Indulging in gourmet while exploring the South East 
1. Hong Kong Episode Part 12 Final Chapter 
     Harbourview Hotel Buffet, Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum

             Sunday, 2023/4/2



Time flied, half a month was gone. My last day of journey in Hong Kong ended by enjoying buffet at Harbourview Hotel and visiting Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum. I invited my 5th elder sister Jenny to have buffet at Harbourview Hotel; accompany me to walk up the Central–Mid-Levels escalator and pay a visit to Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum.

When I lived in Shanghai 15 years ago, I participated in food exhibitions at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. I liked to stay at Harbourview Hotel.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum    2023/4/2
7 Castle Road, Central, Hong Kong



The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum is a museum in Central, Hong Kong. It is located in Kom Tong Hall (Cantonese Yale: Gāmtòhngdaih), at 7 Castle Road, Central. After the preparation work undertaken by the Hong Kong Museum of History, the museum was opened on 12 December 2006, so as to commemorate the 140th birthday of the influential Chinese statesman.
Built in 1914, the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum is located in the Kom Tong Hall, originally the residence of the local businessman Ho Kom-tong. Being a typical Edwardian Classical building, this building has the facade surrounded by the Greek-style granite columns. Inside the premises are preserved the stained-glass windows, balcony wall tiles and staircase railings in good condition. Kom Tong Hall was among the earliest residential buildings constructed with reinforced concrete structure and fitted with concealed electrical wiring in Hong Kong. It is also one of the best-preserved buildings dating back to the early 20th century Hong Kong. It has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 2010.
Admission is free. Not only you can see the beautiful buildings and scenery , you can also learn the life of Dr. Sun and his relationship with Hong Kong. Moreover, it is a great place to take photos.

When I was eating a burger at McDonalds In Kuala Lumpur, one of my teeth was damaged by a small bone in the meat patty. When I returned to Hong Kong, I saw Dr. Mak to have my tooth filled . She restored it for about 2 hours. The cost of tooth filling was HK$750. My mother recommended her to me. She still kept my records of fillings for 2005 and 2008. She was very professional.

I arrived 3 hour ahead at the Hong Kong airport. There were very long queues already. I encountered Anita and her son from the USA. They were flying to Vietnam. She looked after my luggage, I wanted to check in using the computer self serve registration. But not successful. At the last minute, air hostess came. She told me to go to the special counter for check in. Luckily I was safely on board the plane.
