This is Hong Kong...

Dear all,

Happy new year and Kung Hei Fat Choy!!!

Over the new year I got a bit sick and tired of this concrete jungle we called Hong Kong, so me and a couple of friends decided to venture out to the outskirt of this city to search for a peace of mind. What we found blew our mind away...never really care to know about this side of Hong Kong...

here's are some of the photos I've taken...enjoy...

On a beautiful sunny day, we started out from Tai O and hiked along the South-Western Coast of Lantau Island for approx. 3 hrs...

When we finally reached the campsite in Tsin Yue Wan around 5:00 pm, we quickly set up our tents and found a perfect spot for view of the sunset. Apparently, this campsite is said to have one the nicest view of the sunset in Hong Kong...

Although I was a bit disappointed to find out that after nightfall, the city of vices, Macau, suddenly appeared across the sea with its dreadful city lights...but I guess the beautiful sunset, compensated for all that...and we got real drunk at night anyways...so it's didn't really matter that much...

And I guess it's true that, sometimes when you live long enough in a city, you tend to focus more on her vulgarities, but the fault could equally be ours, that we city dwellers are often too ignorant or busy in our own hustle n bustle that we misses all the beautiful things a city possess...

...anyone??

take care all...
