Lost in Hongkong - The Tour

Date: March 28th
Time: 9:00 AM

I don't know, but when you're in a new place, the excitement to roam around seem to overcome you. For me, it did push.

We started the day early and walked towards Victoria Park where the annual Hongkong Flower Show 2010 is slated. This activity is part of their Spring Festival - months long celebration of the new season.

The Hongkong Flower Show 2010 @ The Victoria Park, Victoria Road, Causeway Bay

So there we where..fell in line for tickets, took a few photos at the entrance and checked out the layout of what's in store.

The event is a showcase of flowers each participating country' floral beauty. There are booths that brag their respective traditional garden landscapes and there are unique landscaping and gardening ideas there too. In additions, flocks of photographers are seen in the area admiring and taking photos of one subject - flowers.

Perhaps the pictures would explain more what we enjoyed seeing there.

A sea of tulips at the middle of the park flocked by photographers and visitors

a pumpkin coach, perhaps Cinderella's?

That girl riding on the carabao is...

actually part of this bonsai.

It was an enjoyable sight indeed. Anyway, after admiring each and every booth, we ate a few sideroad snacks to fill up. But that didn't end our day.

We rested at our headquarters to get ready shopping! Next stop: Tung Chung - where some of the outlets of branded footwear and apparel are found - of course at a discounted rate!
