“Travelling Around Hong Kong”
Last month, my cousin Lily came to Hong Kong for vacation. We had an amazing time visiting many places. Lily enjoys nature, so we hiked Dragon’s Back and enjoyed the stunning views.
We also explored the bustling streets of Mong Kok, where she tried delicious street food like pineapple buns and egg tarts. Lily loved the vibrant atmosphere and the tasty treats. She was so happy with the trip that she can’t wait to visit again next year. Hong Kong is truly a city full of adventure, culture, and unforgettable memories!
