I went to Lantau Island. I shopped in the mall. After that, I went to Disneyland by train. At Disneyland I ate sushi and noodles in a restaurant. The food was very yummy.

Later, I went to Lamma Island on a ferry. I walked on a beach and saw a lovely waterfall. I ate some seafood in a restaurant. It was very beautiful and quiet. At Lamma Island the seafood is very famous. I want to go back next year.
