CHINA

Being in Hong Kong in winter felt amazing. It is not too cold nor hot. It is always nice to escape to somewhere that is not hot and humid like Singapore. Not to mention all those pretty Christmas lights in the streets are so mood lifting. If you would like to visit Hong Kong, I would definitely recommend travelling in Nov – Jan.

Victoria Peak

The best way to get to Victoria Peak is via group tour. With this, you get to skip the long lines queuing for the tram. You can easily made an advanced booking via Klook. We went to see Madame Tussaud’s as well but it was not as great as the one I have been to (Bangkok, London) hence I would not recommend.

Causeway Bay

Going to causeway bay is a must too, especially if you want to shop! There are many high end malls around the area. It is pretty nice to be there during winter because of all the Christmas decorations. The holiday vibe is real y’all.

Hong Kong Disneyland

Disneyland Hong Kong, you have definitely wow-ed me last winter! I would love to come back again (only in winter). The only problem was there were SO many people and there are long queues everywhere. It is probably best to get express pass ticket to be able to enjoy all the rides! I bought the normal pass and have missed out on a lot of rides, sadly. Next goal, to stay in Disneyland hotel for at least a night! Anyone?

It was a 2 week immersion programme with Nanyang Polytechnic and the reason I chose this destination was because I wanted to skip general studies module for the following semester. I did not exactly enjoy my time in Guang Zhou but it was definitely a huge learning experience for me. The main thing that made the trip bearable was the company that I had. Let’s just conclude what actually happened while I was there. One thing to highlight is that you are going to have a hard time travelling around Guang Zhou if you do not have a Chinese speaking companion. Also, finding good halal restaurants here are not easy!
