I went for my second heritage trail in the New Territories last week with a friend, Mara. This short trail took us through 11-century-old villages which most are connected to the Tang Clan. This area is known as the mountain of Dragon “Lung Ling” as there...

Hoi Ha Wan is a marine park situated in the Sai Kung peninsula. It said that mangroves, various corals and more than 100 species of fishes can be spot in the area. I thought it would be a nice stop for a Saturday outside the crazy city. But first of all,...

Situated in the south of Hong Kong Island, Shek O is a small village surrounded by a country park. Of course it is a popular destination for the weekends because of its beach, barbecue area and local restaurants. The first beach I discovered in Hong Kong...

After a nice swim in the Bride’s pool, we are starting the real hike in the Pat Sin Leng country park. It is known for its dizzying, rugged uplands… hopefully I didn’t know it before; Pat Sin Leng means Mountains of the 8 immortals! It is a symbol used...

After going in safaris in South Africa, I was a bit disappointed by this park. Everything looks controlled and artificial; you are not allowed to go past the path. Also, the park is offering structures for birds watching, visitors are not respectful of...

Situated in the New Territories, the Hong Kong Wetland Park is worth a visit. It is a conservation and education facility, offering themed exhibition, a resource and visitor center and even a theater. Starting the tour with a bunch of screaming and running...

On our way, we found a map of the Ping Shan Heritage trail; it was helpful to know where we were. Based on the description in our book, the same hike was described but without a map… Two ancestral halls are the next stop on the trail. The Tang ancestral...
