When we're Hong Kong, we stayed at Silka Seaview hotel and it's located just a walking distance from the Jade Night Market. But for those who wants to go there from other park of Hong Kong, please find below on how to get there.
The Jade Night Market, officially known as Yau Ma Tei Jade Hawker Bazaar located in Yau Ma Tei in Hong Kong has a long history dating back to the 50's. Original traders in the market came from Guangzhou in Mainland China. After a decade of trading, there were only 10 shops, but then it boomed by the beginning of 1970's, to over 100 shops. By the middle of the 70's, the Jade became popular and one of the most sought-after Chinese souvenir for good-luck charms.
⛪ A Heritage Stop Between Carmen and Baclayon
We were en route from Carmen (after seeing the Chocolate Hills) to Baclayon Church when I caught a glimpse of this serene old structure. Curious, I asked our driver to pull over—just for a few minutes—and I'm so glad we did.
This was Alburquerque Church, also known as Santa Monica Parish Church.
🌄 Dining Above the
Chocolate Hills
During our first visit to Sagbayan Peak, we were so caught up in the views and attractions that we didn’t get the chance to try the food. Thankfully, on our return, we made it a point to dine at Cafe Baudilio—and it didn’t disappoint.
Here are some interesting examples of proper cultural etiquette of different countries:
- The North American “OK” sign made by curling the thumb and forefinger together is an obscene gesture in Turkey, Brazil and Germany, and can be seen as a threatening gesture in parts of the Middle East.
Fun facts about transportation you might be interested knowing:
- On many airlines, each pilot eats a different meal to minimize the risk of all pilots on board being ill. No difference at all when there's only one pilot on board.
Silka Seaview, Hong Kong is situated in Yau Ma Tei, just a footstep away from Yau Ma Tei MTR Station and right next to the Temple Street Market and Jade Market. See below on how to get to the hotel.
