【Photo Journey】《Tsz Shan Monastery》Car ran along Ting Kok Road of Tai Po District to the north of the New Territories of Hong Kong. Tolo Harbour was on the right whereas thick woods and hills were on the left. A huge and white Guanyin statute appearing in the greenwood mountains, facing Tolo Harbour, was particularly dazzling. My friend told me that it was Hong Kong businessman Li Ka-shing who spent HK$ 1.5 billion to build this Tsz Shan Monastery.

【Photo Journey】《Revisiting Grass Island》Grass Island (Tap Mun) is an outlying island northeast of the New Territories of Hong Kong, with an area of 1.69 square kilometers and the highest point of the hill is 125 meters. As the island is full of grass around the hills, that is the reason "grass island" is so named. Standing atop the hill, I could enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the beautiful view. Therefore it attracts numerous campers and travellers.

【Photo Journey】《From Tai Long Sai Wan to Chek Keng》: To enjoy the most beautiful beach in Hong Kong, you can not go without visiting the famous Tai Long Sai Wan (lit. "Big Wave West Bay") at Sai Kung East Country Park in Hong Kong. It is due to the wide bay with shallow water, sandy beaches, big waves and beautiful scenery that it is renowned to be the top of the ten beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. I first came to Tai Long Sai Wan for scout camping some 50 years ago.

【Photo Journey】《Fujian Tulou》: The coach was running along the hill road northbound to Tulou (lit. clay house) district at the South Stream in Fujian, China. Here was a valley of 10 odd kilometers long in the suburb where the meandering South Stream was flowing. On either side of the stream were stepped fields. Village houses were built on the hill slopes, either gathered or scattered.

【Photo Journey】《Ancient city in the rain》In travel, it is most despairing to encounter a rainy day. Everywhere is wet and misty. All beautiful scenes seem to be covered by a layer of gauze. Shooting landscape photographs becomes a big challenge. That day I came to an ancient city in Chaozhou, China. It had heavy rain all day. My interest in sightseeing was greatly reduced.
