what we did

Yesterday we made our way to the south side of HK island to find Waterfall Bay - a historical waterfall where ships on their way to Canton (Guangdong) used to stop for fresh water. To get there, you have to take a bus to Wah Fu estate and find your way to Waterfall Bay park. From there, some steps lead down to the bay Although there is a padlocked gate with 'No swimming' signs, nothing says not to trespass, so we joined a few other people on the rocky beach. The tide was low, so the waterfall was not plunging directly into the sea as such, but more into a small foam-covered pool. This bay apparently used to be very picturesque, but has been allowed to become quite dirty. It's a shame that historical places like this have been quite neglected. Still, the view of Lamma Island and huge container ships making their way through the Lamma Channel was good.

From there we managed to make our way along the coast most of the way to Aberdeen. On the way we passed what looked like a Tin Hau shrine where over the years people had placed statues and other paraphernalia, so that now the rocks are packed with them.
