The hike to Tai Long Wan (Big Wave Bay). A beautiful place on the east coast of the Sai Kung Peninsula; a large bay with white sand beaches and seas of tropical blue or turquoise, flanked by rugged headlands and backed by green fields beyond which rise some impressive hills. The main route follows a stretch of Maclehose Trail, up and over the ridge from Chek Keng - which you can walk to from a bus stop at Pak Tam Au. Scenes from the video : This area is within the New Territories (often abbreviated as N.T.), one of the three main regions of Hong Kong, alongside Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon peninsula; it comprises over 85% of Hong Kong's land area (nearly 1,000 square kilometers).

With FunFancie ... WangXianGu, also known as The Fairy Valley or Valley of the Immortals, is a legendary place in Chinese mythology and Taoist folklore. It holds significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of spiritual attainment, immortality, and the pursuit of enlightenment. According to legend, WangXianGu is located in the remote and mystical mountains of China, often described as being hidden within the mist-shrouded peaks of the Kunlun Mountains or other ranges. The name "WangXianGu" translates to "Valley of Seeking Immortals" or "Valley of Longing for Immortals," reflecting its association with those who seek to attain immortality through spiritual cultivation and the practice of Taoism. In Chinese mythology and Taoist beliefs, immortals are revered beings who have achieved enlightenment, transcending the mortal realm to become eternal and divine. It is said that WangXianGu is inhabited by these immortal beings, who reside in secluded caves, pavilions, or palaces within the valley's lush and picturesque landscape. Throughout history, WangXianGu has been a source of inspiration for poets, scholars, and artists, who have depicted it in literature, paintings, and other forms of art. It has also become a symbol of the quest for inner harmony, wisdom, and spiritual liberation in Chinese culture. While WangXianGu is primarily a mythological and metaphorical concept, there are real locations in China that are sometimes associated with the legend, such as scenic valleys, mountain retreats, and sacred sites believed to be imbued with spiritual energy. These places often attract pilgrims, seekers, and tourists seeking to experience the tranquility and beauty that are reminiscent of the mythical Fairy Valley.

With Walking Vincent ... "Tonight, I'm coming to ShenZhen's FuTian district to watch the light show. Futian is the central area of ShenZhen, where the government is located, and the city's tallest building, Ping An Finance Center, is also here. In mid-December, the weather in ShenZhen starts to get cold, so there are fewer people on the streets. Every Friday and Saturday night, there is a light show in the Civic Center Square. This is one of the viewing spots, but I heard there's an even better viewing location on a nearby hill (I will go and explore it later, so stay tuned). Well, let's enjoy this beautiful light show together. In China, ShenZhen ranks first nationwide with 185 buildings taller than 200 meters, far surpassing New York in the United States. Moreover, the economic development history of Shenzhen is only a short span of over forty years, which is truly astonishing." With Walking in the air ...

China's meritocracy versus Western Elite rule (with a 'vote' of which brand of the same thing can be made every 4 or so years). Is the Western 'vote' simply a way to get one's complicity into a governance that will never really be your side ? Spoiler - the Western model 'wins' the debate - but it is an audience of long brainwashed Westerners - lol ; ) * Try to play. Google doesn't like to play ball with China related videos unless they are clearly anti. No thumbnail or bad sound, etc (plays ok as of 26th August 2020) ... Bonus video, with Professor Zhang WeiWei & Professor Timothy Ash (a Munk debate). Which one works for an elite and which for the common people ... Looks like the video version has been 'black-holed' : (
