Blog#4 DST--Traveling in HongKong

In my opinion, Hong Kong is an entirely fashionable and fast-paced city. When I stand on the corner of street, I can see everybody walks so fast. In the subway station，people walk on the escalator instead of standing. This is different from my hometown—Tianjin’s situation. Although Hong Kong streets are fully narrow, people stand in order and most are very courteous.

Firstly, I will introduce how to choose a suitable hotel. In my mind, I recommend that first two days you live in Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel and spend the other days in Park Lane Hotel. However, traffic around Gold Coast Hotel is not very convenience, gorgeous scenery will be experienced when you live in this hotel. I enjoyed sitting on the coast and appreciating the fascinating sunset that can let me relax totally. I also drive a yacht to fishing. That is very exciting. After I leave this hotel, I move my temporary home to Park Lane Hotel. This hotel located in Causeway Bay one of the Hong Kong’s bustling commercial districts and next to the subway station. The location is very convenience for shopping and eating. There are many good restaurants surrounded by extremely delicious foods. My favorite restaurant is Itacho Sushi. The taste of sushi is very different from Tianjin. This Sushi is fresher than Tianjin’s. I think the reason is Tianjin’s restaurants put all fishes in the fridge to keep freezing, so fishes were died and the taste lost the fish original taste.

Furthermore, I am good at shopping. As we know, Hong Kong is tax-free heaven. Therefore, I usually buy many famous brands’ clothes, because the price is absolutely cheaper than Tianjin. Maybe it is 3 precent off. Moreover, there are a lot of different styles of goods and a large number of stores in Hong Kong. I don’t have enough time shopping in all these stores in every trip. Thus I need make a decision which store I should go; there are many famous stores around Park Lane Hotel. The reason why I prefer to living in this Hotel is that when I get tired, I can come back hotel to get a good relax and then keep going on shopping. However, other good stores are far from my hotel. For example, the Harbor City Store is the biggest store in Hong Kong, which includes hundreds of brands to give customers more opportunities to buy what they want. Therefore, I usually spend one day in here. Fortunately, sometimes I also can meet some entertainment stars when I shopping in this store.

In addition, many restaurants have different country’s food styles. My favorite one is the western-style food in the Verandah where located in Repulse Bay. In Tianjin, this kind of tasty food will be very hardly to find out. I also taste some Hong Kong’s snack, which is very popular in Hong Kong, such as Wonton Noodles, Fish With Lettuce, French toast, Steamed Fish Dumplings and Steamed Prawn Dumpling.

In this trip, I point out many different cultural experiences between Tianjin and HK. Hong Kong’s people dress more fashionable. You cannot compare books’ price between Tianjin and Hong Kong. HK’s book price is pretty higher than Tianjin’s. Different food tastes between two places. Foods in Hong Kong are fresher. People’s life paces are faster than Tianjin. The most difference is that too many HK people enjoy the nightlife, but Tianjin doesn’t have. For example, in Hong Kong I still can see hundreds of people on the street and in the restaurant until midnight or more late, but in Tianjin there are less people and cars on the street after 9 p.m. Furthermore in Hong Kong many stores and restaurants close very later, the latest closing time is 10 p.m. In conclusion, Hong Kong has very different culture and lifestyle from Tianjin.
