Hey, so sad news, summer holiday has come to an end :( I'm now back to the UK, which has been freezing for the past few days... Sorry if we haven't been updating the blog for a while, it's because uni has just started and we need to get used to the study life again. Anyway, I want to share what I have been doing in Hong Kong and show you some beautiful pictures of this small city as it is quite different from the UK and other parts of the world :) SO, here's the highlight of my summer in my home town!

My rainbow birthday cake with family. My birthday is actually in February, but because I wash't at home to celebrate it with my family, so we did in June :P The cake looked really nice, but it had too much cream which was a bit sickening :/

Qing Yuan
I went away for a few days with my parents to another town in China which was called Qing Yuan. It was very countryside-ish, and we spent ages on the coach to get to our destination. However, the atmosphere and air were fresher and much nicer than Hong Kong which was great :) Also, the view of the countryside was amazing :)
|
This was incredibly amazing, it looked like a painting when I was there! |
|
I have no idea what the gold thing represents behind me, and nor do I think I was allowed to stand on there, but I thought it looked really Chinese, so I took a picture with it...? |
|
Again, I don't know the story behind this place, but I thought it looked Chinese so I took a picture :S haha |

I went to a cafe in Hong Kong and its theme was that you can bring your cats here to play with other cats. I am a cat person, so it was a pleasant experience to be there :) |

Sai Kung, which was a great place to relax and enjoy the sun :)

Cheung Chau - a small island in Hong Kong. To get there, I needed to be on a ferry from the city and the journey took about 45 mins :)
|
The view of the island on top of the hill, which was breathtaking! |
|
I stayed there for 2 days, and I got a bit cloud crazy haha! |
|
The view from our small holiday apartment, and it was nice and windy :) |

Cafe 103 at Ritz-Cartlon Hotel
I went to the tallest building in Hong Kong which was called International Commerce Centre (what a boring name -,-), it has 118 floors- pretty insane eh? Anyway I was only on floor 103 for a lunch buffet, and in my opinion, that's exciting enough haha :P
|
At the hotel :) |
|
The macaroons there were so yummy, and I went pretty crazy on the desert bar haha :P |
|
The view from floor 103! Notice all the tall buildings and how crowded they are... The taller buildings are usually offices, and the shorter ones are flats/apartment. |

This is the night view at the habour, I was actually on a ferry when this was taken. It was beautiful and such a relaxing city view :) |
