This one is dedicated to Kwun Yum, the goddess of mercy, or Guanyin as she is known outside of Hong Kong. The monastery itself dates back more than a hundred years though the impressive red buildings were added in 1992. From the terrace, which is the flat roof of the earlier buildings, there is a spectacular view across the surrounding mountains

Muk Wu used to be in what was known as the closed area, a stretch of land that was set up in the 1950s, firstly to prevent gun smuggling during the Korean War, but was later expanded to stem in order tide of illegal border crossings. Previously only residents and their families were allowed in but the restrictions have since been rolled back so that now only the river banks and border crossing areas are closed.

Shap Long is a small village on the Chi Ma Wan Pen Shap Long is a small village on the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in southern Lantau. There is not much there, a few houses, one road and no shops. The only public service is an infrequent ferry which calls at a pier on the other side of a short but gruelling hill. This little lagoon forms at high tide. When the tide is out it is occupied by crabs combing the silt and sand for tasty morsels.

The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally b The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally built between 544-548 CE during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế on the banks of the Yellow River. It was moved to Hồ Tây (West Lake) in 1615, due to erosion on the river bank, and underwent major renovations again in 1815.

The pagoda forms part of the Trấn Quốc Temple which holds the ashes of venerable monks.

I saw the last two but I'm sure there were at least another two before I even made it out of bed. Kung Hei Fat Choi; Happy and prosperous Year of the Dragon to all.

A hefty strand of spider silk stretched across the A hefty strand of spider silk stretched across the footpath slammed into my face as I set off on my walk this morning. A reminder that Summer is just around the corner and that soon the trees in my neck of the woods will be festooned with nephila pelipes or golden orb weavers. Their name comes from the yellow sheen on the webs of mature spiders.
.
They are quite majestic beasts but for those unfamiliar, they are the stuff of nightmares. Fully grown the body is about the size of my thumb with a leg span a little wider than my outstretched hand. The webs are commonly about a metre across, though I have seen some that were easily 1.5 metres, and are spun from some of the strongest silk known. Though they do look very pretty when caught in the sunlight. Multiple spinnerets at the blunt end of the spider mean they are quite capable of making spider rope and they are also able adjust the composition of the silk according to their environment. 
.
These huge spiders are always female. The males are a rusty brown color and little bigger than a fingernail. They hang about on the edges of the web waiting, presumably until she has a meal large enough to hold her attention so that he can dart in, do the business and retreat without becoming a light snack himself. I’ve read that a bite can be quite painful but the venom itself is not considered dangerous. I have no plans to put it to the test.

It’s amazing what a lick of paint can do. I last It’s amazing what a lick of paint can do. I last visited the charming little Luen Wo Market a little over two years ago. Then the gates were closed and fastened with rusty chains. The building was in a very sorry state indeed. A gentleman wearing a yellow hard hat did assure me that it was about to be renovated so today I went back to take a look. 
.
Inaugurated in 1951, the market thrived for 50 years, finally closing in 2002 when the stalls were moved to a new location.
.
The building looks much happier now. Its structural integrity has been preserved and veggies, organic this time, are for sale along one side while the stalls on the other now have chairs and tables for guests of the Wake Up Bistro - who are, in fact, open all day.

Found this impressive butterfly waiting when I got Found this impressive butterfly waiting when I got home the other evening. It's a spangled swallowtail (papilio protenor) resting on the bougainvillea. The wing span is about twenty centimetres. They are actually quite common, I've just never seen one stay still long enough to take a picture of it before. I'm afraid I lack the patience of dedicated lepidoptera shooters.

My latest project is now available in bookshops ac My latest project is now available in bookshops across Hong Kong.

Unlike most guidebooks on Hong Kong, this one delves deep into a region that is often ignored yet is replete with ancient monuments and temples, picturesque monasteries, abandoned villages and a network of excellent, well-maintained hiking trails.

Most of the attractions are free or very inexpensive and can be easily accessed using Hong Kong’s excellent public transport systems, details of which are included.
