 Gorgeous Tai O Tai O on Lantao Island is famous for its traditional waterfront stilt-house community and is known as the 'Venice of Hong Kong'. Its landscape and scenery is equally breath-taking. It is the last authentic fishing village in Hong Kong. Don't miss the fabulous Lantern Festival celebrating Mid-Autumn Fest with 1,000 hand-painted lanterns lit-up the community at 6:30 to 9:30 pm, through end of October. Tai O . Hong Kong | 2020 30 Sep 2020  1,000 Lanterns Illuminate Tai O as Community Celebrates Mid-Autumn Fest To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the first choice is to go to Tai O for the 'Tai O Water Village Lantern Festival'. There are 1,000 hand-painted lanterns hanging high in the streets and alleys. Each lantern is painted by hand, which is unique and meaningful. In previous years, during Mid-Autumn Festival people mostly went to Tai Hang for the fire dragon dance or to Victoria Park for the lantern show, which are both cancelled due to the epidemic. The Lantern Festival is organised by the non-governmental organisation 'Tai O Fei Mao Li' (rhyming with non-profit), aiming to provide diversified cultural activities for the Tai O community. The hand-made lanterns add a touch of festivities and colour to Tai O. Light up every night from 6:30 to 9:30, September 7 to the end of October. A must see! Tai O is known as the "Venice of Hong Kong". It is the last fishing village in Hong Kong that still retains its original look and feel. It is crowded every weekend. Tai O is a peaceful paradise viewed from the outside and associated with only 'seafood, shrimp paste, and white dolphins.' Normally, after 7 pm in Tai O, the shops are closed and the tourists have left. At sunset today, the streets are lit up with colourful lanterns. Many people come out and take pictures. More locals return to celebrate. The otherwise quiet community seemed to have been activated, a rare scene. Tai O . Hong Kong | 2020 29 Sep 2020  Reunion at Admiralty Interrupted by Police - Umbrella Movement 6 Years On On 28 September 28 2014, tens of thousands of protesters demanding universal suffrage and democracy took to the streets of Hong Kong. The Umbrella Movement – so called because demonstrators carried umbrellas to shield themselves from police pepper spray – took over the main street in the city centre. A seminal event for Hong Kong that lasted 79 days and drew over 1.2 million people. The 2019-2020 campaign against the extradition to China Ordinance is a larger-scale continuation of the Umbrella Movement. On June 16, 2019 alone, more than 2 million people took to the streets. Starting at 6 pm today, over 100 citizens gathered at the three-storey atrium of Pacific Place in Admiralty and the pedestrian passage leading to the Admiralty Centre to commemorate the large-scale occupation protest of the Umbrella Movement outside Admiralty Station 6 years ago. 87 tear gas canisters were fired then, igniting the mass protest movement. At least 6 police vans and about 20 police officers were on high alert outside Pacific Place. Someone in black used his/her mobile phone to display "6 Years Already", and displayed 4 posters with 'Add Oil (Bravo) Hong Kong' and 'Save 12 Hong Kong Youths', etc, on the ground. Someone held up a yellow umbrella to 'support freedom and fight the evil laws.' Someone took the lead in chanting 'Free Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times' and some responded. Others sang 'Glory to Hong Kong'. On the third-floor of Pacific Place, 3 plainclothes policemen were videoing. At 7:35 pm, 'Lunch Brother' David and his friends sang 'Glory to Hong Kong' in the atrium. At 7:40 pm, a large number of police officers entered Pacific Place and pulled up a orange blockade line in the atrium to stop and search citizens and reporters. Several citizens, including David and this reporter, were intercepted by police officers for investigation, registering ID cards and press cards. We were released after being detained and questioned for 40-60 minutes. Admiralty . Hong Kong | 2020 28 Sep 2020  My photo is the top story on the front page of Master-Insight.

