In my Christmas Vacation last year, my parents and I went Hong Kong to enjoy our holiday. Because we never went there, so we employed a guider for us. But I can not believe the "horrible" experience would happen.
1. Our first stop is Ocean Park. Opened in 1977, it is one of Hong Kong's perennially popular attractions, providing an exciting mix of entertainment, education and conservation facilities. The 200-acre park is situated on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, with rides, exhibits and facilities on both sides of the mountain. A cable car system links the lowland and headland sections, offering spectacular views en route.
Ocean Park works to promote and support animal conservation in Hong Kong and throughout the Asia region. It has, in co-operation with other conservation organization, launched various conservation programs for a number of endangered species, including whales and dolphins. In addition, it has successfully bred rare species of birds, sharks and butterflies. Although we were very tired, we got lots of fun together. In the evening, we went back to hotel to enjoy delicious foods.
2. The next day we visited new and fun-filled entertainment facilities which are introduced from time to time. Over the past few years, new rides and exhibits such as Pacific Pier (2001); the Mine Train (2000); The Hong Kong Jockey Club Giant Panda Habitat (1999); Discovery of the Ancient World (1997); the Flying Swing (1997) and the Film Fantasia Simulator Ride (1996) have entertained thousands of visitors.
3. Most friends went to Hong Kong before told me the Disneyland is the place you should never miss. Situated in Penny's Bay on Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland is unique among Disney theme parks in its incorporation of Chinese culture. The 55 acre park which was opened in September 2005 has a capacity of 34,000 visitors per day. Despite being the smallest Disneyland in the world Hong Kong Disneyland has a unique charm of its own which makes it an ideal outing for people of all ages.
In the noon, I got the phone call from my friend Emma and she told me do not forget buy present for her. Oops, I almost forget that! Then I consulted the guider Mary Zhang where to buy the souvenirs in Hong Kong. She leaded us to one shop near Victoria Bay. There are so many kinds of small gifts, key chains, perfume in small bottle, bags etc. I was deeply attracted by one bag with Chinese redbud. Also I knew Emma would like it too. So I made decision it was the one. I took it to the counter and already to pay. The boss took out one his forefinger, and I took one hundred dollars out. But he said it is one thousand dollar. Oh, my god! How such a bag valued one Thousands dollar? I could not believe that. Then I replied that I would not buy it and tended to go out of the shop. However, the boss did not let me go and ask me to pay one thousands dollar for the bag. Finally I called the policeman and ran out of that shop. What a terrible experience!
In the next few days, I did not dare to go any shop to buy present for my friend and always stayed in hotel. One day, I searched online and found an online store which located in Hong Kong and I found the same bag with Chinese redbud which is only $55. I placed one order for several items and got the package very soon.
