China Bar LKF

China Bar

Located in the Heart of LKF on D'Aguilar street next to Stormies

China bar was a bar that was established back in 2011 as a friendly establishment were you can enjoy a nice drink, during happy hour, after work along with great food at reasonable prices. 

As time went on and the China Bar become more and more popular they added a DJ both and started hiring DJ's to come and play. Currently China bar is set up as tables and booths in the front for people to sit and enjoy food and drinks, the bar in the middle and then a huge dance floor in the back with a DJ booth. 

Every since moving to Hong Kong I have been going to this bar at least a few times a month if not multiple times some weekends with my friends to listen to great music and have reasonable priced drinks. 

One thing I really Enjoy about this place is that you can sit in the front and talk with your friends and have a drink and then right in the back is a dance floor for the moments that you feel like getting up and dancing to the music. 

Overall I would rate this bar a 4/5****

Pros

1. Location is great

2. Nice friendly staff

3. Great music 

4. Reasonable priced 

Cons

1. Too noisy at times

2. Can get to crowded at times, which makes it hard to move around 

If you are every in Hong Kong and decide to make your way to LKF I suggest to that you stop by China Bar for at least one drink and listen to the great music of today while dancing on the big dance floor. 

Big Buddah

Big Buddha 

Located @ Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, Outlying Islands

How to get to the Big Buddha: 

MTR Tung Chung Station Exit B, then take Ngong Ping Cable Car, which takes around 25 minutes.

The big Buddha statue in Hong Kong is the world largest statue at 34 meters in height and weighs around 250 tones.

Once you arrive at the Buddha you will have to climb a stair case containing 250 stair to reach the top of the big Buddha, so wear comfortable shoes that you are able to climb a bunch of stair with.

Tai O Fishing Village

Located @ Lantau Island, Outlying Islands

How to get to the Tai O Fishing Village:

Take the MTR to Tung Chung Station and then the number 11 bus from Tung Chung Town Centre for a total journey of around 1hr 10mins

The Tai O Fishing village is a famous village known for its fisher man. Most people that live in this village are fishers and they fish for a living and then sell the fish that they catch at the market.

If you want to see the vast history and how people use to live and how some still do live then you should check out the fishing village because this will give you a great taste of Hong Kong in the past before major skyscrapers were added into the picture.

Both of these wonderful activities can be done on the same day. They have tours available with packages that include a visit to the Big Buddha and the Fishing Village. 

Once you get to Tung Chung if its a nice day out and its your first time to do this I would recommend taking the cable car, but if the weather isn't nice taking the bus would be a better option. 

The cable car is a bit on the pricey side, but for your first time it is worth the wonderful views that you can get and great pictures, but for the people that do not want to spend a lot of money I would suggest the bus since its only around $38 versus $200-$300 for the cable car. 

Kushiyaki Sesson

                Kushiyaki Sesson

Japanese Tapas restaurant located between Soho and Central. This restaurant has just opened up in place of Gourmet Burger Union. It's small in size with not many seats.

The tapas range from fish to chicken and pork and rice triangles. With each order you either get 1 skewer of your choose for around $20-$30 dollars or one small fish for around $65 dollars. 

Overall review I would give this restaurant 3/5***

PROS

1. Atmosphere 

2. Overall good Food

CONS

1. Small in size

2. Pricey 

3. Location

Overall, I would say the food is tasty, but it's not worth the price. If your looking for Japanese tapas and are willing to spend some money then this would be a place for you to check out. If not I would say that you should look for another place instead.
