A Night in Hong Kong

After dinner at Tsim Tsa Tsui, I descided to walk on my way back to Royal Penninsula, and bring out my pocket digital camera.... 

Night Photography is really in need a steady hand... i don't always carry my tripod with me, so... I just used whatever stable standing object I can lean my hands on... mostly railings and sign posts...

Nine Dragon Mt. Exploration - Huidong, Guandong

Another weekend at Huidong, there's nothing much to do and we decided to hike the 9Dragon Mountain (Tsu Lung Fung - if I spelled it right, thats how I heard it anyway) There is a temple before going up to the top of the Nine Dragon Mountain... and it took us 1:45hrs to reach the summit!






 
MARIA - One of our Chinese friend who guide us there.... and she prayed first before we start climbing... maybe she's praying that we all could reach the top with no harm! .....



On the way up, there are lot of tiny flowers... I knew we will get all tired when descend , so I took the opportunity to take the shot.....


up... up.. climb...climb...crawl...crawl... just taking a rest...

.....and more rest...


 ......more steps.....  to reach the top... according to local people there, its more than 3,000 steps.... whew!!!.....


....where almost there.....


WEEEEEE! a breath taking view.... really a breath taking after 3,000 plus steps!!!!! FINALLY... were on the TOP!!!



...here's what amazed us... when we reach the peak... all of a sudden, we became a superstar!  maybe because of Jeff, who is a white guy... and maybe, (or for sure) this is the first time they saw a white guy in real life....



aaahhhh.. anybody has a glider??? can I just glide down????
