## Itinerary | ||
|
||
### Day 1 | ||
|
||
- Date: Monday, April 3rd | ||
- Location: Hong Kong | ||
- Highlights: Arrive in Hong Kong, check-in to Check Inn | ||
- Weather: [AccuWeather](https://accuweather.com/en/hk/hong-kong-island/3558176/daily-weather-forecast/3558176?day=2); cloudy | ||
|
||
Arrive in HK, check-in to hostel. Grab lunch, check out the [Noonday Gun](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/noonday-gun) (hopefully for 12pm!) Causeway Bay area, Monster building. (Explore stuff "to the right.") | ||
|
||
Head back to work on CS3236 paper; grab a quick dinner when needed. Can walk over and view Symphony of Lights show at 8pm onward. | ||
|
||
Actual: check-in, Monster Building, Quarry Bay Promenade, Lockhart Market (lunch), couple of British pubs (and pub trivia) in the evening (...followed up by a CSA call). | ||
|
||
### Day 2 | ||
|
||
- Date: Tuesday, April 4th | ||
- Location: Hong Kong | ||
- Highlights: Arrive in Hong Kong, check-in to Check Inn | ||
- Weather: [AccuWeather](https://accuweather.com/en/hk/hong-kong-island/3558176/daily-weather-forecast/3558176?day=3); rainy | ||
|
||
Start the day with more dim sum. More work (and hopefully wrap-up) on CS3236 paper. | ||
|
||
Can maybe check out Waterfall Bay Park. Maybe toss in a night market. (Explore stuff "to the left.") Can start in the early evening, catch sunset, then back to work for a bit. | ||
|
||
Consider squeezing in the peak on this day, too. | ||
|
||
Actual: go for nice breakfast at a cafe, work. Can check out HSBC Building (1 Queen's Road), Central-Mid-Levels escalators, ferry area / Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park. | ||
|
||
For dinner, try to do Stanley Market. Can go for sunset. Can go a bit early and catch Rhino Rock as well. | ||
|
||
### Day 3 | ||
|
||
- Date: Wednesday, April 5th | ||
- Location: Hong Kong | ||
- Highlights: Spend the day with Jacky; horse racing | ||
- Weather: [AccuWeather](https://accuweather.com/en/hk/hong-kong-island/3558176/daily-weather-forecast/3558176?day=4); mostly hot | ||
|
||
**On Thursday** do this instead. Do The Peak early in the morning. | ||
|
||
Jacky will take care of most of this one; will spend the day chilling, and end it off with horse racing. Should be fun! | ||
|
||
Walking tour of Kowloon? Loop Kowloon (Walled City) Park, History Museum, Avenue of Stars, catch Symphony of Lights show. | ||
|
||
Other ideas: Un Chau Estate, The Whampoa, Chungking | ||
|
||
### Day 4 | ||
|
||
- Date: Thursday, April 6th | ||
- Location: Hong Kong | ||
- Highlights: Lantau Island | ||
- Weather: [AccuWeather](https://accuweather.com/en/hk/hong-kong-island/3558176/daily-weather-forecast/3558176?day=5); mostly sunny | ||
|
||
Wake up early and head to Lantau Island. Go via cable car (preferable; faster... this is Ngong Ping 360) or ferry (slower; more scenic). See the Tian Tan Buddha, stroll down the Wisdom Path (very cool) to the Po Lin Monastery. Then check out Tai O (a traditional fishing village). | ||
|
||
~~Head back to HK, and take the tram up to The Peak. (Or, do Sunset Peak.) Time it for sunset.~~ Go to Stanley market instead, since the weather is poor (no point in peak). If weather is nice, maybe do The Peak. | ||
|
||
Can do some work and chill after! | ||
|
||
TODO: this day Wednesday instead. Horse racing / Kowloon moved to Thursday. | ||
|
||
### Day 5 | ||
|
||
- Date: Friday, April 7th | ||
- Location: Hong Kong | ||
- Highlights: A bit more exploring HK; spend the night out | ||
- Weather: [AccuWeather](https://accuweather.com/en/hk/hong-kong-island/3558176/daily-weather-forecast/3558176?day=6); cloudy, a bit rainy | ||
|
||
Might be a good day to do Dragon's Back. Ask hostel if I can leave bag for the day. | ||
|
||
Last day in HK. Do laundry early, pack-up, and do some work. Need to be at airport at ~10pm, so can't go out for too long. | ||
|
||
Arrive in Vietnam ~1am. |
