HK tourist series - 橫州角洞

Today I had a tiny wish fullfilled and a dream broken - I visited a cave. 橫州角洞 lying in the East Sea is one of the 200 outlying islands in Hong Kong. We rode a small boat, overloaded with 8 nuts, bouncing on the waves towards the cave. In the blink of an eye, my excitement completely vanished. There was nothing inside the cave besides a tiny rocky shore. Feeling disappointed enough, we changed our focus to a sumptuous lunch at Leung Shuen Wan Sea Urchin Farm (糧船灣海膽養殖場) In front of a Tin Hau temple, while fishermen were busy drying fish under the sun, a legendary sea urchin appeared on our table. The display-only cute little creature was indescribably delicious! Plump sea-urchins Sashimi is only served in December, 30HKD per piece. After losing our second hope, we were led to a deserted village, if not astray. At Tim Tin Tsai (鹽田梓), anything abandoned can be a scenic spot: houses, a church, a well, and even graves. The only amusement of today's trip was the 2-hour-thrill-ride home. Many fell seasick.
Returning to downtown, it is an exciting world in a different sense. Posted by Picasa
