Kowloon and to Tai Po

Good Morning all my wonderful friends. After visiting the Kowloon Walled City Park, it was time to head to the Tai Po area. Since I was in Hong Kong, I wanted to visit the apartment of Wang Fuk. A couple of months ago, six blocks caught fire due to the netting material.

You can read more about the first part of Kowloon Walled City Park in the link below.

A model of the park is being displayed here. This whole area used to be a whole block of buildings that housed 30,000 to 50,000 people.

A short history of the walled city. This walled city is part of Hong Kong's unique history.

The part is now quite a nice place. No entry fee needed. On any stressful day, this park is a great visit.

Despite Hong Kong being modernized, there are parks around the city that give the city a breath of fresh air.

There are different zodiac animals scattered around the park. Twelve of them altogether. Below is the zodiac of the cow.

After that, it was time to head to the other parts of Hong Kong to explore.

I spent a lot of time walking in Hong Kong at around 25k average per day, even with all the conviniences of the MTR and buses.

This is the view of the apartment block from below. This is what a building looks like on average here. In Miri, most of the locals lived on landed properties so it is quite amazing to look at such tall buildings.

It is the cooler month of the year, fortunately making walking a viable option. There are lots of walking to do.

After a bit of walking, we were here finally at the MTR station, and the next place that we wanted to head to was Tai Po. Then, we had to find a bus to this area.
