Scenic Hong Kong

Dear Jackie,

Hello from Hong Kong! My class trip is almost over, and this city is the last stop on our tour.

We arrived here on Friday night, and I’m having a lot of fun.

On Saturday, we visited the top of Victoria peak. The view of the city was incredible!

I could see all of Hong Kong. There were also some nature trails on the peak. We went for a short walk, and then had lunch in the afternoon.

In the evening, I went with two friends to the Temple Street Night Market.

The streets were full of people selling food, clothes, jewelry, music, movies, electronics, and lots of other things.

I bought some souvenirs to bring home. There were fortune tellers at the market, too.

One told me, “You’re going to fall in love soon.” I hope she was right!

Yesterday, our group went to Disneyland. Yes, there’s one here! We were there all day. The park was crowded, and the lines for rides were long. I waited an hour to go on Space Mountain (the roller coaster).

That was my favorite part of the trip!

Today is Monday. We’re going to Ocean Park to see the pandas this afternoon.

We return home to Vancouver tomorrow.

See you soon!

Natalie
