Hong Kong Adventure, Day 3

On our 3rd day in Hong Kong, we were originally planning on going to Macau, but when we got to the ferry ticket counters, the next tickets sold were for 1 p.m. or later, which meant we wouldn't have much time available.  So we bought tickets for Sunday instead.  Then we headed up to Hollywood Road and the Mid-Levels Area, which has antique stores lining the street.

Typical street.


Another street, with a Thai food restaurant sign.


Man Mo Temple.  Inside are two areas, full of burning incense.  So much burning incense that they have huge exhaust fans running to keep the air flowing through.

After walking along Hollywood Road to the Mid Level Escalators, we took them up to Soho, and saw wine shops, wine bars, and cafes.  Then we headed back down and caught a tram out to Happy Valley.

Happy Valley Racecourse.  When there are no races, the park inside the Happy Valley Racecourse is open, so we walked around the race track.


Trams at the Happy Valley terminus.  When it was time to leave, you just go get on the first tram in line heading in the direction you want to go, and after the driver has had his smoke break, he gets back on and away you go.  It's quite like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, especially if you're sitting on the upper deck in the front.  But at $2HKG, you can't beat the price.


Shop cat in Wan Chai.
