  • Ap Lei Chau HK South Horizon Tai Chi Early morning and evening there are young and old(especially the elderly) practicing Tai Chi , Wushu and other martial arts both here and and across water on the Aberdeen side. Mug a pensioner here, at your peril

  • Ap Lei Chau HK Local Fishing 100M off South Horizon The signs prohibiting fishing are totally ignored as are those against bike riding
  • Ap Lei Chau HK Local Fishing 100M off South Horizon I never really fished in UK but I have this image of a male dominated sport. In HK, it is common to see women, all ages and classes, fishing. I think it’s a cultural (HAKKA) thing.
