Day 6: Classroom Experience & Visit to Cheung Chau Island and the Victoria Peak

Today’s physical education lesson was a memorable one as we learnt ‘yoga’ for warm-ups. The first half of the lesson was theoretical stuff on how to keep fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle. During the second half of the lesson, the boys and girls were segregated and did different activities like playing badminton or basketball.

In the afternoon, we took a ferry to Cheung Chau Island which is a good 45 minutes away from the jetty. We visited the Pak Tai Temple which was built in 1783 to honour a popular Taoist God of the Sea. We were then given time to walk around the island which is filled with shops selling dried foodstuff, seafood, vegetables, clothes, bags, shoes and accessories.
We tried some of the cooked food such as fish balls, red bean cakes, peanut and fish-shaped waffle. We enjoyed the food a lot.

The Victoria Peak

After dinner, we were driven up to the Victoria Peak to have a fascinating night view of the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. The view was breathtaking and it was cool up there. The tour guide told us that the houses build on the hill of the Victoria Peak are very expensive as it has a very nice view. We also took pictures at the entrance of the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.
