TRAVEL DAY 4 - AUBERGE DISCOVERY BAY | 5D 4 N @ HONG KONG & MACAU


 


Soon after some quick pasta and toastie breakfast at AustralianDairy Company, we headed to Lantau Island to catch a glimpse what’s there to offer since the day was very promising, denoting a perfect day outdoor activities.



 


So without much ado, we headed to the right MTR lines before reaching Central Pier No. 3 and boarding a high-speed ferry to reach the private property across the ocean, called Discovery Bay Pier after some 25 minutes.




And the unexpected initial encounter with the Pokemon Game! Coincidentally, it was one day before the raving Pokemon Hunt game opened in Malaysia!

Let’s discover now, shall we? (=
But before we ended up at the exclusive, bewitching white architecture, we actually had some difficulties locating the place accurately upon embarking at the Discovery Bay Pier.


 





The fact that this destination was actually made impromptu after some brisk walking from the beach towards the nearby residential area, soon boredom came stinging us and that’s when Romeo took out his phone and browse nearby sight-seeing place, if any. A brief swipe had our eyes laid on a beautiful landscape of somewhat resembling white house by the beach? Which we later found out is a charming chapel that is some distance way, not advisable to walk up, unless you’re ready to train your stamina, haha.




Does reminds me of those properties's landscape back in Mont Kiara



As Lady’s luck has it, we hopped onto a bus bearing the Auberge Discovery Bay signboard at the nearest bus stop we could see before getting a clearer direction by an expatriate who was staying there. Thank God, finally found someone who speaks the same language, haha.





Upon showing the chapel picture from the smartphone to him, he quirkily acknowledged the right route we were taking and chuckly said, usually people went there for wedding and not so much of a touristy place. And that’s when I started to get bit blushing before asking if the place was really worth a visit as well as for photography purpose, which he nodded in agreement. So, nevertheless, let’s go! We’re already in the bus anyway, haha…………………






After some 15-minutes journey, we alighted at a piazza with a prominent clock tower standing mightily in the centre, as a sign of welcoming everyone. It was a bright, sunny day and so, I made a quick snaps before walking hastily to find some shades from the scorching sun =)









It’s the Discovery Bay North Plaza, situated just adjacent to Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong and also a retail mall that houses specialty shops, an open piazza and quaint cafes. I wanted to tried he coffee there actually, but due to time constraint, gave it a go for next time and settled down with some ice creams instead later:D



Discovery Bay Love Lock Promenade


Oh, lovely Golden Retriever that i have always hope to have one......

Walks after walks, we arrived at the resort hotel of Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong, one of the fantastic hotel located at Lantau Island. It is said that the property here is also rated for the best value in Hong Kong where guests get more for their money when compared to other properties in this city. Time for some estate investment perhaps?









After some strolling around the peaceful and windy neighbourhood, we reached the dreamy place eventually! It was literally…………………..breathtaking and stunningly riveting sight to behold!







No wonder it’s touted as Hong Kong’s ultimate romance destination which is also home to the metropolis’s only seaside chapel!


 



And with each passing seconds, timeless memories are created.





Before we realize it, the time flies swiftly and it’s time to be back to the mainland again for the next stop at Madame Tussauds! Kinda rushing but have to endure it for I’ll be flying back to home soon the very next day, sob sob………….


Some coffee while waiting for the return ferry

In a nutshell, Discovery Bay seems to be a great choice for travelers interested in Disneyland, culturally diverse food and sightseeing with enchanting calming horizon. Also serves as the heavenly spot for inspiringly intimate escapade for any lovebirds. With that, I’m already looking forward to another return if God’s willing……………… at Carpe Diem  !!
