Devil’s Peak

Last weekend my friends and I hike Devil’s Peak.  I don’t know how it got that moniker though because it was a relatively short and easy hike.  On the way up we passed the remains of British redoubt barriers that were built in 1914 to garrison the peak in order to control the Lei Yue Mun which is a key passage to the South China Sea.

The hike provided some good views of HK and the harbour from an unusual angle and there were swings at the top! I will admit that we knew this was going to provide good photo opportunities so we had a planned impromptu photoshoot at the top… including outfit changes…

Symphony of Lights

This week we made our way down to Victoria Harbour after work to catch the famous Symphony of Lights.  It’s the nightly light and music show put on against the skyline of Hong Kong Island.  The pictures don’t really do it justice… I would definitely recommend a visit if you ever go to Hong Kong.  If not for the show itself then at least for the atmosphere and street performers that fill the promenade at night.
