Golden Beach at Nightfall 黃金的海岸

The recent chase of the sunset ends at the Golden Beach in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. Despite missing the chance in watching the sunset on the beach, I have appreciated the light, shadow, feelings and event of the precious moment at nightfall.

Chasing After the Sunset 黃金追落日

Car

From the New Territorries

Leaves Sheung Shui in the north, 

And passes through tunnels of all

Finally comes out of the Kowloon Door.

Driving along Castle Peak Road is the highway corridor

We run towards the west to Golden Beach, least of all!

In 1953, a fire in Shek Kip Mei, Kowloon, made tens of thousands of families homeless. The Hong Kong Government in order to house these refugees, within a short period of time, started the construction of  multi-storey buildings in a nearby hillside of the disaster field. This was the first Hong Kong public housing estate, known as the "Shek Kip Mei Resettlement Area".

Yaumatei ● Temple ● Street 油麻地 ● 廟 ● 街

The name of Yaumatei has close relation with the Yaumatei Tin Hau Temple. According to the record inscribed on a tablet in 1870, the land was named as "Ma Tei" (lit. jute ground). There were many shops selling sesame oil and jute. The place was re-named as Yaumatei (lit. oil and jute ground). Now, the Tin Hau Temple and Temple Street are the landmarks of Yaumatei.

A photo wins a thousand words, 

Maybe there is a story behind it.

Rainy Snaps 雨中攝趣

Most people prefer sunny, blue sky and white clouds to go out taking photos. In rainy day, it will affect the shooting mood, even dispel the idea of photography. This day, I went to Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong, going to shoot some distinctive views. Unfortunately, it rained all day from the beginning to the end of the trip.

Reminiscing Wing Lee Street 情迷永利街

Wing Lee Street is a short street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, its street numbers range from 1 to 12 in a 5-story tenement building. Hong Kong film "Echoes of the Rainbow" was shot in this street, produced by Mabel Cheung, directed by Alex Law and starred by Simon Yam and Sandra Ng. The film won the Crystal Bear Award for the best film of the 60th Berlin Film Festival in March 2010 and subsequently made Wing Lee Street world-renowned. It is because of the fame gained by the film and the reaction of the public rejection that the Hong Kong government eventually changed its mind to retain the entire building which escaped the fate of demolition!
