Sai Kung East Countryside 西貢東郊野

【Hong Kong Nostalgia】
《Sai Kung East Country Park in Hong Kong》: Hong Kong is widely known for her beautiful countryside and outlying islands. Liu Ke-xiang, a famous hiking observer from Taiwan in his new book, "Three-quarters of Hong Kong", also realized that three-quarters of the countryside is the actual character of Hong Kong. As such, on Dec 17, 2014 Colman, my university classmate and I went to Sai Kung East Country Park for taking photos of the country landscape. I am glad that he could join me as we have missed each other for several decades since we left university.

Fall Colors in Horseshoe Valley at Barrie 馬蹄谷上看秋色

【Ontario Yours to Discover】In Toronto, October is always a good month to see maple colors. In the past few years, I always spent an hour's drive north of Toronto to visit Horseshoe Valley Road in Barrie to enjoy the fall colors. I like to go to the section of the Horseshoe Valley Road near the Horseshoe Valley Skii Resort . The entrance of the resort is at the bottom of the slope. While standing on the top of the hill on the Horseshoe Valley Road, one will see the road run down to the valley bottom and continue to move up to the top of the hill. The road appears like a roller coaster on the slide.

Laid the desolate rails
Below is a tranquil trail
Meandering onto the lakeshore tail
