Naughty fungi


Shakespeare writes: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." I am thinking these mushrooms I found on our walk looks like some part of the human anatomy. Guess I must have a dirty mind.

Wonder what they are called and whether they're edible?

More heritage info




I've always wondered about that huge mansion and swimming pool that looks like it belongs in Love is a Many Splendored Thing. So now I know, it's called Yick Yuen and used to belong to a rice businessman.

New hiking trail

Looks like Mui Wo has got a new trail, called the Islands Nature Heritage Trail. That's a picture of Mui Wo from Mong To Au, taken from the government website.

We caught glimpses of the opening ceremony at the Nam Shan picnic area from the bus but thought it was just another marathon or something.

The new trail starts in Mui Wo and goes all the way to Pat Mong in Tung Chung and is supposed to take three hours (most likely all day for people like me).

We may just steel ourselves for a walk. But can anyone tell me exactly where the trail begins in Mui Wo?
