Transcript for Listening Exercise 1 - Hong Kong Tourism
Good morning. Today I
will tell you about our tour of Hong Kong. It starts at 8 am when the tour bus
will take you to Aberdeen to eat dim sum at Jumbo Floating Restaurant. Dim sum
is a traditional style of Cantonese food with small, often steamed dishes. You
will have a chance to try egg custard buns, barbecued pork buns and different
types of dumplings all served with a pot of Chinese tea.
After that we will go
to the Peak. From the Peak you can enjoy panoramic views of Victoria Harbour,
Kowloon Peninsula and also be amazed by the huge number of skyscrapers in Hong
Kong. This is a good place to take some stunning photos.
We will then travel to
Hong Kong’s largest island – Lantau Island – and board the Ngong Ping 360 cable
car that will take us to the majestic Po Lin Monastery and a chance to see one
of the biggest bronze buddha’s in the world. At 112 foot high it is an awe
inspiring sight. You can take your time to climb the steps to the buddha or you
might like to explore the historical Po Lin Monastery.
Next we will go to a
traditional Chinese café in Kowloon and try some pineapple buns and stocking
tea before ending our tour with some free time for you to look for bargains in
the Ladies Market.
