Of course the first thing to do when you visit Hong Kong is a trip on the cable car to Ngong Ping village on Lantau Island.
I love this. Chinese parents asking their only child to pose for a cute, festive picture. One of a thousand pictures the child will pose for on that same day.
And this was lunch.
The king and queen of China. Off with their heads!
Ngong Ping Monastery, where all the monks hang out. Lots of incense, lots of sacrificial fruits and flowers, and looooots of chanting.
No buddhist tour is complete without climbing millions of stairs to rub a buddha belly for good luck. Slinky, slinky, go slinky go!
Beautiful architecture of the ancient Chinese.
And shop till you drop.
Dinner: REAL Chinese take aways. Baked rice with tomato and pork chops with Carlsberg on the side. Yum.
