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

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………….

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 !!
“Like
the love you share, at Auberge Discovery
Bay Hong Kong, the possibilities for creating treasured moments are
infinite…….”
