Chapter 161: First Visit to Hong Kong
Prior to this, Situ has been with the company's cooperative relationship with the travel agency carefully studied, Tantu travel agency Xiao Miao is very enthusiastic, knowing that Situ is going to take his parents and brothers to play, is very happy to give Situ a travel route schedule, including the hotel to give them pre-advice, in Yau Tsim Wang Jordan Nanjing Street Guangyi Hotel, near the Jordan station subway exit, the price is still OK, two hundred and five Hong Kong dollars a night, two rooms are five hundred Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, Xiao Miao suggested that Situ could book a four-person room, the price was about the same, two hundred and ninety-one nights, almost half of the money was saved, Situ thought about it carefully, and thought about it, I was afraid that my parents would not be used to it, so I would have two rooms, and when the time came, I would have a room with my mother, and Xiaoya and my father would have a room. Because of Xiao Miao's help, Situ actually didn't have a particularly hard time traveling to Hong Kong, she thought it was very good, and the route arranged by Xiao Miao was quite reasonable.
After eating, Situ and his parents talked about the general route, tomorrow they will go to Ocean Park to play, and in the afternoon to Repulse Bay Beach. Because we live near Temple Street, we can go to Temple Street Night Market in the evening.
The next morning, go to Bauhinia Square and Convention and Exhibition Center, then go to the top of the hill to visit Madame Tussauds, and then in the afternoon, visit the Avenue of Stars and visit the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Space Museum, etc., depending on the time.
After checking out early in the morning on the third day, I went to Statue Square to see Lan Kwai Fong, then went to Central, Causeway Bay to see what I wanted to buy, and then came back. In fact, Xiao Miao also suggested that Situ go to watch the fireworks for the New Year, but Situ thought about the big night, his parents might be too tired, and the fireworks were not all the same everywhere, so there was no arrangement.
Mom and Dad and Xiaoya had no opinion, and Mom said, "Xiaowen, in fact, we don't have anything to buy." What a watch, we have everything, and we don't want that luxury. As for the others, there is nothing to buy, Hong Kong things are so expensive, they are all famous brands, can they be cheap? Situ actually wanted to buy a famous watch for his father, and a piece of Chow Tai Fook or Chow Sang Sheng's jewelry for his mother, looking at his mother's appearance, he thought, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll be buying it then." I bought it myself, and they will always have to bring it. ”
Because they are going to Hong Kong tomorrow, the four of them are still very excited. In 2006, it was still a big deal to travel to Hong Kong, and the four of them had never been to Hong Kong, so they watched a lot of Hong Kong films, and they knew what Temple Street, Lan Kwai Fong or something, Xiaoya was very excited. After eating, Xiaoya and Situ had the old rules, rock-paper-scissors, and Xiaoya lost washing the dishes.
Mom and Dad watched the two of them make a fuss, watched happily, and didn't interfere. Situ suddenly felt that this was home, and it was good for the family to be reunited. The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is going to celebrate the New Year in Hong Kong this year, and parents have no opinion.
Early the next morning, Situ got up at six o'clock, and she went out for two runs by herself before coming back. When I came back, my parents and Xiaoya got up. The four of them quickly packed up, hurriedly ate some breakfast, went out, took a taxi and went straight to Huanggang Port, Situ heard Xiao Miao say that there were a lot of people who passed the customs during the New Year, so they must be early, otherwise the queue will be lined up.
Xiao Miao has already opened a group sign for her parents, Xiaoya, and Situ, not a Shenzhen hukou, it is difficult to sign a personal sign, and it is basically a group sign. The four of them took the Hong Kong and Macao pass and the tour group slip, because they arrived relatively early, there were not many people, they started to work at eight o'clock, and now it is only half past seven, and it is still early, and the four of them are waiting in line there. Finally at half past eight, the light began to pass by, Situ and a few people were in the front, and soon passed the pass on the Shenzhen side, and the four of them walked forward along the road, bought four bus tickets to the Hong Kong side of the pass, and also passed the Hong Kong pass.
