Have you ever been to Cheung Chau? Tung Lung Chau? or Stanley?
These are not any places special. Instead, they are only some districts which are far away from the city centre.
In recent years, Hongkongers love to go outside to enjoy their holidays at weekends. As weekends are not long holidays, people have to stay locally. But with packs of mainland visitors/ shoppers cramming the malls everywhere, we are less willing to join the crowds. This gives rise to alternative ways to enjoy the short vacation.
Some places, which are far way from the city centre, become the targeted destinations for Hongkongers. We love to explore every detail of the city. Places which are less crowded and less known are so treasurable. Take Cheung Chau as an example, it is always full of local and Western visitors at weekends. People can enjoy the famous big fishballs, potato crisp tower and many different cuisines too. What's more, is its beautiful beach. People can swim or simply sit aside there.
It seems that local trips (yeah, I call them "trips") to the outlying islands, country parks or anywhere have become the apple of Hong Kong people's eyes. I also want to explore our lovely city more deeply and write more about it. But at the moment, I had better return to my revision first. Bye~
