The tenth and final stage was an anti-climax. Not only is it very remote and difficult to get to (that's why we did it on the same day as stage 9) but it is also very boring. It seems someone just added it so there is way downhill after the Pat Sin Leng mountain range.… Continue reading Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 10

Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 9
This is by far the most amazing part of the Wilson Trail. I am so glad we travelled that far North, to Fanling, as it was just such a beautiful hike. It was strenous and tiring, and we kept going for 3,5 hours to finish the 10,6km, but it was absolutely worth it! The trail… Continue reading Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 9
Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 8
I was going to write about the Wilson Trail Stage 8 last week already - but I got distracted. I should have been writing about it though, because I managed to loose my pictures from our hike somehow. How annoying! So here are just a few pictures from my friends to accompany the post... Wilson… Continue reading Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 8
Aqua Spirit Bar
Last week we visited Aqua Spirit for the first time - and I was impressed by it. Not only is the view stunning, but the service is great and not too pushy. The bar is on the 30th floor of 1 Peking Road and has dramatic windows overlooking the harbour and the sparkling city skyline.… Continue reading Aqua Spirit Bar
Hong Kong Museum of History
I visited the Hong Kong Museum of History for the first time last week, after our visit to the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Liam Gardens - and for sure it's not going to be the last time. It was a very interesting trip to a museum full of great artifacts! The Hong Kong Museum… Continue reading Hong Kong Museum of History
Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 7
This is one of the longer stages, it is 10,2 km and goes from Shing Mun Reservoir to Yuen Tun Ha. It is an easy stroll, it just takes quite a while to walk the distance. The guide book said it would take 4 hours, we needed about 2,5 hours, but then we did not… Continue reading Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 7
Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 6
Wilson Trail 6 goes from Tai Po Road to the Shing Mun Reservoir. The hike is 5,3 km long and it is estimated to take 2 hours, but we only needed 90 minutes including a short break. The hike on its own is short, so best to combine it with Wilson Trail Stage 5. You… Continue reading Hiking: Wilson Trail Stage 6
Red Pandas in Ocean Park
Next to the Giant Pandas in Ocean Park live two red pandas. The Latin name of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) means "fire-coloured cat", on account of its eye-catching russet fur. Slightly larger than a domestic cat, it has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs.… Continue reading Red Pandas in Ocean Park
Giant Pandas in Ocean Park
My favourite attractions in Ocean Park are the Giant Pandas - they are just so amazing to watch! I can't get enough of them. On our team day we spent quite a lot of time in the two panda houses! At the HKJC Giant Panda Habitat (which is the older of the two panda houses)… Continue reading Giant Pandas in Ocean Park
Team day in Ocean Park
Last week we had a team day out in Ocean Park - everyone in Hong Kong really loves Ocean Park and with the large number of attractions (animals and rides) it is no wonder that more people go to Ocean Park than Hong Kong Disneyland. Ocean Park really has so much to offer! We spent… Continue reading Team day in Ocean Park
