York of UK is truly a beautiful city full of cultural and historical heritage.
I am thankful that my daughter is now a university student of the University of York, and my family will be visiting this beautiful city in July 2015 again.

Photos taken with my iPhone, from September to October 2014.

The view of Pak Sin Leng (“Leng” means mountain, and “Pak Sin” means 8 fairies in Chinese) from Pak Shek Kok Promenade is wonderful! I went there quite often recently and it is a joy to stroll or cycle there, whether it is a sunny day or a cloudy day, morning or evening. The air is fresh, the atmosphere is relaxing and the view of the mountain and the sea is simply amazing.

Tai Po Kau Nature Trail (大埔滘自然教育徑) is a great hiking trek suitable for all ages! It is truly a gem in Hong Kong if you are interested in studying plants like ferns, trees, mosses, fungi…you will not be disappointed.

一向喜歡欣賞樹木,或樹底下的各種植物,這條教育徑真是一個大寶庫!無論是蕨類植物、青苔或是菌類也生長得十分茂盛,而且整段路都在樹蔭低下,空氣特別清新!
