Our delicious breakfast
Today, we be going to Sheung Wan and Central, Hong Kong Island visiting all the tourist spots of course :) Most of the spots we went as below, others include Soho etc.
Western District (Sheung Wan) Details from website
Western Market in Sheung Wan is a handsomely renovated Edwardian building filled with Chinese handicraft stores and fabric shops. It is situated at the corner of Connaught Road and Morrison Street, Sheung Wan. The area to the west is famous for its small Chinese-style shops selling dried seafood and medicinal herbs.
Cat Street bazaar is best known for stalls and shops selling antiques, such as watches, old coins and stone carvings.
The area is also home to many interesting Chinese herbal medicine stores.
Central (Details from website)
Two parallel streets in Central known as "The Lanes", Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West are a riot of stalls hawking everything from inexpensive clothing, watches and costume jewellery to luggage and shoes. Situated between Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road Central, the market is open daily from 10am to 7pm
Stanley Street is known for its range and reasonably priced photographic equipment. Hollywood Road winds above the Central business district and is Hong Kong's antiques row. Farther west towards Sheung Wan is a bustle of sidewalk hawkers on Central's stepped "ladder" streets.

Our first stop will be the Western Market, which both of us only spent like 10 mins in the building of 3 levels. Nothing much inside, so I just not sure why is this listed as one of the tourist spot. Basically, I felt most of the tourist spots listed in the mag are bo liao and waste time areas.
Tram of HK
After walking thru roads after roads, streets after streets, we arrived at Soho with the help of the longest escalator in HK or is it the world or Asia? Nmind, anyway, Soho I suppose will be much more of a happening area at night than in the day time.

After we done with all the markets and spots listed in all the mag we got our hands on, we walked thru the shopping centre that house the branded brand like LV, Dior etc. There is this particular building that I love cos all the brand I love is there, the LV store is a 3 level store I think or 4 level cant remember. And the Dior store is big too compare with the one in Sin.
By the time we done with all the shopping, it was already late afternoon. So we decided to go back to the hotel for a short rest and than out for dinner.
Dinner was just a simple affair of Wanton Noodles at HK$10 per bowl. The wanton is nice but not the noodles so I only finished my 3 wantons and left the noodles behind.
