Aqua Luna!

T o me, Hong Kong is a city of lights! And one of the best way to take in all the lights and sights of this magnificent city would be to go on a boat ride.

There are many options for a boat ride in Hong Kong but one of my favourites is the Aqua Luna. The Chinese red sail junk boats offer a relaxed 45 min ride across the Victoria Harbour. The boats leave from Central and Tsim Sha Tshui.

I have always taken the evening cruise from Central which is approximately  HKD 195 / person (includes one complimentary drink). It might seem a bit exorbitant to some but the crew on board do make you feel special and ensure that you have a great 45 minute cruise.

 They do have cruise to Discover Bay and Stanley in the afternoon. If you are planning to take the junk boat from Central - it leaves from Central ferry pier 9.

Walk around the Peak - Lugard Road, Hong Kong

This was quite an impromptu plan, and boy I love them! Post our scrumptious lunch at the Peak Galleria, we decided to go on a leisurely walk around Lugard Road. It may not have been the right time to go for a walk, but it wasn't too sunny and the Lugard Road stretch has a canopy of trees which makes the walk quite pleasant.

Lugard Road built in 1913's  and is named after the 14th Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Fredrick Lugard. Its a simple walk (no steep inclines) with the best panoramic view of the Victoria Harbour.

The stretch begins near the Peak Tower and ends there too through Harlech Road. The time to complete this Peak Circle walk would depends on how many times you stop to admire the spectacular views. 

You can sit on these benches and admire the view or read a book. It's simply lovely!

Hong Kong - sky100

It was a regular Sunday evening and 'The Husband' & I decided to visit sky100. It is an observation deckon the 100th floor of the International Commerce Centre (ICC), the tallest building in Hong Kong. 

Sky100 offers a 360 degree view of the city.

The observation deck also has a cafe/bar called Vista. You can enjoy a drink or two and soak in the views.

You can book tickets for sky100 online on their website or purchase it from the counter at the venue. It's open from 10 am to 9 pm (the last entry is at 8pm).
