It's been a few months since I was last in Sai Kung. But today's breezy and sunny weather made it a great day for a hike. There are a lot of interesting plants along Tai Mong Tsai Road (大網仔路), like this cinnamomum camphora (Camphor Tree). I often see deodourize/bug repellants being sold at local the homestores using this as a natural alternative to moth balls. Oddly enough, I didn't smell too much of the typical camphora scent even after walking right up to the tree.
It was a busy day in Sai Kung, with lots of people walking their dogs and playing on the beach. There were even a lot of boaters the water--lots of old wooden boats for fishing.

BBQ forks are sold pretty cheaply in HK, about 8HKD each. but I was still surprised to learn that they are typically thrown out, rather than reused, by most people afterwards. At least at this camp site, bbq forks are disposed of separately from other litter. I wonder if they are reprocessed or simply just cleaned and resold?

The weather is still a bit cool and many shops were closed for the Chinese New Year holidays, so I didn't see many people canoeing today.

Aside from local residents walking their dogs, there were lots of sightseeing visitors as well. Guess I wasn't the only one to think that today was a beautiful day for a trip out to Sai Kung. It was a long wait heading home--I ended up waiting half an hour for the mini bus back down to Hang Hau in the evening...
