Hong Kong & Macau Trip - Day 2 - Sheung Wan, Central, Wanchai, Clearwater Bay

Stop at Sheung Wan and buy my ferry ticket to Macau first. There is a lot of "reseller" that sell the ferry ticket to Macau at a higher price. A very bad culture in my opinion. But I guess business is very good. There is almost a reseller every 20 - 30 step.

An old western style building name Western market here. The building use to be a market but today it is more of a shopping complex.

The famous tram car in Hong Kong. The tram car is one of the earliest public transport in Hong Kong. It provide transport from Shau Kei Wan and Kennedy Town.

View from the top of the car.

Near Wan Chai area, at beneath of a highway, there is a group of lady gathering there. These lady is specialist for one of famous tradition in Chinese society，villain hitting 打小人. This is normally perform when the someone feel that there is a bad villain that is hurting their career or business.
It is nice to see if never see before but in general, villain hitting is consider may cause bad karma.

I get down from the tram car at Causeway Bay and come to this special Spiral pedestrian bridge.This location is also setting for a lot of Hong Kong movie and TV drama. A very interesting fact about this bridge. It is not designed by famous architecture but by a primary school kid.

Move back to Causeway Bay MTR station.

Reach Wan Chai MTR station. 湾仔一向我大晒我玩晒洪兴掌菅一带

While walking on the road to the blue house in Wan Chai. Building in Hong Kong island is build encircle the middle peak. Road in Wan Chai, Central etc is very hilly. So please get a pair of good shoes. For lady, highly recommend for a pair of flat instead of high heels.

Police of Hong Kong. Stop to instruct the car cannot stop at the road and need to move.

The blue house at Wan Chai. This is part of a historic preserve project in Hong Kong. This building is an example of tenement building of the Old Hong Kong. It gives a glimpse of how life is at Hong Kong in the old days.

Pass by a 泰昌餅家. This bakery egg tart is highly recommend by the ex Hong Kong Governor as best egg tart in Hong Kong.

Bought 2 diffeerent type of Egg Tart. After tasting I feel the praise is not really justify. The outer part is crunchy and good but feel oily. The egg tart is too sweet and do not have the egg taste. If the change the egg with other ingredient like milk or strawberry, it won't taste different.

Next stop is Central MTR station. Visit the heart of Hong Kong finance center. The photo above is the Hong Kong Stock Exchange center.

One of my most favourite TV drama 大时代. The final scene part where the stock price rise and the villain lose all their money. In the end the jump from the building top floor.

There is many tourist spot in Central. Thus the road sign is very confusing for first timer.

The famous pedestarian bridge in Central.

Lin Heung Bakery, 莲香楼 is a famous dim sum shop in Hong Kong. The shop is a very tradition dim sum shop with peddler pushing the dim sum car and customer need to almost fight for the dim sum and for the seating place. It is a battle zone. That is the review I got from other blogger. Taste wise, the blogger highly recommend the shop though.

Continue down the same road and you will reach a place where there is a lot of people queuing.
2 famous food shop here. The 胜香园 and 九記牛腩 is here. Both shop is famous for beef related food and do not open on Sunday. But from the crowd, you can be sure the food taste won't be too bad.

Other noodle shop that also famous here. I research for these food shop before my trip. But in the end I did not have my meal here. (>.<)

This is my choice in the end. A Hong Kong gon lou mian.

The noodle is quite good. Wanton is very big but the soup is so so. Overall not bad but considering the price of this noodle is almost RM15. I feel a bit overprice. Ok la... this is Central, Hong Kong.

A school in Central area. Can see the school area is very very small. Little space for other activity for the student. Maybe there is indoor swimming pool, I guess.
