Hi steemit friends,

I'm gonna introduce cycling route in HK which you shouldn't miss when you vist HK.

There aren't many route of cycling in HK though, due to packed arrangement of buildings and roads.

If you get out of city center such as HK island and Kowloon area,however, you can easily find some routes with gorgeous sceneries of sea and mounatains.

The cycling route of today where I tried on this weekend is the one at the Taipo water front park.

Before riding, I had Hong Kong style Ice Milk Tea at restaurant in taipo market.

There are a lot of nice local Hong Kong style restaurant in this area which serve decent Hong Kong style food with reasonable price. I would say the food in central area is not actually authentic Hong Kong style local food, but they are kind of fusion style food or chain restaurant mainly for tourists. So if you have spare time to explore the rural area of Hong Kong, recommend you to visit here. It took around 30~40min from Tsim sha Tsui station by MTR or bus

My favorite part about living in Hong Kong is that City and the Nature like mountains and beaches are very close to visit.
You can suddenly meet the real forest just next to your apartment and office.

To rent bikes, we went to the bike rental shops nearby Lookout tower in the park.

There are 3 rental shops just next to the tower, 25HKD per hour, 70HKD per day.

The bikes which they have were all in good quality, well maintained.

If you are not familiar with cycling enough, you will find that cycling roads are a bit narrow. So be aware of having sufficient practice before trial.

Cycling made us die of hunger, hence we ran back to Tsim sha Tsui to have our favorite Korean dishes. Spicy chicken feet! hell ya!

영어 능력자시군요 부럽습니다. 홍콩도 부럽고..ㅎㅎ

다큐레이터 보고 들어왔습니다. 다큐레이터보기전에 제가 먼저 봤으면 좋으련만 다큐레이터를 보고들어와 죄송합니다 :)

들러주셔서 감사합니다. 포스팅 및 활동이 더뎌서 점점 방문자가 줄어드네요. ㅋㅋ 영어는 부끄럽습니다. @dyuryul 님도 잘하시던데요.

저는 번역기 깜냥입니다..ㅎㅎ 꾸준한 포스팅이중요한것같습니다. 누군가는 항상 보구있더라구요 재밌는 세상입니다.