When Situ crossed the customs, he found that the customs officers in Hong Kong had a very bad attitude, very poor, and seemed to be very discriminatory against them mainlanders, and his eyes were slanted at you, and Situ held back the fire.
But think about it, what do you have to worry about with these people, they are all incompetent people, otherwise they wouldn't have eaten a bowl of dead rice from the public here. Sure enough, Xiaoya was very unhappy and chattered with Situ, and her parents were also angry, Situ thought to himself, this Hong Kong person, who advertises as a civilized person, is actually a bit of a tooth-eater, and he hasn't even learned the basic etiquette of treating others, and when he said to his parents Xiaoya, the three of them were happy, and this was the time to get rid of the depressed mood.
Before Situ passed the customs, he remembered what Xiao Miao said that he bought four Octopus cards, all of which were charged with 200 yuan, which he had to use to take the subway in Hong Kong in the past two days, and he had already exchanged 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Situ bought four bus tickets, the four of them took the car directly to the vicinity of the subway station, and took the subway directly to Ocean Park, Situ and several people each carried a backpack, and brought a tow box, and asked everyone's opinions, and decided to play first, and go to the hotel to check in at night, so Situ dragged this trolley box. Fortunately, Xiaoya still felt sorry for her, and pulled a section of the road from time to time along the way, and the sister and brother took turns to hold it.
After buying tickets, a few people entered the Ocean Park, Situ was yelling to make a merry-go-round, Xiaoya laughed at her; "Sister, how old are you, you still have to ride the merry-go-round, you are embarrassed." Situ rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
Located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, Ocean Park Hong Kong covers an area of more than 870,000 square meters and is divided into three scenic spots: Above, Below and Tai Shue Wan. Ocean Park is a not-for-profit organization managed by the Ocean Park Corporation (OPC) that is committed to providing entertainment, education and conservation experiences at a reasonable cost.
After the four of them entered from the gate of Tai Shue Wan, they kept walking inside, and there were staff guides to take the escalator to the location of each play project, because the escalator is built on the mountain, facing the sea, and the sea near is a typhoon shelter where Hong Kong famous seafood is eaten, where there is a famous Jumbo seafood restaurant, and the Pacific Ocean is in the distance.
Because it was the Spring Festival, facing the sea, he still felt very cold, Situ thought that he was fortunate to let his parents Xiaoya and himself wear more clothes when they came out. After taking the escalator, he was already at the essence of Ocean Park, and Situ decided to take the sightseeing Ferris wheel with his family first, and as the sightseeing wheel slowly rose, the whole Ocean Park was basically in full view.
Walk to the "Pacific Coast" area, go to see the sea lion house, every day there is a fixed time to feed the sea lions, just in time, see the keeper feed the sea lions, the sea lions eat small fish, there is a sea lion has been eaten and has stayed on the shore and refused to return to the water, let the keeper whistle and gesture is not back into the water, Situ four people are happy, the audience next to them are happy, this sea lion is too funny.
After watching the feeding, walk down the trail, you can see the graceful posture of the sea lion swimming in the water, the sea lion is particularly like a lion when it is in the water, the posture is very beautiful, flying forward like an arrow. Coming out of the Sea Lion Pavilion, it was almost time for the Ocean Theater to perform, and the four of them had to find four seats on the side, two in the front and two in the back, so they quickly sat down and waited to watch the performance. After watching the performance, the four of them took the cable car down the mountain.
From the cable car, you can see the beautiful and quiet scenery of Repulse Bay, and the main entrance of Ocean Park is very close to Repulse Bay, so Situ decided to go out from the main entrance and go directly to Repulse Bay. Because it was the Spring Festival, Ocean Park invited a synchronized sleigh performance team to do a show, which was very exciting, and the parents and little Yastuto watched it with relish, and they were a little reluctant to leave.
