Becca&Lauren:The Sights We Saw



Sunday was a day full of sight seeing for us.  We started out on a bus tour to the largest Buddha in the world.  The picture above is of Lauren and I with some other friends at the bottom of the Buddha statue.  We couldn't quite get in the air at the same time... but all fun anyway.   We spent an hour checking out this major tourist spot which had lots of shops and traditions before we got back on the bus to ride back down the mountain.  Our tour guide, William, had lots to share about Hong Kong.


After the Buddha, we headed over to Stanley Market- a beautiful market along a shoreline.  We both bought porcelain bracelets for gifts and picked up some candy for the bus ride.  After the market we headed up to Victoria's Peak which is known for its view of the city.  In the picture above we're at the peak looking out over the city.  We are so lucky we got to see these parts of Hong Kong.


After the sun went down we went to watch the light show over the harbor.  Hong Kong has the largest light show that included lights and lasers on buildings across the harbor that starts every night at eight.  The show is synchronized to music and attracted lots of tourists and locals.  After the light show we took a cruise around the harbor on a boat.  Every day has been full of adventure and today we definitely lived up to the excitement of Hong Kong.
