Hong Kong - Day 2

we discovered that Auberge Discovery Bay has a Kids' Club, while we were exploring the hotel after eating breakfast. 

the Kids' Club is amazing. there was a playground, a bowling machine, 2 bball machines, a table tennis table, a pool table, as well as a piano. 

yuanze went crazy at the Kids' Club, and didn't even want to leave. :p


the famous monument at Discovery Bay for couples to hold their wedding. 

thank god for good weather in the morning! when we reached Hong Kong yesterday it was drizzling. today was clear sky. 



yesterday during check-in, i asked the staff how should i get to sha tin from auberge discovery bay. he recommended us to take the MTR, because the car journey is quite long. darling gets nausea easily when taking rides on the taxi, especially those very aggressive taxi drivers who brake very aggressively. i checked google maps. if take taxi, it will be around 40 min journey. if take public transport, it will be around 1 hr 37 min. the siong part about taking public transport is that we have to change train 4 times, and we are bringing yuanze, together with all our luggage. so i checked with my parents whether are they ok to take public transport, and they are ok with it. 

Auberge Discovery Bay provides complimentary shuttle service to Disneyland Resort, as well as to Sunny Bay MTR station. 

So let me share what was our route from Auberge Discovery Bay, to Courtyard Marriott Sha Tin. 

From Auberge Discovery Bay we took the shuttle bus to Sunny Bay MTR. 
Sunny Bay MTR take train to Lai King MTR (tung chung line). 
At Lai King MTR, alight and change to Tsuen Wan line, towards Prince Edward MTR. 
At Prince Edward MTR, alight and change to Kwun Tung line, towards Kowloon Tong MTR. 
At Kowloon Tong MTR, alight and change to East Rail line, towards Tai Wai MTR. 
At Tai Wai MTR, alight and change to Ma On Shan line, towards Shek Mun MTR. 
From Shek Mun MTR, walk 450 m to Courtyard Marriott Sha Tin. 

google maps really very accurate. we took the 10 am shuttle bus from Auberge. And we reach Courtyard Marriott Sha Tin at 1137 am. OMG!!! 

courtyard marriott sha tin is really a very nice, high class hotel. darling and i went to courtyard marriott at Boston, and both of us agree that courtyard marriott sha tin is more grand and more high class than courtyard boston. 



courtyard marriott also provides free complimentary shuttle service to 3 places: new town plaza (next to sha tin MTR station), kowloon station, and tsim sha tsui. 

shek mun MTR station nearby also has alot of eateries. after checking in, we went to Dim Sum Deluxe for lunch, a place that i found on google maps. the food at Dim Sum Deluxe is not bad, and the chefs all look very young. just that the restaurant itself is too small, and can only seat about 20 people. order their scallop dumpling with XO sauce! it was really good that my parents wanted to have more. 

our next destination was new town plaza, a very big shopping mall. and there were too many many many many people. so we just went to this snoopy exhibition at new town plaza, and went to Tai Wai MTR station to find a dinner place. 





and this concludes Day 2!
