HK trip Day 4...

In the morning, we took a ferry to lantau island to see the huge buddha statue... it was a really long journey and after alighting from the ferry, we still had to catch a bus to the statue... the bus journey was like 45 mins... when we finally arrived... there were alot of people there... we saw alot of people climbing the steps up to the buddha... after resting and going to the necessary stops, we all made our way up the stairs... it was quite tiring but the view from the top made it all worth it... it was really nice... we also paid to eat the vegetarian lunch there...

by the time we arrived back at central pier, it was like almost 5pm... we decided to catch the bus to the peak, even though it was quite late already... when we alighted from the bus, there was a long queue at the ticket counter to go up the peak... the tram trip was really cool... the tram goes up the mountain at a 45 degree angle all the way to the peak... at the peak, the view was really breathtaking... and I thought we went at the right time, cos we saw the sun setting... and then although it was freezing, we stayed up there to catch the night scene of HK... and more people came up to 'chope' spots as that day was the lunar eclipse... after that, we decided not to wait so that we could catch the ferry to watch the symphony of lights... we had to queue again to catch the tram back down... and the tram was so crowded that michelle and I had to stand... and going down was really scary... cos it was quite steep...
