this, just walk at ground level.

.

There are almost no shopping for clothes and shoes here.

Good for Buying fruits, vegetables, pastries and dried goods.

Trying to understand the cantonese.

Dried Starfish for sale.

Lots of dried goods for sale.

Dried oyster, mushrooms, fish, cuttlefish, sea cucumber, ikan bilis and a lot more.

Quite amazed at their collection of dried goods. 

their dried shrimps have small, medium, large. 

As big the prawn we see in the wanton in Hong Kong. (bottom right photo)

They even have  dried duck wings. (middle right photo)

Lot of bakeries.

My parents bought the wife's biscuit from here and I enjoyed my mango desserts

Hong Kong free and easy : The scenery Day and night.Avenue of star

 STar Avenue and symphony of lights.

I went in the evening so it was a bit hard to appreciate star avenue at that timing as it was too dark. 

Caught the symphony of lights at 8pm and enjoyed the beautiful night scenery.

I think they have special version for christmas or new year which should be more interesting.

Either get off at Tsim Sha Tsui East or Tsim Sha Tsui and walk over. 

From Tsim Sha Tsui, access via the underpass of Sheraton. They have quite clear directional signs.

One reason I visited here for the night lights is because I did not want to spend the time and effort going up the peak. 

 This ferry is for longer distance like travelling to Macau or zhuhai.

 Cloudy day. Even the building is in the clouds.

 We saw a helicopter

 The ferry. The is not enclosed so enjoyed the breeze.

 Clock tower

 

Took the ferry from Central to Kowloon just to catch the beautiful scenery.

Just a short ride like 5-10mins.
