How to do a two day trip to Hong Kong!

Day 1: On our first day we arrived in Hong Kong quite late so we just got a taxi from airport to our hotel, settled in and got a takeaway to our room and enjoyed the gorgeous view out of our windowm

Day 2: We really wanted to get the most out of our short trip to Hong Kong so we had quite a full day. We got up early and headed to the Metro station ( luckily our hotel provided a shuttle to the station) We found the Metro very simple to use and we arrived at Tung Chung to do the glass bottom Nnong Ping cable car. it was one of the most incredible things I have ever done, it was stunning. We then arrived at the Nnong Ping village to see the Big Buddah and walk around. There were lots of places to eat and plenty of shops for souvenirs etc.
We then went to the city centre which was very busy that day as it was over the Chinese New Year. We had intended on taking the Peak Tram to go to Bubba Gump as it supposedly has incredible views, but unfortunately the que for the tram was so long we missed our reservation.

Day 3: Again we got up bright and early, this time to head to Disneyland. We had a lovely day and got on every ride we wanted to do multiple times. It is a very small Disney compared to all the others but it is much more calm and quiet (even during the Public holiday). There are also some really unique attractions such as the Mystic Manor, Grizzly Gulch mine train and the whole Frozen area, so it is definitely worth visiting, but I think it only really needs one day. They have the classic Disney foods such as mickey waffles and turkey legs, aswell as some local foods. It was a great day out.

[Must-Visit Attractions]
1. Nnong Ping 360 cable car.
2. Mystic Manor ( Disney)
3. Grizzly Gulch. ( Disney)

[Accommodation ]
We stayed at the Royal View Hotel.
it was handy because it was a short drive to the Metro station and they offered free transportation. The closest Metro station was close to Disneg and Nnong Ping so if those are your priorities it is a great location. The view from our room was also beautiful.

[Tips]
My number one tip is to make sure you get an Oyster Card and top it up as soon as you arrive. it is the easiest way to pay for things such as taxis and the Metro.

I don't know if it was just overly busy because of the Chinese New Year but if you have a dinner reservation at the Peak Mall, make sure you get to the tram with plenty of time to avoid missing your reservation.
