The Ladies Market in Mong  Kok is famous, but the nearby Fa Yuen Street Market is better! WHY???......

(1) Fa Yuen Street Market is easy to walk
Hong Kong Government helps the stall owners to renovate the market. The market becomes cleaner and spacious. It is easy to walk, so easy to shop.

(2) Fa Yuen Street Market is for the locals

A lot of Hong Kong citizens go shopping at Fa Yuen Street. They buy everything there. Apart from shopping, you can see the local life style there.

(3) Fa Yuen Street Market's goods are cheaper

Local citizens know where they can purchase cheaper things. Fa Yuen Street is their first choice. When you shop there, you can enjoy the local price. Bargaining is also acceptable.

(4) Fa Yuen Street Market's goods are more practical
As Fa Yuen Street Market is NOT a tourist market. So you won't find the touristy souvenir there (like the 'Maobama', Mao Zedong + Obama T-shirt). You can actually buy something useful, practical, beautiful and reasonably priced. They can be good souvenir or for your own use.

Fa Yuen Street Market only 5 mins walk from the Bird Market and Flower Market. Don't miss the two interesting places after shopping.

女人街十分有名，但同在旺角的花園街市集就比女人街更好，原因是什麼呢??

(一)花園街更好和更易「行」
幾年前香港政府幫助花園街商販重修市集，市集於是變得更寬敞和更乾淨，自然方便去行街購物的本地人和遊客。

(二)花園街更地道
許多香港市民到花園街購物，遊客除了跟著港人去SHOPPING，還可以看到香港人的生活習慣。

(三)花園街的貨品更便宜

香港人出名精打細算，有許多香港人到的花園街的貨品自然便宜，記著和店主「講價」呀!

(四)花園街的貨品更實際

花園街「不是」一個遊客市集，故你不會找到那些常見的「旅遊紀念品」，如磁貼、鑰匙扣或「毛巴馬」(毛澤東 CROSSOVER奧巴馬)T-SHIRT。你買到的會是價廉物美的貨品，送禮自用皆宜。

花園街與雀仔街和花墟只咫尺之遙，血拼後別忘了那些美麗的鮮花和活潑的鳥兒呀!

Yanmenguan , also known as Xixingguan is the name of a Great Wall pass. Located in Dai County, Xinzhou of Shanxi province in China. The current Yanmenguan reconstruction was built during Ming dynasty and currently known as one of the announced monuments of China.

Yanmenguan is situated on Yanmen Mountain. The east side and the west side of the mountain face each other, and hence the whole mountain looks like a huge door. Yanmen Mountain was named for its door-alike shape, in which "Yanmen" means wild goose door in Chinese.

Great Egrets
Great Egrets are Hong Kong's common resident birds. They catch fish at the river and wetland. You can see them at Hong Kong Wetland Park or Luk Keng Road Lookout Point. Another type of bird, the Little Egrets with the black beak, WON'T become the Great Egrets when they grow up.

Chinese White Dolphins
The unlucky Hong Kong is trying the best to save the endangered mascot, Chinese White Dolphin. They live near the northern part of Lantau Island, where there are lots of construction works.

一幅在山頂廣場的宣傳畫，有四種你可以在香港見到的動物......

大熊貓

中國中央政府總共把四隻大熊貓(安安、佳佳、盈盈、樂樂)送到香港的海洋公園以紀念香港回歸中國。佳佳現已三十七歲，為世上年齡最大的人工飼養大熊貓。

純種賽馬

在香港沙田馬場，有約一千五百隻純種賽馬，牠們是各育馬國家的「貴價出口貨品」。牠們在九月至七月馬季出戰大小賽事，然後像學生一樣，享受一個漫長暑假。

大白鷺

黃喙的大白鷺是香港常見的留鳥，在河涌和濕地捕食。有著黑喙的小白鷺和大白鷺並非同類，故「小」的長大後，不會變成「大」的！在香港濕地公園、鹿頸等地可見牠們的影蹤。

中華白海豚

香港正在努力保育香港的瀕危吉祥物 – 中華白海豚。牠們主要生活在有許多建築工程的大嶼山以北海域，故生存面臨重大威脅。

The entertainment has been very successful since then attracting a great deal of people at home and abroad because of its typical Su zhou flavor of traditional instruments and performance. Night garden just open from spring to autumn.

