Hong Kong, November 30 - December 11, 2007

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Causeway Bay. Some activities:

Attended a total of four concerts, including a Cantonese opera, which I documented in my music blog.

Ate at the "obligatory" Lamma Island Rainbow Restaurant.

Wetland Park visit.


Pei-pei, a wayward crocodile that was caught. It now resides at the Wetland Park.

Visited Cheung Chau, hiked to Cheung Po Tsai Cave. Cheung was a pirate and there are several caves where his loot was supposedly stashed. Also visited Tai O, the boat trip to see pink dolphins did not result in any sightings.


Cheung Po Tsai Cave. One of the many places when the pirate supposedly stashed his loot.


Tai O Fishing Village. Many houses are on stilts. The place is much improved from a few years ago.


Eagerly awaiting our trip out to see pink dolphins. Alas, the trip was unsuccessful.

Took tour of Tolo Harbor and various islands in the area. Many abandoned villages in this part of Hong Kong that is very close to the mainland.


An abandoned village.
