Hiking Lion Rock
I don’t know why I’m suddenly hiking so much more in Hong Kong, since I didn’t do it that often at home – see my posts from Mirror Pool, Dragon’s Back, and of course, The Peak. But…
Hiking to Mirror Pool Waterfall
Wednesday was a public holiday here in Hong Kong – Chung Yeung Festival, a day when many locals go to worship at their ancestors’ graves. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, making it…
A Week in Ontario | Canada
