Fresh Fruit

Fresh fruit anyone? You can find it on almost every street corner. It is always so fresh and beautiful.

Hong Kong Park

In the middle of a huge city it was great to find a peaceful park to walk and relax in. Here we are inside a big water fountain.

The Flower Market

Here is the famous flower market in Mong Kok. Any type of flower or plant you can find here!

Ocean Park

Spread over 870,000 sq. meters, Ocean Park is built on both sides of a mountain linked together by cable cars. There is a huge aquarium filled with amazing sealife as well as a dolphin show, giant pandas, rides, restaurants, gift shops and more!
Each year my kindergarten class took a day trip here. It was exhausting but lots of fun! Thank goodness for the parent volunteers.

Monkey Mountain

Monkey Mountain is located just outside of Tai Wai. You have to be careful not to carry any food on you or the monkeys will try to get it...they are very aggressive!
On our first hike up there we only saw a couple of monkeys but the second time we went we saw tons of them with babies....they were so cute!

Big Buddha

Here is the Giant Buddha located on Lantau Island. We took a very long bus ride up there 2 years ago during our Christmas break.


It is the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha at 34 meters high and weighing 250 tons.

To reach the Big Buddha you have to climb 268 steps! (Yep, we counted!)
