Travel Diary: China & Hong Kong

This post is long overdue since we took our trip in January, but better late than never right? Instead of writing about my trip, just thought I'd post our photo diary. Enjoy!

In Dongguan, China

Street market food! This was so delish.

We ate at a pizza hut there! The pizzas had very interesting toppings... popcorn chicken pizza anyone?

We stumbled upon this park right smack in the middle of a very busy city. They did a great job of blocking out the noise from the city, it was quiet and serene.

Just a tid bit of the goodies we ate while in China.

Our hotel lobby, loved the chandelier

The hotel had a Koi fish pond that you could look out to while eating breakfast.

We went to a local street market there and it was quite the experience. Dongguan is not a tourist city so we got the full blown Chinese experience. It was crazy! I didn't take too many pictures but loved this one I got. You should've seen how many more bikes were lined up on the walls.

We also spent a day in Macau and visited the Venetian there which is the largest casino in the world. It was crazy just how big it was. You could get lost in there and not come out for days.

Macau is like Las Vegas, a huge section is just full of hotels and casinos, so we got out of the casino area and took a taxi to the local area and walked around some of the outside markets. I've tried all these fruits before but J hasn't so he got his first taste of some exotic fruits!

This was our last day in China...

And off to Hong Kong we went!

Hubs went crazy in Mong Kok with all the sneaker stores there. It was insane how many there were. He walked away with quite a few pairs!

This was taken on the Avenue of the Stars. They have such a pretty night skyline in Hong Kong.

The view of Causeway Bay from our hotel room. If you haven't seen our hotel room pictures yet, click here.

And finally us taking some silly pictures in the room!

LOL! We are crazy!

We did so much stuff and we both have so many more pictures but those were some of the highlights! We enjoyed our time in Dongguan as it was just a totally different environment for us. I can speak Mandarin but not fluently so it was a bit difficult getting around. We managed though. Hong Kong was definitely more our city, we loved the hustle and bustle of the city, all the amazing restaurants to eat at, the bakeries (I love Chinese pastries), the SHOPPING was incredible and just everything was fun, since we are such night owls, we loved that we could be out and about at midnight and the city was still completely alive. We never had a boring day there and can't wait to go back already!

All photos by me and J. Some of them were edited by hubs that's why there's the style.ish logo on it. :)
