Hong Kong Day 3: Ladies market & Symphony of lights

Sunday, 2 Mac 2014


Ladies Market, Mongkok

After the peak tram, we headed to Mong Kok Ladies Market for some shopping. Dari MTR central, we took Tseun wan line to get to Mongkok MTR station. Memang sangat convenient MTR kat HK, anywhere possible with MTR, hehehe. From Mongkok MTR station, you just need to walk about 10 minutes to get to Ladies market. Depends juga exit mana yang kita keluar, sebab exit nak ke ladies market ni jer ada brapa ntah. So, after dah keluar tu just follow the signboard that will lead you to ladies market.

Ladies market ni sangat panjang. Masa kami mula-mula sampai kat simpang ladies market, ada dua side of market, so, kami ambik belah kanan jer dulu. Masa kami sampai ni tak berapa ramai orang sangat pun. And I remembered, the only thing that I bought from ladies market was t-shirts. Yang lain bukan tak menarik minat tapi memikirkan budget for souvenirs dah diperuntukan masa kat peak market tadi. And price dia pun lebih kurang macam kat ladies market nie. Aku rasa souvenirs di peak market macam lagi menarik compare to ladies market. Cumanya ladies market ni lagi macam-macam benda yang ada. And price pun boleh bargain. So, try bargain sampai dapat harga murah & sepatutnya. Kalau boleh explore sampai habis sebab different kedai different price nya. Macam kami yang dah terbeli baju 5 t-shirts at HKD100 (ingatkan ni dah kira murah), rupanya ada lagi murah kat dalam HKD90 with 7 t-shirts... hahaha. Kami tak habis explore satu ladies market tu sebab panjang sangat & masing-masing pun macam dah penat.

Night at Ladies market

After dah dapat apa yang dihajati & setelah puas berjalan, we returned back to Hotel after that. 

Symphony of Lights

Malamnya aku, Eein, Kay & Miza ke Symphony of Lights Show di Victoria Harbour. Yang lain tak follow sebab kepenatan barangkali. Semalam & kelmarin kami tak sempat nak tengok, so, memandangkan ada masa terluang malam ni kami pun bersemangat nak tengok. Lagipun kalau tengok jam, masih sempat lagi sampai situ before 8pm. Nak ke sini, just follow the route yang sama macam nak ke Avenue of stars sebab tempat yang sama juga and korang still boleh tengok the show from avenue of stars area juga. Cumanya, kalau nak kepuasan tahap maksima silalah naik ke platform yang berdekatan dengan Clock Tower. Masa kami sampai tu agak gerimis & tak ramai sangat pun orang masa tu.

Symphony of Lights Show ni kira one of my "a must see" checklist in Hong Kong. Actually, just seeing the Hong Kong skyline was already an exciting thing for me because view from where we stood already stunning with variety of colorful lights.

The Symphony of Lights show is a synchronized display of lights and laser accompanied by symphony music, featuring 44 buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbor of Hong Kong. The show lasts for 15 minutes and starts 8pm daily. To me, takde yang menarik sangat pun tapi sebab dah alang-alang orang kata kena tengok pergi jugalah. And everyday with different languages, either english or cantonese.

Ada wedding couple lah kat sini

Area kalau nak dapat view yang menarik masa symphony of light

Before symphony of light show, sangat cantik view kat atas nie

Apa yang menariknya show ni, music is syncronized with the laser & light

Apart from avenue of stars & symphony of light, there are other attractions too nearby this area like the Space Museum and Museum of Art. But, I believed the opening hours daytime only.

After the symphony of lightshow, kami jalan-jalan di area shopping mall before back to Hotel.