Hong Kong | 2020 27 Sep 2020  Eddy Explores Abandoned Residence Complex Eddy, an avid urban explorer and IT Specialist, sits down to takes a breather after exploring an abandoned residence complex for senior staff of one of the leading employers in Hong Kong. Built in 1905, it is now a declared monument. Urban exploration is based on the principles of 'take nothing except picture', 'leave no trace' and 'not revealing the location'. Hong Kong | 2020 26 Sep 2020  Central Sit-in Reading News to Protest Press Freedom Infringement Undaunted by Police Hong Kong police summarily revised the definition of 'media representative' under the 'General Police Order' and cancelled recognition of the press card issued by the Hong Kong Journalist Association and the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association. They decided to recognise only journalists from news organisations accredited with the government, sparking concern and criticism from the city's press groups and public anxiety. Some netizens initiated today's "Lunch with You" flashmob in Central to defend the truth and democracy and protest against the violation of press freedom. At 1 pm, dozens of citizens gathered at Statue Square in Central, at least 1.5 metres apart, holding up Apple Daily and reading the newspaper silently to show their love for press freedom, undaunted by at least 6-8 police vans and about 20 police officers patrolling nearby on high alert. Central . Hong Kong | 2020 25 Sep 2020  My photo is the top story on the front page of Master-Insight.  Lenny Explores Remains of Former Seven Sisters Reservoir Dam Lenny, an avid urban explorer, surveys the remains of the No. 5 dam piping tunnel entrance of the Seven Sisters Reservoir at the Choi Sai Woo Park. The entrance of the tunnel is built with stepped and protruding reticulated arch stones. The pilasters under the archway support friezes, cornices, parapets, and triangular gables engraved with "No. 5 Dam", "Taikoo Sugar Refining Company Limited" and "1894". The design of pilasters is influenced by neo-classicism, and the friezes, cornices and parapets are also elegant. Swire Pacific established a private reservoir in upper Seven Sisters District of North Point in 1894, named Seven Sisters Reservoir, aka No. 5 Reservoir. Since the local residents believed that its scenery was comparable to that of West Lake in Hangzhou, China, the reservoir is called Choi Sai Woo. The reservoir was used to supply water to Tai Koo Dockyard, Tai Koo Sugar Factory and Hong Kong Bottler in Quarry Bay. In 1977, the reservoir was filled to build a private residential estate, Braemar Hill Mansions, and part of the land was returned to the Hong Kong government. In 1985, the Urban Council built Choi Sai Woo Park on the north bank of the reservoir. Braemar Hill . Hong Kong | 2020 24 Sep 2020  Hong Kong Police Critised for Screening Journalists Limiting Press Freedom Hong Kong police have controversially decided to recognise only journalists from news organisations accredited with the government, sparking concern and criticism from the city's press groups. In a letter to 4 local journalist groups from the police on Tuesday, only journalists from media organisations registered with the Government News and Media Information System (GNMIS) and “internationally known and renowned” foreign press would be recognised while credentials from the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) and Hong Kong Press Photographers Association (HKPPA), previously recognised, would no longer be accepted. The move is a direct assault on the city's press freedoms, with troubling and wide-ranging implications. It comes just weeks after about 200 police raided the newsroom of Apple Daily and arrested its outspoken founder and publisher, Jimmy Lai. Police have in past months stepped up their unsupported accusations that there are lots of 'fake reporters' at protests. The new policy came months after police chief Chris Tang apologised to the press for 'undesirable treatment' after some officers ordered journalists to kneel, stop filming and fired pepper spray at them during a protest in May. In a statement jointly issued by 8 Hong Kong media unions, including the HKJA and HKPPA, the new policy “seriously affecting reporting and press freedoms” which will hasten Hong Kong's move toward totalitarian rule. They demanded the new policy be scrapped. If not, they would respond with 'necessary measures.' 'Police unilaterally made such a major amendment without discussion and consultation, destroying a relationship that was built over many years,' said the statement. Last October, Chief Executive Carrie Lam denied rumours that her administration was considering introducing a system of centralised registration for journalists. Admiralty .

Hong Kong | 2020 22 Sep 2020  Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir Discharges like a Waterfall After days of heavy rain, the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir is overflowing and needed to be discharged. The magnificent water cascades down like a waterfall, which is spectacular.

