Mid-Autumn Festival happens when the largest full moon is in the sky. This year it fell early in September which gave Onions and I a 3-day weekend in Hong Kong!! First stop, Hong Kong Style Dim Sum. |
This is going to be an Onions centric post! So get ready. Here he is ordering for both of us....no English on the menu. |
Ahhh propoganda. I don't think most Hong Kong residents are really that excited about China's Communist Party anniversary! |
After Dim Sum, we participated in Hong Kong's national sport....SHOPPING. Harbour City is actually three malls linked together. |
We then visited Onions aunt and her family. Thai dinner! Onions' aunt emigrated to Hong Kong in the 1970's. |
The view south from Victoria Peak |
The view north into Hong Kong harbor.....I like how the boats are lined up! |
That restaurant we were looking for? There was an outpost of it at the top of Victoria Peak! Bonus. |
The noodles are great but the soup....is a duck broth. I'm not sure what made it so special (it tasted good) or so expensive, but Onions was happy! |
Oh, and as we were leaving Victoria Peak....this sign. |
Last day, a cruise around Victoria Harbor.....and then.... |
...we went out to the New Territories, right on the border of Shenzhen for dinner at Onions aunt's house. |
This kid....six years old, ate everything in sight. I think I must have been exactly like him! |
After this photo (Onions aunt is with the baby, her granddaughter), it was off to the airport for a late night flight back to Beijing! |
