esim is really easy to use. It’s convenient as you don’t need to change the sim card. You can connect to the Internet as soon as you arrive in Hong Kong and it’s very smooth to use.

The weather is good, the Big Buddha looks like it has the light of Buddha, and the scenic spots are well arranged. I was also lucky to see dolphins today. The tour guide Grace’s explanation is very lively and interesting. You can choose to gather at Hong Kong Station or Tung Chung Station.

Nice little adventure visiting the Lantau island and Tai-O fishing village. The weather was hot but the nostalgic visit to the village with the boat ride was good. The Guide who spoke in English was excellent. She help us out when our tickets for the cable car ride had some issue. Stayed with us until it was resolved and ensured that we enter the cable car ride safely.
