TRAVEL TALES
Hidden Beauty
An article by : LIU , FANGMING MILLIE
Despite having visited Hong Kong several
times in the past, I have never had the chance
to explore many local tourist sites and enjoy
Hong Kong’s amazing combination of
mountains and sea. But that has finally
changed.
On the 31st of August, SAO organised a trip
to the Big Buddha and Dai Ao, and I am
extremely glad that I joined in. While it was
rather humid and hot, the fishing village was
very interesting. I saw different kinds of dried
fish that I had only seen on television, and it
was my first time to ever visit such place. Even
though the streets (almost alleys) were narrow
and cramped, the residents were very positive.
They have decorated their houses with plants
and flowers. Their stores, though small, were
tastefully furnished and nicely arranged, and
although there was hardly enough room for all
the shops and homes, they have even managed
to squeeze in a school. I guess that it does not
matter where you are or how difficult your
situation is, you can always find beauty in the
simplest things with the right attitude, even
something as simple as dried fish on a straw
sieve.
