Our trip to China was out of the blue when I told my husband, "Let's go oversea for our baby's 1st birthday". Little did we know that AirAsia was having promo when we scouted a round-trip to Hong Kong for roughly around RM400 per pax. As usual for travel addict like us, without thinking any longer, immediately we clicked book and there it goes our trip to China.
Wondering why we chosen to travel around China instead of focusing on Hong Kong when we had a confirmed tickets to Hong Kong? All is about budget as we found Hong Kong is kinda pricey for us to travel around. And since because I have never been to Guilin, so we decided to grab this chance to travel there.
DAY 1: 15 OCTOBER 2024
Oh well! Things don't always go as planned. Our trip kicked-off with unexpected flight delay by none other than AirAsia. Not 1 or 2 hours, but turned out our flight was delayed for freaking long 3 hours and this cause us unable to catch the trains to XingPing.
#1: Because of the flight delay, we landed in Hong Kong International Airport 3 hours later than the original flight time.
#2: Compulsory to fill in arrival card when visiting Hong Kong
Due to the delay, we made a quick decision to overnight in Shenzhen before continue with our original plan on the following day. And this means that we have no choice but to burn our first night stay we booked in XingPing, an ancient town situated in the northeast of Yangshou County.
From Hong Kong International Airport, we took Airport Bus (A43 towards Luen Wo Hui Bus Terminal) and align at Sheung Sui stop. From there, we catch MRT from Sheung Sui Station to Lo Wu, which is the Hong Kong border before entering Shenzhen.
#4: So, this is the hotel we booked last minute. Nay, just kidding!
#5: Vienna Hotel (Shenzhen Luohu Port Railway Station) - This is the hotel we booked last minute
My husband booked this hotel from Ctrip but you can search from Trip.com
Basically on the first night, right after we checked-in into the hotel and dropped our luggage, we're casually wandering around the street nearby our hotel. Simply settled our dinner at a restaurant served Hong Kong cuisine before we call it a day.
Do you think we'll be able to make it to XingPing? Stay tune on the upcoming post...
