Day 1 HK

5 days alone time is super bliss =) =) =) i realize that i need to do this every year... & i don't need to spend a lot too =) first stop in day 1 is to check out City Gate outlets which is near HKIA.

from HKIA ride the Bus to Citygate Outlets, it can be reached in just around 10 minutes by buses S1, S52P and S64

1st thing to do, when you reach citgate is to look for the baggage lockers in Basement 1 & 2, but there are very limited slots & you need a HKD 10 coins for it.

then i had a hefty lunch of chicken rice at 1 of the stalls in food republic.
