Without having to leave the vicinity of my home town, I had a chance to wonder in the wonders of Hong Kong and Japan. And yes, we did it on a budget.
Within walking distance of our home, we reached a lovely park known to many as Chinese and Japanese Garden. Having stayed in the west all my life, it was a first last weekend in my entire adult life to be able to spend time there. What a thrill indeed.
Located right next to the MRT station known as Chinese Garden, visitors would get to visit the place without having to pay any entrance fee. The area is divided into two main themes. One displays an array of Chinese architecture and the other showcases Japanese related features as well and not forgetting the theme coordinated plants.
We were there to catch the sunset and to our surprise, it was not that crowded at all. We saw families with small children having a stroll around the vicinity of the garden. Bring your kids over to the many mini lakes located around the park where they get to see tortoises and various times of fish.
One of the best features of the park would be to climb up a Pagoda Building in which as you reach the top of the building, you'll get to immersed yourself in the sight of the sunset as well as the beauty of the area.
Do pay a visit there when you get a chance. It is a family friendly place.