In order to gain more sunlight, it tries to climb up and down in the woods. It will climb tall trees, and then bend around the ground, forming different shapes. Native to Hong Kong, it has taken hundreds of years to grow from thin vines to gigantic tentacles with a diameter of 20-30cm. It is spectacular to observe, resembling a giant python that twines and around other trees. Fanling . Hong Kong | 2020 13 Sep 2020  Futuristic Yaumatei Carpark to be Demolished Next Year Yaumatei Carpark Building, a public multi-storey carpark located at 250 Shanghai Street, was opened in 1957 and is one of the first generation public carparks in Hong Kong. In 1977, the Gascoigne Road Flyover was built to bypass existing surface road and go through this building, making it famous and a landmark in the Yaumatei district. Lee Ho-yin, head of Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes at the University of Hong Kong, pointed out that this design is very futuristic. The roads of the future cities pass through buildings and integrate the transportation network with the architectural design. This design is unique in the world. In response to the construction of the Central Kowloon Trunk Route, the government will close the parking lot in stages starting from November this year and plan to demolish it next year. This means that this futuristic urban wonder will soon disappear. Yaumatei . Hong Kong | 2020 12 Sep 2020  Yaumatei Tin Hau Temple The rooftop of the Tin Hau Temple complex in the bustling Yau Ma Tei area, a community that was once on the harbour front. Although land reclamation means it's no longer on the shore, fishermen still flock here to worship the Goddess of the Sea, Tin Hau. The temple is a Declared Monument. Yaumatei . Hong Kong | 2020 11 Sep 2020  Central Sit-in Reading News to Protest Arrest for "Seditious Words" Deemed Unlawful? On September 6, National Security police arrested "Fast Beat" Tam Tak-chi, vice president of pro-democracy People Power, hours before a planned massive protest march. After being detained for 48 hours for investigation, he was charged with 4 counts of "using seditious words." His bail was refused and must be remanded in custody of the correctional department. Legislator Ray Chan, aka "Slow Beat", accused the government for literary inquisition using colonial-era sedition charges. Chan worries that if Tam were to be found guilty, it could be seen that people would be at risk of being arrested simply for expressing their discontent towards authorities. The charges are in conflict with the Basic Law and the Human Rights Law. Netizens launched a "Lunch with You" flashmob in Central today to defend freedom of speech and protest against criminalisation of speech. At 1 pm, dozens of citizens gathered at Statue Square and the open space of Exchange Square in Central, sitting at least 1.5m apart, holding Apple Daily news to read silently, demonstrating their love for freedom of speech. There are at least 6 police vans and a dozen police officers on patrol nearby. They stopped and searched many citizens who read newspapers and registered their ID cards, as if in a totalitarian police state. Central .

Hong Kong | 2020 9 Sep 2020  Macaques Safeguard Hong Kong at Shing Mun Reservoir Visitors to Shing Mun Reservoir in Tsuen Wan will be greeted by macaques, besides the famous Paperbark trees. Shing Mun Country Park is the main habitat for wild monkeys in Hong Kong, where large groups of macaques can be seen. From 1913 to 1936, Shing Mun reservoir was built on the hillside, and the poisonous plant strychnine tree, aka poison nut, grew on the surrounding hills. Poison nut is one of the 4 major poisonous weeds in Hong Kong. Its fruit contains alkaloids that are highly toxic and could be fatal. If the fruits fall into the reservoir, it will pollute the water making it toxic, thus affecting the health of Hong Kong people. The relevant government departments therefore adopted ecological treatment and introduced macaques to eat the plants. Macaques are immune to the toxicity of poison nuts, and gradually become the masters of the reservoir. Some people consider food-grabbing macaques as pesty, when in fact they are safegarding our drinking water. Tsuen Wan .

