From the roller coasters to the iconic Cable Cars; and, from the Grand Aquarium to Giant Panda Village, provided a welcoming adventure to the group. They also scoured the city by visiting the Jewelry Factory, Victoria Peak, Aberdeen Fishing Port and the Avenue of the Stars.
Wandering in Hongkong also included gastronomic adventure, haggling test in Mongkok Market and venturing through its numbered streets and buses.
Sailing to Macau, the participants experienced cruising through the TurboJet Ferry. They proceeded to the Fisherman’s Warf and wandered through the replica of the Roman Coliseum and Forum. The tour also passed through the Guan Yin Statue (Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Macau) where the group had a glimpsed of the ecumenical center of the City. At the Senado Square, the delegates were given time for some refreshments and sightseeing.
Leading to the Ruins of St. Paul Cathedral, the delegates braved through the drizzling skies as they promenaded the remaining structure of the house of faith. Travelling back to Hongkong, they had a quick stop over at the lawn of the Parisian Macao.
Although the tour seems so swift, it provided an educational enterprise, a cultural immersion and a good respite.
