This is Part Two of our 4 days in Hong Kong.

In this second episode we take a spectacular glass bottom cable car to Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) and Po Lin Mon Monastery.
We used “Get Your Guide” to prebook but you can also prebook direct via website: https://www.np360.com.hk/en.

On the way back we stoped at Nathan Road and had a wander around the amazing Chungking Mansions.

The next day we visited the south side of Hong Kong island: Taxi to Shousan Hill to visit where Andy lived back in 1980’s. Then walked down to the quiet beach of Deep Water Bay. We then walked along the sea level footpath via Middle Island to Repulse Bay. A short bus ride then took us to Stanley, where we visit the market, beach and have a drink at Smugglers Inn. Return to Central via bus.

In the evening we take a fantastic personal tour of Kowloon’s markets and sample some wonderful and very varied street food.
