[Travel] Hong Kong & Macau, Part 3 of 8

Wong Tai Sin

Wong Tai Sin Temple, Hong Kong

Our trip to Hong Kong wouldn’t be complete without paying a visit to one of the most famous shrine here. Wong Tai Sin Temple are famous for “kau cim” tradition where the local would seek spiritual answer.

It isn’t hard to get to this place via the MTR.

However our trip ended prematurely due to bad timing on the date. It appears that there is a big event that disallow the locals/tourists to go into the temple itself.

[Travel] Hong Kong & Macau, Part 1 of 8

I have always dream of visiting this place since 10 years ago, while we are still watching a lot of Hong Kong dramas in Malaysia. I’m pretty glad that I learnt pretty much of Cantonese from dramas and movies from Hong Kong, undubbed. So communication was not a problem for me though, perhaps something that I was least expected. I went to this bustling metropolitan during January 2011, which is still pretty much winter at this time around.

I might sound like I’m exaggerating, but the fact is, I think I’m glad I survived the trip, from all the cold winds. I guess I have to definitely think twice before visiting any other foreign country during these time around. On a plus side, we’re able to have Macau as part of our destination as well.

My recommendation if you are awaiting for your flight in the LCC Terminal, Kuala Lumpur. Skip this shop, with the amount of orders above, it’s RM42.

Nevertheless, it’s a dream come true. After so many years of waiting, I finally able to travel to Hong Kong. To be frank, I really like Macau, for its people and food, not the casino.

Following the previous post on my travel log to Siem Reap, Cambodia, we spent the first morning exploring the temples around The Bayon.

A shot taken after a drizzling sunrise session in front of Angkor Wat.

We were once again woke up at 5AM for our one-day trip towards Banteay Srei, an interesting temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva, which located more than 30KM from Angkor. Instead of having Pele, Noy was our tuk-tuk driver for the day.
