Dear Patrick,
I am so glad to receive your letter! When I read your letter, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to plan the travel plan for you. I think it is a good time for you to enjoy Hong Kong. Therefore, I’m going to introduce the itinerary to you now.
On Friday, you said your family and you would like to go to Ocean Park because of word of mouth. Actually, it is really marvelous! Here are some suggestions about what you can do in Ocean Park.
First, you can take the rides. There are a variety of rides, such as the roller coaster, the merry-go-round, the Ferris Wheel, the Pirate Ship and the Torrent. Some are exciting while some are relaxing. My favourite ride is the Torrent. It is not too frightening but a bit exciting. You will also get wet during the process which can cool you down and you won’t feel hot anymore after the ride.
Apart from the exciting rides, I think the cable car is also a good choice for you to give a try. You can enjoy the breathtaking view and the gentle wind during the process. It is really relaxing. After taking it, I think you won’t have stress anymore.
You can also go to different galleries too. You can see the pandas, penguins, polar bears and so on. You should also go to the aquarium. I am sure that you will be amazed by the colourful and amazing undersea world.
On Saturday, you may go to Lion Rock Mountain for hiking. After you have reached the top of the mountain, you may sit down and have a picnic, or you can have a barbecue instead. You can enjoy the food while savouring the spectacular views. It is really different from the photos on the internet!
At night, you may go to Temple Street. It is a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. You can go shopping there. There are many kinds of products, such as clothes, accessories and electrical devices.
You can also enjoy the local food. Maybe I can recommend some food that is most attractive to you. First, you can try the egg waffle. It is crispy and not too sweet! Second, you should grab the chance to try the grid cake. It has different sauces in it, for example, peanut butter and sugar. Although it may be too sweet for you, it is really tasty and worth trying! Third, you may also eat the curry fish balls! They are spicy and yummy! At last, you can try the stinky tofu. To somebody, it maybe smelly, but to me, it is aromatic! You shouldn’t refuse to try it. Otherwise, you will regret since it is so delicious!
From my suggestions, it is not impossible for your family and you to go hiking, shopping, eating local food and visiting tourist attractions on the same day. I am sure that you won’t get a lukewarm response from your family. They will like the itinerary I suggest.
Please write back soon. I want to know how this schedule sounds to you. And I hope you will enjoy this journey. Also, feel free to invite me to join your activities! I am very willing to be your tour guide.
Best wishes,
Beata
