Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve

On 25 October 2009, I have been to Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve in Tai Po. I have never realised that there are so many different species of butterfly in Hong Kong. It is so nice to take good photos of them!

Shenzhen Trip - 16.9.2009

I reached Shenzhen @ about 11 am and had lunch at Taoheung chinese restaurant. Then I visited Shenzhen Museum New Hall in the afternoon. It was opened on 25th December last year. The museum is quite large and has many exhibits about the history and culture of Shenzhen. What impressed me most is that the museum has many interactive features and multi-media facilities. It is good to spend a day there. I returned to Hong Kong @ 6 pm.

Heidi - A Girl of the Alps

Shenzhen Trip - 27.2.2009

Watami Shenzhen

Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park

I have a free train ticket to Lok Ma Chau so I decided to have one-day trip to Shenzhen. I arrived at Shenzhen @ 11 am and had lunch at Watami Shenzhen in Coco Park Shopping Mall. Then I reached the Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park. The Park is very large! Yesterday was very sunny and I was too tired to walk around the Park. I think I shall go there again! Then I had some time to go shopping. At nite, I had dinner at Taoheung chinese restaurant @ Shenzhen. It was not expensive but the taste was so-so. I arrived @ home @ 10:30 pm.

Yuen Long Half-day Visit - 16.1.2009

On 16 Jan 2009, I have visited a number of places in Yuen Long. At first, I have been to Yuen Long old town (Nam Pin Wai & Sai Pin Wai) where there were ancient chinese temples (Tai Wong Temple, Yuen Kwan Yi Tai Temple) and Tsun Yuen Pawnshop (which was built 200 years ago!)

Tsun Yuen Pawnshop

Then I visited Man Tin Cheung Park & Tai Fu Tai Mansion in San Tin area. It was probably built in 1865 by Man Chung-luen and said to be one of the most elegant buildings throughout the territority. Some decorative features of the Mansion were of western style.
