Guangzhou l Hongkong Family Trip [Day 1]

We are back!!! From our 8D9N family trip in Guangzhou and Hongkong....

Conclusion: 

We had fun, or rather only the bunnies and I had fun... 

While poor daddy had to nurse a fever in the mid of the trip (P/s: Daddy still prefer the chill-lax Bali trip)... 

And why did the rest of us had so much fun?? We simply adored the weather and amid the weather while doing all the following....

(1) Day 1: Nice lunch and dinner @ 2 different restaurants voted as top 5 restaurants in Guangzhou

(2) Day 2: Day trip to Foshan to view movie sets and to pray

(3) Day 3: Visit to Chimelong Safari Park and enjoy the Chimelong International Circus (Bunnies Fav!)

(4) Day 4: Mummy's ME time i.e. shopping @ wholesale market @ 630am (Mummy Fav!)

(5) Day 5: Visit to Disneyland by Disney MTR (Bunnies Fav!)

(6) Day 6: Shopping @ Sham Shui Po and Ladies Market

(7) Day 7: Visit to Ocean Park (Bunnies Fav!)

(8) Day 8: Last minute shopping @ Sham Shui Po 

Dear and I still don't really fancy a holiday to China (except their wholesale market shopping for me) but we are really impressed with the Safari Park and the circus. Hongkong on the other end was much more enjoyable but visits to 2 theme parks (especially Disneyland) really tire Mummy out. Will we back again? Well, Hongkong is a definite yes but not so sure about China.....

Day 1...

21st March, we left for Guangzhou on a night flight with Tiger Air. The bunnies had a great time at the airport prior to boarding as they loved the big space and they were excited about boarding the plane... The adults however didn't enjoy the budget air a lot due to the space constraint... Made us missed our  SQ flights more...  

Reached Guangzhou airport after 4hrs at 2am in the morning... Clearing the customs was a breeze (I guessed is the small crowd due to timing of flight arrivals)... Our picked up driver welcomed us warmly and soon we were on our way to our hotel...the weather was however COLD.... So cold that I gotta put on a scarf over my neck amid a cardigan over me...

Settled down promptly at the hotel (Yi De Hotel) and soon we we zzz-ing... The night flight tired us all and we only woke up close to lunch time the next morning despite not liking our hotel room...

About the rooms... Totally not impressed with the hotel hence no photos on it.. 1st night, my parents took a triple room while dear parents and us took a 2-bedroom apartment... The apartment cannot make it, small and filled with faulty things like doors, electronic etc, hence next morning when we woke up, we immediately request to change to 2 triple rooms... Luckily the hotel was accommodating and our requests were all accepted.. Though the triple room was better, but compared to our hotel room at Hard Rock which we visited last than a month ago, the difference is really too great to accept... Ke Ke Ke

Our itinerary for the day... Eating cum shopping all day long... 

We had lunch and dinner @ 2 of the top 5 restaurants in Guangzhou, 陶陶居 and 蹈香 respectively... Verdict of Food = Impressive!!! To digest our food in between lunch and dinner, we spent time shopping at their 步行街 in the day (something similar to bugis street) and 天河城  at night (similar to our Takashimaya)... Did't buy a lot of things on the 1st day though... Maybe cos we were still exploring the area... 

Catch little batman @ the Airport... P/s : while waiting for our flight out...
