Hong Kong, for lunch

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.

Masks are actually not required anymore but since so many people are traveling…..
This building in the shadows of a Chinese coin
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).

This is actually the most people we saw but we knew it would get worse later in the day.

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

It was pretty hot at 9 in the morning…

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

We took a car to sheung wan. Ubers are these old cars. I always chuckle when a message asks you what you are wearing!
Reminders that they drive on the other
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!

You participated in putting together your soup.
Can’t wait to try it!
They even packaged it to not get damaged in travel.

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….

  1. 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!

  2. I forgot to say… thank you for including the map. Those of us who do nt know the detailed geography really appreciate this!