      Xixia Dinosaur Relic Park locates in Nanyang, which is in the southwestern part of Henan Province. First of all, I'd like to tell you a little something about Nanyang, Nanyang is very famous because of its geographical location, its history and its tradition.

Travel guide books and websites always recommend some must-go points to the individual travelers.  In this post, you can find the better alternatives.

Must-go: Man Mo Temple at Sheung Wan
Better alternative: Lin Fa Kung Temple at Tai Hang
Man Mo Temple's incense coils for making wishes cause the temple to be too smoky. The smoke makes you 'cry' and cough. 

The half-octagonal shape Lin Fa Kung Temple is cleaner as it uses the electric lotus flower lamp.  You can also learn the history of Fire Dragon Parade at this temple for the Goddess of Mercy.

Must-go: Sky-100 Observation Deck at ICC building

Better alternative: The Peak, West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade and the highest bar in the ICC Building
The 175HKD ticket price for Sky-100 may be not reasonable.  The fixed windows cause reflection, which makes photo taking difficult. 

The traditional Victoria Peak or new West Kowloon Waterfront promenade are free of charge.  You can make 'one payment to get two enjoyments' (drink and view) at the highest bar in the World in the same ICC building.

Must-go: Harbour cruise in the Victoria Harbour

Better alternative: Different public ferry rides
Harbour cruises sail around the Victoria harbour for about 2 hours.  After 15 minutes, you may feel boring. 

You can actually be a local to take public ferry rides to see more and learn more.  Like the North Point to Hung Hom Ferry ride, apart from the sea view, you can visit the seafood market at the North Point Pier and try the shopping and culinary options near Hung Hom Pier.

Must-go: Tai O Fishing Village on Lantau Island

Better alternative: Sai Kung Fishing Village
Tai O's traffic is inconvenient.  The stream may have stench during low tide.  Some of you may not like the strong smell of the dried seafood.  The 'Venice in the East' may fall short of the reality.

Sai Kung Fishing Village is easily accessible from the city.  The reasonably priced fresh seafood at the 'Seafood Street' and beaches on the nearby Sharp Island with good water quality are waiting for you.

旅遊攻略常推介一些必到香港景點。此博文就為大家介紹四個必到景點的更佳代替品。

必到景點：上環文武廟
更佳代替品：大坑蓮花宮
文武廟有著太多的塔香，煙霧彌漫，刺激眼睛和喉頭。

蓮花宮空氣素質好，因它只有蓮花燈，廟宇建築為半八角形，別具特色。除了拜觀音，你更可看看大坑舞火龍的歷史。

必到景點：環球貿易廣場天際100觀景台

更佳代替品：山頂、西九龍海濱長廊、環球貿易廣場世界最高酒吧
天際100票價為偏高的175元，密封玻璃令拍照時有反光問題。

免費的代替品就是另外一個必到景點太平山頂和並不太有名的西九龍海濱長廊，或許到同在ICC大樓內最高的酒吧，一面喝酒，一面觀景，一個價錢，兩種享受，較為化算。

必到景點：維港海上遊

更佳代替品：乘坐港內渡輪
維港海上遊一去最少兩小時，或許十五分鐘後，你已覺得沉悶。

其實你可以像香港市民一樣乘搭各條港內渡輪航線，例如你可先參觀北角碼頭的海鮮市場，再乘船觀海景，最後在紅磡碼頭黃埔花園吃飯購物。

必到景點：大嶼山大澳漁村

更佳代替品：西貢漁村
大澳交通不便，河流在低潮時或有異味，鹹魚海味氣味充斥小鎮，「東方威尼斯」或許名不副實。

西貢可從市區直達，交通便利，海鮮街有價廉物美的的新鮮水產，附近的橋咀島有水清沙幼的海灘，都等著你去品嘗和暢泳。
