READY, SET, HONG KONG!

It was mid-December of year 2017, when my family planned to have our Christmas vacation in Hong Kong. Everyone was excited to the fact that we are going to visit one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world. Hong Kong is known for its numerous high-rise buildings that made it rank second in the world. About 7,833 wonderful buildings are currently dancing with the skyscrapers day and night. So it was actually a dream come true for me and my three (3) siblings to finally have our visit in Hong Kong.

As I was saying good bye to Philippines, me and my siblings cannot contain the excitement that we felt while boarding in the aircraft. We started talking things about Hong Kong, the dos and don’ts in Hong Kong, their tradition, the tourist spots and we even wondered what does their food tastes like. It was indeed an amazing opportunity for the four of us to have our vacation there.

After a safe travel from the Philippines, we arrived 23rd of December. Our excitement reached a new level when we finally experienced an extreme cold weather which is not usual in the Philippines. The weather was fine but it was cold as ice. The temperature was recorded to be 18°C unlike in the Philippines which has only an average minimum temperature of 26°C. We did not know what to feel, before we knew it, we already enjoyed the coldness of the environment. Yeeepeeey!

No days has been wasted. We roamed freely with our parents in our side almost every day in 13 days. They toured us in the amazing streets and places of Hong Kong, brought us to different places with amazing shops with very expensive stuffs. We also visited the Tsim Sha Tsui district in Kowloon. Lots of sidewalk shops with amazing merchandise was displayed.

We had our meals at different restaurants with a very beautiful and relaxing ambiance. We tasted different cuisine from different races. Japanese foods down to Chinese foods that no one can resist.

As we gone along the streets, the cleanliness of the place will make you feel relaxed. Not to mention those great tall buildings dancing in the sky.

No one can resist the beauty of Hong Kong. The city that brings joy and excitement. In almost two weeks of touring in Hong Kong, the extreme coldness of the environment did not bothered us anyway. We super enjoyed our stay in Hong Kong and I can’t even say good bye to the place. It was a heavenly-like feeling and I wish I could go back in Hong Kong soon.
