FUN @ Hong Kong (again) - Day 3
We were heading to the Noah's Ark situated at Park Island! We imagined that there would be a nice play area for families to enjoy themselves, as advertised by the HK Tourism Board website. However, there were very few people in the ferry going to the island. The walk to the Ark was rather long but scenic. We paid S$50 for the entrance fees, thinking that there would be many things to explore and play inside. To our dismay, the place was more suitable for teens as the activites were meant for young adults. The playground was also not for toddlers like me, and it was closed anyway. I kind of preferred the upper museum level, which was like Science Centre to me, with buttons to press, things to play with, but I don't understand very much of the display.
Well, that was a disappointing trip. So Daddy & Mommy decided to pamper themselves with roasted goose for lunch at the famous Yung Kee Restaurant, even though the time was already 2pm. It was a yummy meal, but the timing for lunch was late and our plan for seafood dinner at Sai Kung was called off.
So we decided on shopping instead! After my nap (and tantrums along the streets), we travelled to the largest mall at Causeway Bay - Times Square.
This Christmas, Times Square invited the renowned Taiwanese illustrator Jimmy to create a Christmas Street themed “A date at the Times”, staged at the second floor Atrium and Open Piazza. This creative assembles Jimmy’s signature characters under the trees of elegant and decorative lights, all wrapped in Christmas’ love and dream in order to share the blissful moment with the people in Hong Kong.
It was Christmas eve! Many roads were blocked and the streets were crowded with many people - walking, shopping, taking pictures, queueing up for restaurants, etc. This was the first time I spent Christmas overseas and the feeling was good! But I still miss my home in Singapore! Hee!
