Hong Kong Day 4 #Ced26atHK

August 13 - Yesterday, I've just turned 26 and spent the whole day at the most magical place on earth, Disneyland. Now, it's our last day at Hong Kong and for our itinerary, we will just walk around the city and visit some famous buildings of its iconic skyline. We also bought pasalubong and souvenirs before going back home. Here's our adventures in our final day in Hong Kong.


Bought souvenirs at the Elegant Tang Dynasty shop located at Peak Tower

Famous buildings in Hong Kong. The Bank of China Tower (abbreviated BOC Tower) is one of the most recognisable skyscrapers in Central, Hong Kong, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I. M. Pei.


Crossing the IFC mall from the North building to the South building


IFC Building and Jardine House. The circular design of the windows has earned the building the nickname, "The House of a Thousand Arseholes."

And we're back at the Hong Kong International (Chek Lap Kok) Airport


Vintage plane model displayed at the departure area of the Hong Kong airport. Cool!




Just arrived at the boarding gates. This airport is huge!


Boarding gates with a beautifully designed interior. I love the tesselated ceilings, so futuristic!


Zài Jiàn, Hong Kong! What a wonderful adventure it has been! Big thanks to my travel buddy Jotie for making this trip possible and for making my birthday dream a reality!

After getting back home something unexpected happened. Jotie and some of my closest friends threw me surprise party and it was super fun! I'm overwhelmed with all their love.
