Beijing Highlights | China
Three days. How do you possibly see all that Beijing has to offer in just three days? Well, it wasn’t a leisurely holiday, that’s for sure, but I gave it my best shot. I had just seven days…
Kayaking in Sai Kung
Oh I do love a public holiday! Last week it was Ching Ming festival, a traditional day of tomb cleaning for the Chinese, which meant a day off work for all of us! The good weather from the…
Hiking to Tai Long Wan
I’ve been wanting to go to Tai Long Wan forever, but I ended up running out of time last year. It’s often called “the most beautiful beach in Hong Kong” and from the photos I’d seen, I could…

Hiking Sharp Island
Time for another adventure! Sai Kung was a town, and an area, that I ran out of time to explore much last year, so I’ve been busy looking up hiking routes around the area. I’ve got a shortlist…
Lovers’ Rock | Hong Kong
