Trip to Hongkong

On 27th of December we started our journey to India. We stayed in Hongkong for 3 days on our way this time.We booked Regal oriental hotel from Korea . Hongkong is a subtropical country and the best time to visit is during the dry season thats the winters . Its easy to move around in Hongkong as most people know english . We visited some of the popular destinations like Giant buddha at Lantau island, victoria peak, symphony of lights show at victoria harbour, and stanley area.
