Hongkong Day 2 - Dragon's Back and City Plaza Mall

We started the day later than planned and we found some difficulty in waking up at 730am. Our hotel is 5 mins to Tsui Wah restaurant, and we dropped by for breakfast to savour the condensed milk toast bread. Slightly disappointed, I guess their standard seemed to have dropped from a few years back. 


 We took a mtr ride to Shau kei wan station and was shocked to see the longest queue at the bus stop.

The bus ride up was rather fast and we were at Shek O station in 15 mins (tip: to skip the bus queue,  get ready to hop onto the bus when the first few people in the queue decided to wait for the next bus for seats and you are okay to stand ).

It was quite a strenuous way up in the first 20 mins because the steps were steep. Thereafter, there were no proper steps built so it's a hike on natural stones around the trail. The scenery turned out to be really nice and it's definitely worth the effort to walk on both sides of the trail. 






We completed the whole hike in 2 plus hours and took a train to Tai Koo, where there's a big shopping mall for us to grab our lunch.  City Plaza has a many shops worth spending time on - Niko and..  , sports apparel,  muji,  uniqolo, ice-skating as  well. Lunch was lovely at Super sandwich (their pasta and sandwiches were really nice). We hang out at the mall for more than 3hrs.


Back in K11 and we decided to have mango shaved ice and panna cotta for dessert at Wired Green (Japanese restaurant). This is nice!
