HK Day 2: High Island East Dam and Sai Kung

We set off really early at 7am and we took a cab to High Island East Dam and I will just say that the cab ride was the freakiest ride of my life. It’s kind of like Genting Highlands where the road is really steep, narrow and winding and my cab driver would accelerate on the bends as if he was some crazy race car driver aka Formula 1. I seriously feared for my life there and then and when I got out of the car, I felt nauseous. Thankfully the feeling dissipated after I walked around abit.

For our inquiry study, we had to formulate a hypothesis to explain why the landform was as such and my group picked this site because we were intrigued by the column blocks and the differing colors of rocks.

After the field study, we stopped to take a group photo and look what we found! Aren’t they just absolutely adorable?

Claudia absolutely melted when she saw them and they were so obedient! They could actually obey commands. And the cuteness doesn’t just stop there. I saw even more cute dogs along the way! Tada!

That’s when I realised that Hong Kongers really love their dogs! After saying goodbye to all the cute puppies, we boarded yet another boat that took us around Sai Kung, the place renowned for its seafood.

There, we viewed more spectacular landforms from our boat. I just love the beautiful greyish blue sky and the green sea. What a refreshing change from our usual cityscape! The pace of life seemed to have slowed down tremendously and I had time to reflect, rest (the sea sick pills made me drowsy) and breathe.

And at night, we decided to have supper at Yee Shun (since it was near our hotel in Mongkok) and have their famous milk curd! I highly recommend the ginger tea one! It was so potent and good though they are famous for the double whipped variety.
