Our plan today is to visit the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, one of the famous shrines in Hong Kong. It will be followed by Asia very own Snoopy World and then the famous market town in Stanley followed by the prestigious residential area in Hong Kong - Repulse Bay.

We got our journey started by having our breakfast at 98C. This is one of the Hong Kong cheap eat.



I ordered a set of Maggie (公仔面) with 2 pieces of luncheon meat and it came together with toast and 2 sausages. It cost only HKD 25. Cheap and tasty!


On the other hand, Connie had a pork burger with scrambled fried egg for HKD 23.

We added another HKD3 for one of its speciality - Hong Kong Milk tea a.k.a Nai Cha.


As it was near to Halloween, we were presented 2 chopsticks by 98C. Nice food and free gift, highly reccomended!

After the filling breakfast, it was time to get things moving. From TST station, we took the MTR towards Wong Tai Sin Station. At about 10am, we alligned at Wong Tai Sin Station.


Right beside the station it is the famous Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple - the area's most prominent landmark. This temple attracts thousand of worshippers seeking help in personal and business matters.

Next, we headed towards Sha Tin for our next destination - Snoopy World. Snoopy World is located at level 3 of New Town Plaza.

Snoopy's World in Sha Tin is only the second of its kind in the world.

Not only kids love it. Big guys like us also love this place. The Snoopy and it's friends are so cute!







There is a Snoopy theme playground for kids to enjoy themselves also.



Next, we did some shopping inside Esprit.

After that we headed towards Hong Kong MTR Station and took a bus at the Exchange Square Bus Terminus towards Stanley Market & Murray House.

We went pass Repulse Bay on our way towards Stanley. It was quite a long winding Road which lasted at about 45 minutes from Hong Kong MTR Station. At 4.45pm, finally we reached Stanley Market.


Open 7 days a week, Stanley is a popular market town for its bargain buys and good environment for leisure and relax.

Besides that, there are funky bars and beautiful beaches. In addition, all the houses are facing the sea and at that time, the sun was setting down. Beautiful scenery!




This is the restaurant that we saw in TVB drama series - Catch me now a.k.a "Yuan lai ai shang jei" .


This is the Blake Pier and Murray House. Murray House is now the Hong Kong Maritime Musuem as well as restaurants whereas Blake Pier is the public Pier in Stanley.


There is a Tin Hao temple in Stanley too.


The sky got dark very early in Hong Kong. Quickly, we hopped into the bus towards Repulse Bay. We reached there at 6.30pm. The sun had already set and all is at peace. Repulse Bay has one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. Look how beautiful it is even at night.

After that, we headed back towards TST to visit the Hong Kong Space Musuem. As it is Wednesday, the admission tickets are free!

There musuem is very informative and there were a lot of gears to try out. It is fun!




As there were time left, we went back to Avenue of Stars to capture some pictures. Avenue of Stars is just located right behind of Space Musuem.

We missed out the view from the pier during our visit on the first day. The view from here is exceptional!


This is the Olympic Rings installed on Hong Kong Musuem of Art symbolises HK's role as Olympic Co-host city.



One of the renowned clock tower in Avenue of Stars. This clock tower part of the original Kowloom-Canton Railway terminus and a landmark from the Age of Steam!

The clock showed it is 10.30pm and we had not taken our dinner yet! We had our dinner at 新源粉面茶餐厅。


I ordered a plate of fried rice, and connie had a plate of fish congee.



We went back to our room feeling extremly exhausted. After all the brushing up, we went to back feeling satisfied as we have conquered every places in our itinerary.
