Yesterday I joined the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp group for a hike in the New Territories, between Sai Kung and Sha Tin. We hiked about 10km and it took us 5 hours, as we had to climb the 600m high Buffalo Hill and descended on undefined path with lots of rubble, stones and overgrown grass.… Continue reading Hiking: Buffalo Hill
I've done this hike a few times in different directions, most recently from Tung Chung to Tai O (see this blog post here). It is a fairly easy hike as it is all very flat, just a little long with 13km. I started the hike by strolling through Tai O - I really like this… Continue reading Hiking: Tai O to Tung Chung
There's a natural infinity pool on Lantau and it's not the best kept secret. Quite a lot people know about this place, so it was not surprising that it was quite packed when we visited it last Saturday. We walked from Shek Pik to Tai O (here's the full post) and just before we hit… Continue reading Hiking: Infinity Pool
Yesterday I joined a group of fellow hikers who were all ready to explore the South of Lantau Island. We started off at the Shek Pik reservoir and walked parts of the Lantau Trail backwards, stages 7 and 8, to reach Tai O. The hike was 18km long and it was hot and sunny, so… Continue reading Hiking: Shek Pik to Tai O
Last Saturday I was strolling from the Discovery Bay Plaza to Discovery Bay North and I had my camera with me - so I decided to take a few pictures of my walk. Let's start with the DB International School, which is right next to the SKH Wei Lun Primary School. The DB International School… Continue reading Walk to Discovery Bay North
A few days ago I decided to hike on Lantau again. There was no MeetUp group meeting that I wanted to attend, so I just decided to go on my own. Given it was broad daylight, there were lots of hikers out there, I had enough water and a map plus my RoadID (a tag… Continue reading Hiking: Discovery Bay to Mui Wo and back
We went on the Hong Kong Foodie Tour in Sheung Wan as guests (see my blog post yesterday) - in return we agreed to be filmed. It turned out to be a very fun day with Gary and RJ from F8 Photography doing the shooting. They filmed us out on the streets, as well as… Continue reading Behind the scenes at the Hong Kong Foodie Tour
Now you might be wondering how come I've been out and about and trying so many new food places recently? Well I've been lucky, I've been invited to go on a food tasting tour in Sheung Wan. Cecilia and Silvana from the Hong Kong Foodie Tours took us out on a tour that lasts almost… Continue reading Hong Kong Foodie Tours
This is a hidden gem in Sheung Wan. It is tucked away in an inconspicuous building on Po Yan Street. I'm sure I must have walked past it before, but never noticed it. It is a little Oasis hidden away from the hot and busy city. You pass through a narrow corridor into a room… Continue reading Tea Studio in Sheung Wan
Sugarcane juice is extracted from pressed sugarcane, which has been steamed before (at least here in Hong Kong). The famous place to try this is Kung Lee on Hollywood Road. Opened in 1948, the Hollywood Road staple juices around 100 sugar cane stocks a day, using the same machine that’s been functioning for more than… Continue reading Kung Lee Sugarcane Juice