In the end, under Situ's repeated requests, Xiaoya accompanied Situ to sit on the merry-go-round, Xiaoya was still very embarrassed, but when she got there to line up, there were many adults, Situ squeezed her eyebrows at Xiaoya, Xiaoya ignored it directly, but she was no longer so cowardly.
When the merry-go-round spins, Situ is very happy, repeatedly returning to his childhood, carefree, don't have to worry about anything, just be responsible for being happy, this kind of trance makes Situ very happy, Xiaoya probably knows some of Situ's mood, because he himself feels very happy after the merry-go-round spins. Dad was outside and took pictures of them with his camera.
When they came in, they already knew that they were going to stay in Ocean Park for most of the day, and at noon the four of them ate the bread they brought in the morning, and when they came out of the main entrance, it was already past four o'clock, and the four of them played for a long time on the beach of Repulse Bay, and the scenery here was really pleasant.
Repulse Bay is located in the south of Victoria Shan on Hong Kong Island, surrounded by mountains and seas, the bay is crescent-shaped, known as "the first bay in the world", with the reputation of "Oriental Hawaii", is the most representative bay in Hong Kong. Repulse Bay is said to have originated from a British royal warship that used to be stationed in the bay to defend against pirates, meaning "to repel it". Repulse Bay has a gentle slope and long beach, calm waves, clear and fine sand, wide and clean sandy beaches, and shallow water, making it one of the famous high-end residential areas on Hong Kong Island, with luxury residences in the area. Because in winter, no one swims here, so you can't see people in swimsuits, Situ is very regretful, I thought there were still beautiful men to watch.
The four of them took a lot of photos in Repulse Bay, and decided to leave for the hotel at 5:40. There are some traffic jams on the road, it is almost seven o'clock when I arrive at the reserved hotel, Situ has completed the check-in procedures, on the sixteenth floor, the two rooms are connected together, the four of them go up to put their things, wash their faces and come out, ready to go to the Temple Street Night Market at night to see, by the way, finish eating.
The night market on Temple Street is a unique feature of Hong Kong, and every day at 4pm, the back street is filled with stalls, full of colorful and crowded people, full of all kinds of street stalls. It is most lively from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. Temple Street, located in Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon, is the most famous open-air market in Hong Kong. It is divided into two sections, north and south, and is named Temple Street because there is a temple in the middle section.
Temple Street is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed in Hong Kong, and it is also the place of fireworks in Hong Kong's early days, so when visiting Temple Street, you can pay attention to a lot of stalls selling reprints, counterfeits and pornographic things, and you can see prostitutes soliciting customers under the buildings on the street.
Because Xiao Miao had already told Situ before, considering the atmosphere and the degree of danger, it was best to go between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening, and the four of them went at this time just right. On both sides of the road, which is about 600 meters long between Nanjing Street and Wenmingli, there are open-air shops.
From Nanjing Street to the area of Tin Hau Temple, they all sell suits, sunglasses, belts, leather shoes, and lighters, which are very cheap. Selling a variety of unusually rich, very distinctive, and relatively low prices of small commodities, many visitors to Hong Kong like to visit Temple Street, "Tao" a few interesting gadgets, as tourist souvenirs or gift souvenirs, or worth visiting a good scenic spot.
Along the way, Situ was very curious to look at the people soliciting customers for prostitutes on the side of the road, only to see that they would come forward to talk to single adult men, and some of them would follow after talking, Situ thought to himself, sure enough, this industry has been prosperous for a long time.
Xiaoya asked her what she was looking at, Situ whispered in Xiaoya's ear, Xiaoya was very surprised, probably didn't expect such an industry, and was also more curious than Situ to observe. Situ told his parents that there were some small commodities here, which could be bought back as tourist souvenirs for relatives and friends, and the price was not expensive. When the two old men heard this, they became interested. The four of them walked and strolled, but they were interested.
