“Secret Beach of the Hidden Ninja”

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Ok, this post is actually just about how my friend Jin Gu and I hiked through the woods to the beach and then took some posed photos, but I thought it deserved a better title. So here’s the story…

Everyday for the past month, I’ve looked out along the coast and seen a sweet beach just beyond campus. I tried to get there by walking directly from the other beach in front of campus, but it appeared impossible. However, last week a friend showed me a path through the woods that lead there. Yesterday I finally made the hike with another friend. It was incredible.

It takes about a half hour of walking through the woods, but the path is very nice. It’s actually not that far from campus, but because there’s a mountain in-between, it takes a while to get there. Other than an old man swimming alone, it was empty. Hong Kong is famous for it’s hiking trails, so I guess this is sort of an introduction for me. I plan on buying some hiking maps soon and trying out some real paths.

As you’ll see in the photos, we found some old bamboo staffs which inspired some creative picture taking.
