We are checking out of HK Disneyland Hotel and going to mainland HK. Mummy got some serious shopping plans initially but was really tired after those fun-filled days at Disneyland. We then checked in to Langham Pl Hotel (mummy's fave HK hotel)

Zzzzz...................................really tired....

Can't believe it....the Langham Pl mall is 13 storey! Can't finish...went to H&M but it's mainly winter wear. ;-( It's really a shopping paradise in HK. There are many heeren like shopping complexes and the food is great too. The cosmetics is quite cheap (SKII stuff is almost half the price in HK!) but alas...din manage to buy much stuff.

As we din want to travel ard in public transport, Mummy also arranged for a planned trip (yes...with Splendid Tours Agency from HK)to some of the places (which u wld not go on your own) in HK.

Check out the Itinerary:

CHUK LAM SIM YUEN
An impressive Buddhist monastery nestled in the hills in quiet dignity is home to three enormous "Precious Buddha" statues and other colourful religious paraphernalia.

Inside the monastery, we let Natie throw a coin into the pond...for good luck.

KAM TIN WALLED VILLAGE

Built 700 years ago by the Tang clan, the original walls remain standing with its female villagers still dressed in traditional costumes for daily activities in modern Hong Kong.

O/s the walled village. Gave $2 to take photos with these ladies. They are very old but still in good health. The tour guide was quite funny...she said that the ladies here outlive the men coz they worked very hard and thus, they are stronger. Whereas the men were lazy and did not do any chores...so they die faster.

LOK MA CHAU
The vista stretches from the farmlands bordering Shenzhen River to the modern skyline of Shenzhen City in the distance. (There will be a 5-minute walk to the lookout point.)

Ok. Mummy regretted like hell...coz we had to climb uphill!!! When we were at the top, poor mummy was panting away...trying to catch her breath...don't think the view was worth it.

WISHING TREE
It used to be a camphor tree where a tablet for enshrining and worshipping Pak Kung was placed. Today, it attracts not only local villagers but also overseas visitors flock to there to make their wishes.

Dragon/Phoenix...Toilet!!!

This is the famous wishing tree..too bad we can't throw our oranges and wishes onto the tree branches. Coz the tree branch broke in early 2000 due to overload and killed some people. So they had to stop people from throwing and instead set a board for people to hang their wishes.

Guess which one is the wish made by Mummy?

KAISER ESTATE
Home of factory outlets. We'll stop by the workshop of a renowned jewellery factory to witness the delicate process of handcrafting gemstones and precious metals. This place supposedly designs and supplies jewellery to TSL - a Singapore jewellery shop for which we've never heard of. Think wld prefer to buy from Citigems and SK Jewellery....Prices seem to be more attractive and design seemed to be nicer. Hee
