Dog-Friendly Outings in Hong Kong with Mochi

Ever since Mochi arrived in our household, I have been looking for dog-friendly places to take him-- indoor, outdoor, whatever!  He hasn't gotten his third shot yet (that's in two weeks' time), but I am eagerly waiting for the day that he can finally roam around in the "real" world outside our apartment without fear of contracting some funky illness.  In the meantime, I've been doing research and conjuring up some fun outings for when he's ready to go.

Outing #1:  Mikiki Mall in Prince Edward (May 2015)
I was very excited to find out about this mall, which was built with pets in mind.  You can rent a pet stroller for free and dogs are allowed to walk all around the mall with you.  They are not allowed in restaurants except for the terrace of California Pizza Kitchen.  It was Mochi's very first outing and he didn't like much the pet pram -- I think he would have much preferred walking but as he hasn't gotten all his jabs yet I didn't want to take the risk.  There are plenty of dog supply shops in the mall and we saw a few other canines including Corgies.

First time in a shopping mall

Outing #2: Weekend getaway @ Lamma Island 
- We booked an Air BNB flat allowing doggie friends to join and we will take Mochi to the dog friendly beach (one of the only ones in HK!) for his first swim.

Outing #3:  Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park + Brunch at Open Door Cafe (Planned for July 2015)
Every Saturday morning I do boxing with my bootcamp, BikiniFit, at Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park.  I was happy to discover that there's actually a pet park located adjacent to the SYS park, where Harry can hang out with Mochi while I exercise.  After boxing class, we can walk over to Open Door Cafe & Courtyard where puppies are allowed inside the restaurant and they even host puppy and owner yoga classes here!  This would make for a fun Saturday morning outing.

Outing #4: Tai Long Wan Camping (Planned for when weather gets cooler)
Tai Long Wan is probably one of the best beaches in Hong Kong, and Ham Tin Wan is the place to go with some tents in tow for the night.  I plan to drive from home to Sai Kung Town on a Saturday morning and park at the cheapest overnight parking in Sai Kung (http://www.mackcarpark.com.hk/eng/carpark_info.php?id=28#), the Sha Kok Mei Car Park, and then grab some brunch and supplies in Sai Kung Town Center (probably Classified or Pepperoni's or any of the dog friendly places around Sai Kung Town Center) before hiring a water taxi to take us to Ham Tin Wan (about $130-$150 per person, 30 mins each way).  Hopefully the boats won't mind puppy in lifejacket for the ride! On the way back we can book our water taxi back from the shop/restaurant in Ham Tin.
