Our flight was delayed from 8:30am to 10:30am and hence we will only reached Hong Kong 12:45pm. This is a waste of our time at Hong Kong as we haven't find out accommodation.
In the departure hall, there are drinking water filler and many charging stations. We continued to do the Hong Kong homework.
We reached the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) at 12:45pm. To go to the immigration and baggage claim area, we had to took the shuttle transit. After baggage claim, it was 2pm. After claim the SIM card (HKD60) and Airport Express to Kowloon Station roundtrip (HKD246) that we booked online. We had the lunch at the 7-11 convenience store because other meal is so expensive to us.
1500 - After reached the Kowloon station by express train, we planned to walked to the Tsim Sha Shui. After asked other people, we just knew that there is free shuttle bus to the Tsim Sha Shui area. We had to go to exit B and took K3 bus. This free bus can be get on with flight ticket.

1550 - We get off at the Holiday Inn and walked to the Chungking Mansion. We planned to go to 8th floor and ask every guesthouse. At 8th floor, the only guesthouse offer double room for HKD300 per night and need to wait 2-3 hours for the person to check out. Then we went to 7th floor and asked. The guesthouse is Welcome guesthouse and have double bed room which is only HKD200 per night. But it is only available in 15th floor. After see the room, we decided to stay here as the room is quite ok but not that clean since it was cheap.
1640 - Walked to 1881 Heritage and the port to view the Hong Kong Island.
1800 - Walked back to Chungking mansions to Lan Fang Yuen. After finding in the Chungking Mansions for 10 minutes, we couldn't find any. With the help of the website, we only knew that the restaurant is located at the lower ground floor which need to take another entrance.
At the Lan Fang Yuen, we were arranged to sit with a Thailand lady. She seem like cannot speak Chinese well and hardly to communicate with the waiters. Hence, we help her to call the food. While eating, we have some chat. Just know that she is a Chinese but only know a bit Hokkien. After that, we were exchanged our Facebook and become friend to walk together.
1930 - We walked towards the place to watch the Symphony of Light. However, the path to Avenue of Stars is closed due the avenue is under renovation. Hence,we walked back to the port and view it. There were so many people. After the show ended, I think it was a very normal one that is not that unique.
After we just bought some food and drink at the Market Place supermarket in the opposite building of the ChungKing Mansion, we went back to the guesthouse and rest. She is so nice with us that treat us many food and we don't know how to thank her, Maybe this is the way how to make friend and we tried to help her back in this journey too.
