These photos were taken during the early morning from our apartment in Tai O, a little fishing town on the western coast of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It was half past six in the morning and the sky was already bright as fishermen set out to work in their boats. Such a tranquil and special moment to wake up to.01Early morning06tc4

    Gorgeous! And how cool to stay on Lantau instead of in the city, especially on the western side away from the tourist spots.

      I was in HK for about 10 days, so we stayed in three different places – first in Mong Kok, to give my parents a taste of what I find so fascinating and energising about HK; then we spent some time in Tai O, Lantau where we got to see a less common side of HK and did some hiking; finally, I returned to Central with my sis where we rented a top-floor studio in Sheung Wan that gave us access to the rooftop. HK is one of my favourite cities in the world!

    […] As no preservatives are added in the production of SunnyHills pineapple tarts, they only keep for two weeks. Which meant that none of what I bought would last till Chinese New Year. So I ended up sharing most of them with my family when I met them the following week in Hong Kong and we ate quite a few when we were hiking in Tai O. […]
