Some of the many column-shaped topiaries covered with tangerines/mandarins, which are Chinese New Year decorations. | Mickey looks a little odd, no? |
 |
 |
A kiosk selling roasted chestnuts for Chinese New Year. | Tomorrowland looks pretty much like the US parks, just a lot smaller. |

Cinderella Carousel in Fantasyland. | “it’s a small world” was under construction when we visited. It has since opened. |
 |
 |
Fantasy Gardens is unique to Hong Kong Disneyland. It offers multiple pavilions where you can meet and be photographed with the characters. | The landscaping in Fantasy Gardens is amazing, with lots of topiaries. |
 |
 |
Here you get some idea of the size of Fantasy Gardens, which takes up a lot of real estate in the park. | Details like bridges, topiaries and fantastical light fixtures make Fantasy Gardens really attractive. |

 |
The Fantasyland train station. | Interesting fast food options include Curry Fish Balls, Cup of Sweet Corn and Stir-Fried Squid Tentacles. |
 |
 |
The Curry Fish Balls snack was actually pretty tasty. | This open air play area in Adventureland offered various drums and other instruments to play with. |
 |
 |
The Liki Tikis water play area in Adventureland. Yes, the tikis really look that phallic in person! | Rope bridge to Tarzan’s Treehouse in Adventureland. |

Tarzan’s Treehouse. | View from the Jungle River Cruise. |
 |
 |
The Jungle River Cruise is much more elaborate than the Jungle Cruise in the US parks, and there is no humorous narration. | Animatronic critters on the Jungle River Cruise. |
 |
 |
The fire effects on the Jungle River Cruise are impressive. | Despite the Western name, the Plaza Inn could not be more Chinese in decor or in the food served! |
