The spookier side of history

Some see spooky, some see a snapshot into Hong Kong's history! With graves dating back to the 1840s and including some of HK's key influential figures the Happy Valley Cemetery makes for an interesting detour. Just watch out at this time of year as we are celebrating the Hungry Ghost Festival!

A day trip to Lamma

Escape the city by taking a short ferry to Lamma Island. It's only 25 minutes by ferry. Lamma is known for its spectacular seafood lunches and dinners. If it lives in the ocean you can eat it at Lamma!

The Olympics - advancing education around HK and China

A brilliant post by Aaron Mc Nicholas titled 'How the Olympics advances education'. So, just so everyone is on the same page... Hong Kong is a city of the country of China.

That means it has its own Olympic team!
