after we bid farewell to costa allegra,we start by visiting man mo temple. this is the oldest temple in hong kong,located in the historic center of the city. inside, a multitude of incense spirals burn slowly,releasing a faint smoke everywhere. after driving around hong kong island, we embark on asampan for a short ride through aberdeen harbour. we first discover the famous floating restaurantwhich appeared in many films.
Flower Market Road, more than 30 million people have visited this attraction. we continue our ride through the fishing harbour,overlooked by very tall residential buildings. our sampan sails among fishing boats,which almost form a floating village. our next stop is the city of stanley,located at the south end of hong kong island.
stanley market is a tourist destination, the ideal placeto buy souvenirs before heading to the airport. we board the bus againtowards the center of hong kong. the road offers a beautiful viewover the city of stanley and repulse bay. we are back to kowloon and flower market road,which obviously is a flower market. but as we fly in a few hours, we only take a lookat the orchids and carnivorous plants. we continue to the airport. the bus drives along the container port, one of thelargest in the world after singapore and shanghai. our final stop is on the island of tsing yi. we can see lantau link, a 3500 m long bridge whichgives access to lantau island and to the airport.
