THE 'HOOD'

SOME MORE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Here are a few pictures taken in the HKBU/NTT neighborhood.
Looking Northwest From My Office - Beacon Peak in the Nine Dragon Range
North of Campus - The Palace Residencies with Lion Rock Peak in the Background.
On one of our Saturday hikes, eleven of us went to the summit of Lion Rock. We went in the late afternoon to avoid the heat, had a picnic dinner, and wended our way down in the dark.
On another of our Saturday afternoon hikes, we went to the nearby Kowloon Walled City Park, mentioned in an earlier blog. Along the way was this "Christian Cemetery."
Across the street is an old British Army Barracks that is now staffed minimally by the People's Republic Army. Roughly translated, the sign proclaims "Be Politically Correct! Behave Properly!Protect Your Country Forcefully, and The Military is Hard." :-)
