Abandoned Treehouse

Found this short hiking route via TimHiking and I went with my mom’s group friends. We went hiking once a month, after sending kids to school. It’s our mom time kind of me-time. It all started at Tai Ho MTR station exit A. Walk towards Tai Ho Plaza, walk towards the park, you’ll pass by Kam Wo Bridge. Follow the sign and head to Lin Au. When you’re at Kam Shek New Village, turn right to the parking lot. Walk through and you’ll see a small pavements at the left. From here, it’s basically one way up, and you’ll see signs of Wat Makthumvanaram. Yes. This abandoned tree house located right behind a temple. It’s a Thai temple. We have to pass through the temple, take the stairs at the back to the treehouse. The staffs are friendly, offering us drinks. When you’re here, please be quite and respectful. It’s really a beautiful place. The streams are clear, the surrounding greens makes everything it looks like a fairyland. Duration: - MTR to Temple round trip (approx 1.5 hours) - We took another route to Tai Po Market and got lost half way (3 hours in total) Distance:4.6km Max. Elevation: 129.5m X #hiking #hikinghk #newterritories #momtime #metime #hongkongmom #outdoor #beautiful #thaitemple #假日好去處 #行山 #郊遊 #戶外活動 #naturalwonders

Replenishing stations: No eateries or kiosks in the park, so bring your own snacks and drinks.

Po Toi
Hong Kong’s South Pole - Po Toi Island Day trip to Po Toi with kids’ buddies. Even at outdoor, mask on face at all time (maybe not, for photo purposes). So, where is this Po Toi I’m talking about? Po Toi located at the most southern of Hong Kong, hence the nickname “HK South Pole “. It is popular for its rocks formations and seaweeds; and of course camping and hiking with incredible views. Took the only ferry on Tuesday at 10am from Aberdeen to Po Toi. It’s approximately 45mins ride. Then begins our walk by turning left once leaving the pier, and continue walking in clockwise direction. It’s a circular trail. So you’ll be covering Old Mansion of Family Mo, Coffin Rock then stop at Ngau Wu Teng (which is the highest point of Po Toi) for some snacks and tea break. Then continue walking, it’s going downhill towards second part of the circular trail, with rocks formations such as tortoise rock, monk rock, palm cliff and passing the 126 lighthouse. This area in the southernmost circular trail. It is also the shortest, and most popular camping site on Po Toi Island. * Distance: approx 5km * Altitudes: 188m * Time: approx 3 hours (breaks included) * Toilet: cubicle toilet at pier and beginning point of circular trail part 2 * Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (plenty of stairs heading up and down with no shades for 2/3 of the trail) * Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How to get there: - from Aberdeen : Tues & Thurs depart at 10am , 3.30pm from Po Toi ; Sat at 10am or 3pm, 2pm or 4pm returning from Po Toi via Stanley; Sun at 8.15am with 6pm returning via Stanley. - from Stanley : Sat at 1.20pm, 2pm or 4pm from Po Toi; public holiday have 4 time slots back and forth.

Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong
Auberge DB staycation This could be our favourite family friendly hotel. Satisfying my kids needs, including bathtubs, Disney Junior on tv, beach or playground at a reasonably good price. Before the playground reopens, I book the staycation packages that includes an afternoon set and buffet breakfast for 2 at $1100 per room, and upgraded to ocean front view for just $300 extras. Room is spacious, bed and amenities are acceptable, view is always spectacular when the sea is included; the fun clubs or I call it the game room for adults and kids are opened which is cool because we had a little bit of fun time with the table tennis, basketball machine and arcade. Afternoon tea set is alright and buffet breakfast with enough food choices. Do remember to book your time slot for buffet breakfast though. The next morning, we had breakfast at 8, done by 9 and head right to the beach nearby. Where we found this beach playground set up by the locals, and a pond next to it. K and D absolutely love this place! The swing, the zipline, the mini- tree house and their favourite spot is the pond where they found shrimp, crabs and fishes! They met other kids and started to play for hours. I love how kids are enjoying and being natural, at nature. I took kids back to the beach and playground a week later. They spent 3 hours at the pond and beach, playing with Italian and Aussie kids. We managed to catch a fish and crab for close observation before freeing them to the pond. I later learnt that this amazing playground we are enjoying are works of these kids hero dads, wanting their kids to be able to have fun outside, especially during the pandemic where the playgrounds are closed.
