Discover the Bay

For the labour day weekend, i went over to Discovery Bay, Yu Xuan’s cousin’s house.
Discovery Bay is a resort style residential area on Lantau Island. This ecological town has a very spectacular sea view, just like HKUST do*smile* and a little secret, you can watch Disneyland fireworks from Discovery Bay(although they say you will get bored of it when you watch it everyday).
The area is kinda separate from the hustle bustle of the city. To get out to the city, there are only three buses connecting D-Bay to Sunny Bay, Tung Chung and HKIA and ferry service to Central. About 60% of the population there are foreigners from about 65 countries, it’s like a mini united nation.
