The Sun Yat Sen of Hong Kong

May 8, 2007
HK - Day 3

I started my day off with an early morning laundry wash followed by a
brunch at a local eatery with a couple of my fellow students. We ordered a dinner menu of bbq pork, duck, gailan and curry. It was a good meal, but I was disappointed that it tasted no better than the Chinese food served in Vancouver. I've been hoping to be blown away by authentic Chinese food here, but it seems authenticity has already made its way across the Pacific.

The group then headed towards the Sun Yat Sen Museum in Aberdeen.

Nearing the Peak tram

At night, we took the tram up to Hong Kong's famous Peak; a mountain top with a spectacular view of the city. Expectedly, we were greeted by a shopping center at the summit. We ended up visiting Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum for a while before grabbing dinner at Mc Donald's and snapping some photos of the Hong Kong skyline.
