This morning we thought it would be a good idea to head to the Peak and do one of the walks recommended in the Hong Kong Tourist Bureau walking brochure. 7km isn’t too far, so we headed into Hong Kong to catch the bus up to the Peak, in readiness to walk down. It was a lovely walk, but in 34 degrees, with high humidity, we decided against the extra 30minutes to walk to the top of the mid-levels escalator then walk back down to Star Ferry Pier and took the bus instead. The new Star Ferry Pier is much improved on the old one, and there is still a lot of building work going on – when it is finished it should provide a much improved entrance to Hong Kong island. We headed into Jade Garden for lunch, then on to Kung Fu Corner, Kung Fu demonstrations in Kowloon park. Some of the demonstrations were quite interesting, but it was hot, we were standing in the sun, and our legs & feet were sore!
From here, we headed up to Yau Ma Tei and the Bird and Flower markets, both of which were interesting, then to the Ladies Market, before finally heading back to the hotel. So after walking around in the heat all day we are now extremely sweaty and exhausted!
