Lantau Island, HK




Right after the HKTDC seminar, I headed off to see Ngong Ping Village. I took the metro lines and hit the cable car to the Lantau island. Not a fan of heights, putting myself together inside the car wasn't easy. Spectacular view of the mountainous terrain and the Tu Chung bay has calm me in some ways. In the village you'll find shops, restaurants, a theatre and the Big Buddha at the end of the walk. There is also a monastery near the buddha temple.

Hong Kong trip




This trip was the least stressful of all. Thanks to my company, everything has been arranged according to my preference, round trip tickets with transfers, 5 star hotel and allowance in USD. I was sent there for work. Had to see and experience the Fashion capital of Asia and do some research. Attending HKTDC is one.

HKTDC hosts seminars, fashion shows and exhibits every season. Most fashion forecasts are adapted to asian taste and seasons. It's amazing to hear native chinese speakers delivering their speeches in british accent. In the exhibits, you'll meet supplier from all over asia and get sample freebies.
