Using blog to promote a destination can be effectively

I think blog is a useful method to promote a destination effectively. Blog allows users to easily create, publish and share their own content via the internet. Blog is to be updated daily, so that the information is keeping updated. Also, there is an inaction between user and reader. Reader can questions on the blog and once users see the questions, they will answer. This can push users to keep update their blog as they know there are someone read it. Through posting the photos can help reader to understand the destinations better, can have a draft idea.

Ngong Ping 360

Ngong Ping Cable Car is a visually spectacular 5.7km bi-cable ropeway. As the first of its kind in Hong Kong, the cable car journey begins from Tung Chung, crossing Tung Chung Bay to reach the angle station on Airport Island and turning about 60 degrees in the air towards North Lantau.

Visitors will enjoy some of the best views during their joyful 25-minute ride: the vistas of the distant and vast South China Sea and the rolling grassland slopes of North Lantau Country Park from the cable car dramatically change from the hustle and bustle of the city, to the serene and natural surrounds that Lantau is famed for. Ever-changing panoramic views also include the Hong Kong International Airport, verdant, mountainous terrain of Lantau Island, the Tian Tan Buddha Statue and the 360-degree view of the Ngong Ping Plateau.

Approaching the Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal, you will begin to catch your first glimpses of the mighty Tian Tan Buddha Statue. Alighting from the cable car, you are a short stroll from Ngong Ping Village and its many attractions and retail, dining and entertainment experiences. You are also only a five-minute stroll from the Ngong Ping Village to the Tian Tan Buddha Statue.

Yuet Wah Hui Restaurant

I tried a nice Cantonese Restaurant - Yuet Wah Hui last week, which I think the taste is good and with reasonable price. So I want to recommend to you.

This is a local Cantonese restaurant located in Lockhart Road Wan Chai. I did not order any seafood but ordered their Signature Dish - Deep Fried Golden Tofu. It's really tasty, outside is crispy and inside very soft. Also I tried Sichuan Chicken, Deep Fried Pork Ribs, Fried Vegetables and Tofu Fish Head Soup. All the dishes are good taste and the portion is quite big. Total cost $520 for 4 dishes and 1 soup, not so expensive. I think I will come again and try the seafood next time.

You may have a trial next time but remember to make reservation as I had waited for 30 minutes.
