Macau HK Trip Day 4

Its our second day in Hong Kong! And since we happened to be here during the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, we decided to join in the excitement at Cheung chau.

Our schedule for the day is  Cheung Chau Island --> Hotel --> The Peak --> Madame Tussaud Museum -->Hotel



Arriving at the Central Pier at 10am




And there were many who were earlier than us! 




The queue is so long that Hong Kong Police are deployed to manage the crowd

Initially, we were in the queue for the express ferry, but when we were allowed to enter the gates, the ferry was super packed that they closed for boarding. We were then given the seats for the normal ferry so we took it instead.

You can pay Cash or use your Octopus card to pay for the ferry.



Reminds me of the ferry which we used to take to go to Sentosa




Good Fengshui



Our kiasu-ness helped us get a seat in the ferry



Everyone rushing out the moment we reach Cheung Chau



Big colourful wooden signboards at the jetty


Need to find out what that is


This path leads to the police quarters



The only toilet available is at the beach



Watching People enjoying themselves




Love the happenings here


Stepping into the housing estate



A corner block full of potted plants
