Hong Kong has become a default place for most Filipinos when it comes to spending quality, fun time with their friends and family. Mr. JG & I had our honeymoon in Hong Kong, all because we wanted to unleash the kid in us and enjoy their tourist attractions – Disneyland and Ocean Park.
I can’t believe we rode all the attractions at Ocean Park & Hong Kong Disneyland, The Abyss included!
The last time I was in Hong Kong was the first time we brought the lil’ JGs there. It was November of 2013 and I wrote about our first trip to the island as a family HERE.
Now there’s more reason to travel to Asia’s World City as new features, new exhibits, and prizes worth up to PHP 2.3 B await visitors thanks to Hong Kong Summer Fun which runs until August 31, 2015.
