there are souvenir shops! and there's also some electronic and gadget shops where i was able to buy a sony psp at a reasonable price
it's crowded everywhere and the most challenging part is the haggling among chinese vendors!
there are so many yet to be visited places in our itinerary but here comes our last few days, despite the pouring rain! (summer in manila)
one of the most famous hong kong attraction, the avenue of stars!
where there's the hong kong version of walk of fame of some of the famous celebrities in china! along the harbour of victoria
and on our last day, we explored the central district of hong kong! where the popular victoria peak is located!
we've headed upward via peak tram ride going there!

| March 7 | the Hong Kong Skyline |
 |
| March 7 | our home in the last 5 days in Hong Kong! |
and then there's a deck on top of the peak tower
where we've seen the beautiful panoramic view of the city's skyline!
plus there are also some retail and dine-in outlets!
it's a bittersweet that the tour on this amazing city has come to an end on the 5th day,
by the way, we also get the chance to visit a catholic church to offer a thanksgiving
i’d love to go back and see more, and i hope to do it next year with papa and mama. thank you Lord for this wonderful and worthwhile experience!
