With all of them, I've separately done some hiking in the northeastern section of Hong Kong -- a scenic area that, perhaps because it's quite a bit a ways from Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, not that many hikers look to have ventured into. And one autumn day, I went with one of them and a friend of his once again along a circular route that began and ended at Wu Kau Tang, a still inhabited village that doesn't look that much changed from a decade or more ago, that I've come to like quite a bit...
In Wu Kau Tang, there are older and newer buildings,
some of which look abandoned, others of which still show signs of life
Nearby is a clump of trees whose red leaves attract
visitors to the area around this time of the year :)
All year round, this is a place where one can be in
solitude and commune with nature
This is the kind of countryside sight that I think
worth going several miles to see and be in the midst of :)
I don't know their name but the sight of these flowers
sure do brighten up an afternoon :)
It's hard to resist the temptation to stop for drinks and/or food,
and a welcome rest, at the Fook Lee Teahouse at Sam A Tsuen
The shoreline of Double Haven is beautifully scenic,
and another place that's tempting to tarry a while at
At the same time, there are plenty of abandoned dwellings
that attest to this section of Hong Kong being
nicer to visit than to live long term in! ;b
