Local Tours | Tai Kok Tsui Half Day Tour | Cherry Street Flower Viewing | Floating Afternoon Tea

On the second day of the Easter holiday, it stopped raining, so Wof decided to go to #CherryStreet to see #Yumu. Starting from Langham Place, turning into Argyle Street, you can see the blooming yucca trees from a distance, and there are many people #checkingin on the overpass. A sea of ​​fish, trees and flowers is quite shocking. Walking down from the overpass and looking back, you can see high-rise buildings such as Langham Place as the background. Continue walking, with Shalun School in the background. There were many people taking photos and sketching in front of the bus stop. That may be the fish tree with the most people in Hong Kong. Then walk to #CherryStreetPark. I went to Cherry Street Park to look for the rare flower species #節果Cassia which only has a few trees in Hong Kong. The flower tree is next to the tennis court, and the nameplate reads "#Cinnamonwood", another name for Cassia tora. The flowers of Cassia toraja grow at a higher position, and Waffles, who only have an iPhone, cannot take a close-up shot of the pink, red and white flowers. The flowering period of Cassia tora is from April to May. There are also fish trees blooming next to the Douglas trees. Fishwood is also called #树头菜. It is quite common in Hong Kong. It blooms twice a year, the next time is from September to October. After taking pictures of the Douglas trees, I had an unexpected gain when I was about to leave Cherry Street Park: the #crownofthecrownvine clinging to the flower stand. This should be the first time for Wof to take pictures of the first crown vine. It turns out that the crown vine is a relative of Bauhinia bracteatum and Oleander. The tiny, lovely white flowers have little pink tendrils growing out of them, adding color to the crown vine. After admiring the flowers at Cherry Street Park, the next stop was #浮生, a coffee shop that Wof hadn’t been to for many years. During afternoon tea, Waffles ordered the all-day red bean cream thick toast ($48). The thick toast was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the red beans were not too sweet. It was so delicious that it was comparable to the one he had had in Fukuoka, Kyushu. For drinks, I ordered a cup of fresh milk roasted tea ($48), which uses roasted tea powder produced in Izumo, Shimane. The latte art is so beautiful, it looks like the Easter bunny, so beautiful that Waffles can’t bear to drink it. After finishing the meal, I took a sip of fresh milk roasted tea, which had both tea and milk aromas. It was of good quality and put a perfect end to Wof's half-day trip to Tai Kok Tsui. #wafflesandshrimpcakes #wafflesandshrimpcakestravelhongkong #wafflesandshrimpcakesflowerviewing #hongkonggoodplaces #localtours #goodplacesforflowerviewing #goodplacesforphotography #goodplacesforcheckingin #hotspotsforcheckingin
