My friend Helen wanted to go for the day to Hong Kong to buy a new phone and i joined her so we could have lunch somewhere new! I also wanted to take the ferry to get back to Guangzhou.


on the way to the train station is either
loved or hated by people.
The first year i was in China i made the comment that i had been to Hong Kong 6 times and that i was eager to go somewhere else instead….. Who would know COVID allowed that to happen. Now I’m back. So was everyone else as it was a holiday weekend (Labor Day in China).

It had been some time but a stroll from west Kowloon down along the water was beautiful.





We walked along sheung wan where street art is but I am slow with stairs still.


of the road here!



We found a nice restaurant for brunch.

Afterwards we went to find the ferry as there is only one cruise time. Walking around we found a noodle museum and shop.

We decorated cups then chose our original mixture for the noodle soup. Mine included laksa soup base and even papaya!







I was only going a day but it was great to have a break from the normal week and the rest of China. Only a couple months left in China….
Some familiar scenes here… and some we did not see! We are looking forward to having you back in “the Americas” and are pondering a visit to Quito sometime… Enjoy your final time in China. It has been quite an adventure!
I forgot to say… thank you for including the map. Those of us who do nt know the detailed geography really appreciate this!
