China - Day 11

China – Day 11
Today we conquered Hong Kong. We traveled through island of Hong Kong and visited many sites. We started off taking the subway from our hotel under the water to the island of Hong Kong; there we took a bus to the floating city. From there we took a boat to a floating restaurant on the water called Jumbo Kingdom. It was really cool! From there we had a few drinks and some lunch and headed to back on a boat to Stanley Market. We took a cab to Stanley Market and had a wonderful tour on the way there through the mountains, neighborhoods, and beautiful beaches. The views were spectacular! Stanley Market was like any other tourist trap market, they had all the crap every other market we had visited before had. But we got a few more select goods and took a walk down by the beach. The view from the beach was unbelievable. From the beach we headed to Victoria’s Peak. This is an old cable car system that has been there since 1888 and takes you to the top of the mountain. Once at the top there is in observation deck and TONS of shopping. There were high scale restaurants overlooking the beautiful view of the city. The view from the observation deck was simply breath taking. We had a few drinks at bar at the top and did some shopping at the EA Sports store, and then took the train back down the mountain. From the base we took a cab back to the hotel, where we had dinner at a restaurant near our hotel that was on the roof of a building. The view during dinner of city is something that words could not describe. It was an experience I will never forget.
Tomorrow is our last day in China.
