Hong Kong Holiday: Day Six

This morning we were headed to the Jade market to check it out, so when we left the hotel we headed for Central and from there to Jordan which was the closest stop. However, it being CNY, the Jade market was completely closed. While that means it won’t be open until Friday after I leave, Richard will try and get a chance to visit later in his time in HK. So we wandered around that area, working our way back towards the Ladies’ Market. We stopped for fresh juice, I bought a second band for my Apple Watch, and I picked up a cute skirt at a cheap store (for the equivalent of about 8 pounds), before deciding some time around 3pm we should eat some lunch. We found a local dim sum which was very cheap and delicious to stop for lunch in that area.

After that we headed back to Central and the hotel to make a quick change of shoes to proper walking shoes. Then we continued up hill, to the Peak. We had intended to take the Peak Tram, but it was crazy busy so we just walked. It took about 45 minutes, but it was super super up hill. It was sweaty hiking! At the top is a viewing platform inside a shopping centre, but they closed it due to crowding and so we went to a balcony instead. It was quite hazy but we could see a lot and it was really pretty. The sun set while we were there which we pretty much missed due to the weather, but it was a really pleasant walk back down in the dark.

For dinner we decided we wanted a small geographical change, so we went for sushi to a sushi train called Genki Sushi. But it is not a sushi train like you would expect! There were three rails in front of us, different levels, and the train came out to deliver our dishes, stopped in front of us, then returned to its depot at the kitchens. It was super cool! And I have to admit, Japanese made a nice change to all the Chinese food we’ve been having. Now we’re back in the hotel for a relatively early night before heading earlier than usual out to Lantau Island tomorrow for the day. Just tomorrow together left, then I have Thursday to myself before heading to Australia.