Hong Kong | 2020 7 Sep 2020  Sep 6 Kowloon March to Protest Election Delay Undaunted by 2,000 Police Deployed Today is September 6, the original polling day for the general election of the Legislative Council. However, on July 31, the government forcibly postponed the election for one year on the grounds of the epidemic, which angered the public. Netizens launched a march in Yaumatei Tsimshatsui Mongok area in Kowloon today to protest the postponement of elections, the Hong Kong National Security Act and the health code, etc. However, the police warned for two consecutive days that they would 'enforce the law rapidly and decisively', and there are reports that the police will deploy over 2,000 police officers in response. With the decline of the epidemic, the number of confirmed cases has continued to fall to single-digit. Recent polls indicate that nearly 70% of the public support the resumption of the Legislative Council elections as soon as possible. Winnie Yu Wai-ming, founder and chairwoman of the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance, who won the democratic primary election earlier, stated that she is absolutely in favor of holding the election as soon as possible. As long as the epidemic prevention measures are taken during the voting period, the election can actually continue. The government's citywide coronavirus test is done mostly at the same polling stations. Why can the same place be used for testing but not for voting? Plus, schools have resumed, why is the Legislative Council election still postponed for one year? Starting at 2:30 pm, a large number of people gathered near Eaton Hotel in Jordan and Nathan Road. Most of them were dressed in black and marched along Nathan Road towards Mong Kok. When the police performed stop and search, they turned into the side streets. Citizens were undaunted by over 2,000 riot police and dozens of police vans deployed nearby in a high-profile manner. Yaumatei .

Deities shed, theatre shed, Ghost King stage, Priests shed, Lone Soul stage, Ancesters stage, etc. Each bamboo shed has its own characteristics and is dizzying. The colourful and eye-catching Chiuchao-style paper works, traditional flower billboards, and all kinds of Chiuchao cakes and pastries are dazzling. The venue is as if it were an exhibition of Chiuchao folk crafts. There are 3 great robes in the robe shed, namely, the robe of "Heaven and Earth Parents", the robe of "South and North Stars" and the robe of "Blessing Deities". There are only 2 great robes at the Yulan Festival in the Chuichao neighborhood of Sham Tseng. They are called Heaven and Earth robes, which are dedicated to the heavenly father and earth mother respectively, one each for man and woman. There are also food, offerings, wine and tea sets in the shed. The number for each set of wine and tea sets during the ceremony is significant. A set of 12 wine cups represents the 12 months; 24 represent the 24 solar terms. The 10 bowls represent the 10 Zodiacs, offerings for the Deities. The number used varies by region. Sham Tseng .

Hong Kong | 2020 3 Sep 2020  Artists 'On Fire' at Ghost Fest as Peggy Chan Laments Loss of Voting Rights Yesterday was Hungry Ghost (Yulan) Festival, the 14th day of the 7th month on the lunar calendar. According to traditional customs, many citizens burn offerings on the streets for the wandering souls and ghosts. Since 2016, the C&G Artpartment has organised the "On Fire" performance art every year during the Yulan Festival, inviting artists to burn their self-made artworks. Through this activity, everyone will have an opportunity to speak out, to express their negative feelings, and to satirize the ridiculous current affairs. Last night, more than a dozen artists participated at the Nullah Road Garden in Prince Edward, including Kacey Wong, Peggy Chan, and Lai Man-ho. Their self-made paper artworks include protest gear, ballot boxes, Winnie the Pooh, deer, virus helmets, giant masks, umbrellas, etc, all associated with current affairs. Artist Peggy Chan made three ballot boxes, in red, white and blue, which symbolize the democratic aspirations of Hong Kong people for genuine universal suffrage. On the ballot box were written 8964, 721, 831, figures that are of great significance to Hong Kong people. Chan pointed out that 'I don't want the memories of Hong Kong people to be erased or modified.' The government's citywide virus tests use the same locations as most of the polling sites, and classes have resumed. Why is the Legislative Council election still postponed for one year? Artist Kacey Wong made protest gear - a yellow helmet, gas mask, 'Fire Wizard suit' and 'Smoke Extinguishing Team suit' to burn for his future self. Wong said that he admired the fighting role of the Fire Wizards and the Smoke Extinguishing Team, 'risking their lives to fight for Hong Kong's democracy and freedom.' Artist Li Man-ho made a large Winnie the Pooh with a mace in his hand, satirizing the warrior diplomacy of a leader of a superpower, and the National Security Law that sacrificed the future of Hong Kong, hoping that everything would disappear after cremation.
