It rained again so we went to Hong Kong Museum of History. Wednesday happens to be their free day. It is easy to find and absolutely fantastic and superb quality place to enjoy few hours. It does not have specific child orientated displays, but on the other hand you are in among the life in China from pre-historic stages till today.
There are ships and shops and houses to visit, Glo' "drove" a tram (a few large male wannabe drivers in the queue with her), we had a good look at Cantonese Opera and few other festivals, sedan chairs, weddings, baby carriers, costumes and rocks for daddy.
Another good place in the museum is their restaurant. We ate a super lunch of different noodle soups for around £10 for three. They have a colouring-in spot for the children nicely placed close to the shop (which I liked too).
Another child recommended place, the Science Museum is just across the yard, but I must say one museum a day is all we could take!
Still far too foggy to go to the Peak. So we had a nap instead and then a bus to the Airport Express. We had to buy tickets first but then we could offload all our hold luggage to BA desk at the rail station. I think next time we check the luggage in first thing in the morning and then have a day in Hong Kong.
Compared to China proper HK is dirty, people are not friendly unless they can get money from you, tea is disgusting (says daddy). There may be specific things I want to see in HK in the future, but as a holiday destination China wins every time.
One thing I like in HK is the airport bookshops. They may be hard to find but the selection of children's books is good and different from the city shops.
