The wonderful journey by public transport might be the last summer vacation. When I celebrated the anniversary with my boyfriend. We went to Hong Kong, visiting the Hong Kong Disney land and eating the delicious cantonese food. At last my boyfriend came up with the idea that we can took the double decker buds which is specialize in Hong Kong. It first floor same as the regular bus. But the second floor is kind of open air sightseeing stage. So we have a great view there. It’to cut from the Victoria harbors to many famous streets that films were shots and to the Pacific peak. We not only experience the luxuries and properose building skyscrapers, but also we experienced the, uh. Tranquility and simple village life. I had a great time there, taking lot of photos and chatting with the locals with culture and history of Hong Kong. Although at first I reluctant to pay for its at its cost a little bit expensive. But at last I find it’s totally worth it. And I will recommend to all my friends who are going to Hong Kong who travel to Hong Kong. And I bet they will not regrets to taking the double decker. But as I also have a break time there.

One of my most enjoyable journeys by public transport was during my last summer vacation. I was celebrating my anniversary with my boyfriend, and we decided to go to Hong Kong. We spent our time visiting Hong Kong Disneyland and indulging in delicious Cantonese food. My boyfriend then suggested we take a double-decker bus, a unique experience in Hong Kong. The first floor was like a regular bus, but the second floor was an open-air sightseeing platform. We had amazing views as we traveled from Victoria Harbour to many famous streets featured in films, and even to the peak of Victoria Peak. We experienced the luxurious and imposing skyscrapers, but also the tranquility and simplicity of village life. I had a wonderful time, taking lots of photos and chatting with locals about Hong Kong's culture and history. Initially, I was hesitant about the cost, as it was a bit expensive. However, I ultimately found it to be totally worth it. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends traveling to Hong Kong. I'm sure they wouldn't regret taking the double-decker bus. We also had a chance to take a break during our journey, which was a nice change of pace.
