cb1118 will become famous soon enoughcb1118 will become famous soon enough
(12)when you reach Central at end of Bowen Road.
you will be seeing some very historical resident building..
you will notice the lower floor of the buildings is actually lower than the road (so if the residents open the windows, they actually will see people's feet!!)
and they park their car on top of their flat (the roof of their flat)
very funny...I bet you don't see this kind of construction very often in HK...

then, you see the CABLE CAR crossing under the bridge..


(13)after you reach "GARDEN ROAD"
you may walk down to the Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens
(or the HK people call it the "soliders' hats garden)

during the UK colony, across from the park is the "GOVERNOR's HOUSE"
there are always 2 British soliders with traditional tall hats standing guard in the front gate...so the locals give the park a name "soliders' hats park"


the park is famous with the gorillas from Philippines (very old now)
and 2 Jaguars..(too bad the black one is not there anymore)


(14)to end the journey, you may walk down to Lan Kwai Fong
and go to Central to have a wanton noodle..(see photo) **wellington street


there are other good restaurant

a. a Vietnamese fusion food house (see photo) *Wellington street
foods are quite good, but service is not..worth a try for a new style of vietnamnese cookings..


b. a traditional tea house if you take a longer walk down the Wellington Street called "Ling-Hang"
they serve tea a traditional way (not by tea pot)
