Hong Kong 2012- Second Round

Went to Hong Kong recently and visited places that I've never been before. The popular temple of Wong Tai Sin.
 This temple is located at the far side of the Green line. From the Hong Kong Station (Yellow line), we rode the train towards the Green line, transferred lanes then departed via Wong Tai Sin Station. This temple does not require you to pay anything. Just look around the vicinity.
 Lot's of monuments inside. There's this dragon..
 The Buddha that looks like a conqueror
 Some small replicas that lines the walkway.
 The place is crowded with tourists. Travelers are there to pray for good tidings. The temple also reminds me of the Old School Chinese movies.

 Visitors of the temple lights these sticks together with their prayers. 10 HKDs for a bundle of burning sticks :)
 And here is a fountain where you can wish before you exit the Temple. On our way back we went to Victoria Peak. For some reason, we went thru the wrong route (again). We walk towards the pier looking for the 15c Bus. We hopped on bus 15, therefore missing the Peak Tram Terminus.
 We saw this Iconic HSBC building on our way.
 And now, I was able to redeem myself. Finally able to capture a better picture of the view from top of "The Peak". After the day, we want back to Disneyland.
 We missed the parades.. But we were able to enjoy the newest attractions.

 The Grizzly Gulch. It is done in reminiscence to the old school mining areas of the west. It's all wood and rocks. We were able to enjoy the latest roller coaster ride down in the caves.

 Then after a year, finally been to the Toy Story Area. We're living the movies.

 Lot's of Woody and Buzz. We were able to enjoy Andy's toys.
The soldier's plane..
  
And the kid's were able to enjoy the parachute drop.  The queue's were long as usual. But it's all worth it.
After the long Disneyland trip, we called the night done. This is a photo of the Observatory at the Tomorrowland. Disneyland is always a fun place to be. PS: They're expanding, there's this Mystic Route that is about to open anytime soon.
