Today, I'll start walking along the coast of Hong Kong Island, and see how far I'll get! :D

Starting in Western District, which is bustling and densely-populated.

This is 青洲 – Green Island!

The trees are working really hard at reclaiming the city here!

More of these trees that we saw in the last days! It's the Chinese banyan aka "curtain fig". And it seems that it's sometimes actively used to stabilize slopes!

Made it around Mount Davis, and reached Waterfall Bay!

This part of the coast consists of a couple of connected public parks, which feel nice to walk in.

Oh hello! It seems that instead of discarding your deity figure, you can bring them here, and a member of the local community will take care if them!

Other places I've been to: "Oh yeah, the city has a *downtown* area, and there you can find a couple of higher buildings."

Hong Kong: *casually sprinkles 40-storey skyscrapes all over the place*

Made it to Deepwater Bay in the South of Hong Kong Island, the first beach I've seen here. Time for a break!

That was my favourite beach from 1963 to 1966.

Shek-O and Big Wave Bay were also good.
