Another hill in Hong Kong

They like a hill in Hong Kong. To get to it, you have to cross the harbour on a ferry (a bit like Sydney).

Then you have to catch a really steep tram up the hill. On the top of the hill, you can see all of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong has lots of markets, and people eat outside a lot.

We went to a seafood restaurant where you can see all the fresh food (before it is cooked) alive in tanks outside. You could see the crabs, fish and prawns swimming around.

Kung Fu Panda was here

Have you seen the movie Kung Fu Panda? If you have, you can probably remember the bit where he tries to climb loads of steps up to a temple? Well, in Hong Kong they have something just like that. It's a big Buddha on a hill.

There were over 200 steps to the top, and like Kung Fu Panda, I was tired after the first five!

I also wanted to learn the ancient art of tai chi, so I joined a class taught by a man who was just like Master Wu Gwai in Kung Fu Panda.

Famous people from Hong Kong

This is me with Bruce Lee. He was famous for his kung fu.

And here is me with Jackie Chan. Funnily enough, he is famous for kung fu too.

Hong Kong Disneyland

On the way back from England, we stopped in Hong Kong for a week and spent 2 days at the newest Disneyland. We stayed in one of the Disneyland Hotels, and got to stay up late as the park was open until 11pm! I could have supper at 9:30pm and swim in the pool until 10pm too.

Everything in the hotel had Mickey Mouse ears on it, even the shampoo bottles, the lift buttons and train windows. See the picture of me on the train below? Look closely at the things you hang onto when you are standing up.




There were 3 lands, and my favourite one was Tomorrowland which had the Space Mountain ride.
