HK - 4/2/2010

Pottinger Street @ Central
泰昌餅家 Tai Cheong Bakery@Lyndhurst Terr. Famous for its egg tart. Egg tart cost HK5. Not very nice. Still prefer the portuguese egg tart. i also bought Chicken pie - HK7, Lao po bing-HK4.50, Lotus pastry-HK6 and old egg pastry-HK6. All not for my taste.
The Tung Chung Line from the Central station was super far away. Not like our Dhoby Ghaut interchange. Tink we walked for 15mins to reach from East rail line.
Tix to Ngong Ping ride.
Counter for the purchase of tix.
Dare to try the maintenance cable car? The cable car ride took abt half an hour. But it really offers a fantastic view of the reclaimed land of HK airport, the mountains. We even saw 2 females hiking. The wind was blowing strong and I could feel it as the compartment below the seats allowed the air to flow in. It was really not easy to climb in the winter seasons given the weather and the heaviness of the bags and clothing.
On the cablecar, we met a taiwan family and it was interesting to chat with them along the journey. I think one of the advantage of travelling free and easy was that you can meet alot of different nationalities along the way.
@Ngong Ping village/
I didn bought anything from the village as they sell expensive souvenirs.

My foot was in pain after wearing the boots and walking for the past 2 days so we didn climbed up. I actually want to go to the Wisdom Path further down but rushing for time for Disneyland. We just gave it a miss.
Train from Sunny Bay to Tung Chung
The train was well decorated with disney characters.
We were super excited! We were on a mission to find back our childhood memories.
No food and drinks allowed inside. But mineral water is ok. There were water cooler at every toilet for us to refill.
HK Disneyland was split into 4 sections - Adventureland, Main Street USA, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. The main entrance 1st lead to Main Street USA. There were alot of souvenirs shop here. Is a pity that we miss the road show as we were busy queuing for the rides.
Sleeping Beauty castle. Didn have the time to went inside. :(
Adventureland
Rafts to tarzan's Treehouse
Tarzan's Treehouse was about 3 storey high.
After which we went to take the Jungle River Cruise. Not to be miss!
We watched the Mickey's PhilhanMagic which is in 3D. I think shld be 4D as there was sense of smell. Anyway I was extremely lucky to sit at the right row and right column that almost all of the animation was right in front of me. Is just that I could not touch it. We went on to took the Dumbo the Flying Elephant which last abt 1 min ot less?
Cinderella Carousel
@Fantasy Garden. Donald Duck queue was not so long compared to Mickey & Mini Mouse.
It's a small world
Is abt 5 min boat ride where we can see mini characters performing on the 2 sides.




I was busy snapping pics and did not actually for the chance to look at those mini characters.
@ Tomorrowland we only took the Autopia which we waited for more than an hr! You did not need a driving license to drive. It was my 1st time driving and it only last abt 5 mins.
Fish Burger Combo HK54
We waited for the fire works at the Sleeping Beauty Castle at 8.10pm
The fireworks last abt 10mins long. Didn managed to take good shot as the camera was too shy.
