  10. Down the TRAIL... The Japanese stored explosives here during World War II reputedly. The valley was home to a small farming community. The kilns near the old schoolhouse was a remainder of the local lime industry in the past. Sok Kwu Wan in the distance

  11. Fine cuisine as always been Hong Kong’s pride. With seafood playing a large part in Cantonese cuisine,a seafood meal is a must-try. You eat what you picked In Hong Kong seafood restaurants, there are rows and rows of fish tanks containing types of sea foods: fishes, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, clams, conches, you name it. You can take a look at them before deciding what to eat. You get to pick your own fish or whatever and the staff will get it right from the tank. Rule #1 in picking seafood:Pick the those in good condition: Alive, healthy and responsive when you poke it. Sea Food Dinner

  12. Don’t worry.The staff always give truthful advice and help you pick the best ones and have it cooked in the best way. *YUM YUM!!*

  13. Day 2 - Lantau Islandtotally Chinese!

  14. Fact box Height:26 meters Weight:220 tons The Big Buddha Being the largest sitting bronze Buddha in the world, the size brought problems about the construction funds. A Japanese merchant offered a huge donation, under the condition that the Buddha face the direction of Japan. His offer was of course declined, as the Buddha is now facing the South China Sea. Then, most construction companies consider building this huge bronze statue on an 800-meter plateau an almost impossible project. The Big Buddha was eventually completed byChinaAerospace Science and Technology Corporation( who build China’s frist rocket) in 1993

  15. Lunch-Vegetable meal Vegetable meal, 齋in Chinese, means fast or purification of body and soul. One is to consume no meat.The Po Lin Monastery has a large rectory serving such meals: Bits that taste or look like meat are actually four dough. Have you fooled!

  16. ~Po Lin Monastery~ How long has it been around? At around 1905, 3 monks from the mainland, Daiyud (great happiness), Tunshou(sudden inspiration) and Yudming (happiness and understanding) arrived at Ngong Ping. They found the quiet plateau a good place for meditation and achieving inner peace and built a small stone room ,then a cottage. Some monks heard about it and came to help make clearing for farming and do some other chores. In 1924,a famous monk came to the monastery and became the first abbot.The monastery was then officially named ‘Po Lin’.

  17. Po Lin (precious Lotus) Monastery Aside from Buddha, the are a lot of other Buddhist figures like Bodhisattva Kuan-Yin You can also try fortune telling. Kneel before the altar and take the bamboo cylinder containing fortune sticks in your hands. Shake it carefully and one numbered stick will finally fall to the ground. Match it with the relevant printed Fortune Paper. Bring it to the fortune teller and tell him what you to know(e.g. career, romance)He will interpret the paper for you and tell you what the Fates have in store for you. Why do Buddhist monks and nuns wear a yellow robe?When the ancient Indians looked into the jungle they could always tell which leaves were about to drop from the tree, because they were either yellow, orange or brown. Consequently, in India, yellow became the color of renunciation. Monks and nuns robes are yellow so they can act as a constant reminder of the importance of not clinging, of letting go, of giving up.

  18. Tai O a.k.a. the Venice of Hong Kong Meet the Boats People who live in ethnic houses built on stilts! In the 19th century, Hong Kong was still a fishing community and most people lived on boats. As the boats are small, people built houses on water near Wing On Street to accommodate their families. In the 50’s Cool in Summer time Now

  19. TAI O FISHING VILLAGE They are not Buddhist temples.They are for other gods and goddesses the boats people worship. Yeung Hau Temple Kwan Di Temple

  20. Famous for... Past: Sea Salt ( old salt pans everywhere) Now: Shrimp Paste and dried fish

  21. Chilled Dim Sum(Touch your heart) Instant food is essential in the hectic Hong Kong life. We have the greatest variety of them. The best however was Chilled Dim Sum. All you need to do is to pop it in the microwave oven in the shop. All kinds of devices are designed to make them as delicious as possible, and they actually work!

  22. BUDGET We advice our friend to bring HKD$2000 for extra spending and if we miss the bus we’ll have to take taxi.
