This trip had been planned since the spring 2014, first we expected to set off in November and changed to the second part of February, thus anticipating to celebrate the chinese new year, which, actually, turned out a little bit boring except for the firwork
.
So my trip began in 14 Feb with the flight to Moscow and 4 hours of doing nothing between the flights at Sheremetievo airport. Then followed 9 hours flight on board of A330, that took us to Hong Kong. I didn't sleep for the whole flight but watched the movies - the best way to acclimatize oneself, for I felt asleep the moment I touched the bed in the hotel in the evening.
Our group, waiting for the bus, that takes us directly to the hotel
Sitting on the upper deck of the bus - the weather wasn't favourable for us throughout the trip
Having checked in and taken a shower we set off for 10000 Buddas monastery, which was located nearby
all three from Saint-Petersburg
On the way back we encountered some monkeys
our group takes photos of monkeys
and a sad dog
Martial art schools show in one of Hong Kong's parks, it is conducted every sunday, but we arrived late sadly
If you are fond of monkeys - The monkey mountain is your choice, there are hundreds of them there, most spying for an easy pray (keep your belongings close to you)
but some sleeping
Wing Chun was the main purpose of our trip, so here's me doing it

From Victoria pik (I wish I had a camera with better optica)
New Year's firework - the was splendid, but to get a better view one has to care about a place some hours before the show begins
Avenue of stars and Bruce Lee
The last day was dedicated to the waterfalls located in the north, it was supposed to be the fast trip, but it took us half of the daytime - the path to the waterfalls lies in a mountain forest and it is narrow and littered with stones - it is very easy to brake a leg. When we just stepped on it we met a group of policemen and a team of rescuers carrying a stratcher with a unconscious girl, so it proved the way was dangerous. But we coped well: the ascent took us two hours, whereas descent only 25 min
(we left 4-th waterfall for the next time)
The main waterfall (3rd out of 4; it was where we turned back)
