<Fascinated by Hong Kong>

 Have you ever been to Hong Kong? I have been there twice in 2016. When I first got there in February, I was really fascinated with the city so I went there again in November. Hong Kong is well known as the shopping city since the city do not charge tax to imported goods and many brand-new models of each brand are introduced fast in there. However, I was not interested in the shopping during the short travel. But there were many things to enjoy in there instead of shopping. There are three big reasons I decided to go Hong Kong again.

 The first thing is the combination with the nature and buildings. During my first visit in Hong Kong, I was going to see night view from the Victoria peak, which was the nice place to view all the tall buildings along the islands. However, my friend and I changed the plan to go another place because of the bad weather condition. It was Nan Lian garden we chose instead. There was well designed garden and also very next to the garden, there was Chi Lin nunnery. These green places were near the apartment buildings and I think it was very exotic.

 The second thing is the foods in Hong Kong. There are many special foods such as Hong Kong style milk tea, dumplings, noodles and craps. Especially I was impressed when I ate dumplings. Even though there were very simple ingredients in dumplings like shrimp or pork, their flavor were really good. I had eaten Korean dumplings which includes various kinds of ingredients so it was very fresh for me to have Hong Kong dumplings. There are many kinds of dumplings and among them the dumpling called Prawn-Hargow was the best for me.

The last thing is the public transportation. There are many kinds of transportation in Hong Kong such as bus, taxi, metro and ferry. Like in Korea, I could go anywhere in Hong Kong by using public transportation and also the cost was so reasonable. Furthermore, they came frequently so I could save time to be on the street to wait for them.

 I really enjoy going trip. There are many fantastic places in the world, but those three reasons took me to Hong Kong again. I recommend you to visit there someday! Hong Kong is really compact city so if you have not enough time to travel, then it would be good to consider this place.
