Countdown to the farewell — 2 more days until the suspension of HKDP
This is one of the pillars at Wisdom Path at Ngong Ping near the Po Lin Monastery. The Wisdom Path is made up of 38 similar wooden pillars with a Buddhist sutra inscribed on them. There are lots of interesting information on it at this link.

Dear visitors,

Sorry for the long silence and absence of posts in the last week. I’m in HK now for Chinese New Year and here’s a photo I took this afternoon at a display at the International Finance Center showing a woman in front of a Chinese character which means “good fortune”.

In a few days I’ll catch up and fill up the “blanks” in the last 10 days; and today we’ll start the countdown to the suspension of posting of Hong Kong, one photo a day after its second anniversary on February 13th.

Being away from HK for a whole year, I find it amazing that I am able to keep posting although I’m not always posting on time. In the coming year, work will be more demanding and posting Hong Kong photos would be quite impossible. It is a difficult decision for me as this blog have brought me so much joy and friends. I’ll post occasionally, and the photos may not be all about Hong Kong…it could be Shanghai or wherever work and vacation take me.

Thank you all for visiting and I hope there will be another daily photo blog on Hong Kong soon which will show you, in different perspectives, this city that I love.

With best regards,

Lisi

Red is definitely the theme color of all kinds of celebrations in China as shown in this festive decoration of the Ocean Terminal in TsimShaTsui.

It is surely the most important thing for Chinese New Year — red packets! I took this photo in a shopping mall in Central

I took this photo under the Canal Road Flyover in Wanchai and I believe this woman is one of the many “experts” in “villain hitting”, a kind of folk ceremony which in my opinion, is quite vicious :p. See this Wiki link for more info (it even has a wiki link!!). This is the last shot of a few I took of this old lady and trust me, she sure looked very upset and I thought I’d better leave before I became her next “villain hitting” target.
