Wah Fu Waterfall, Sky 100, and Halloween


The Wah Fu waterfall is slightly hidden behind the ocean walkway on the south side of Hong Kong Island.  We were disappointed to discover the locked get.  Then we watched all the natives slide through the rungs and head to the falls.  We saw no reason to stay behind.



   What a beautiful discovery.  BBQs, picnics, children playing, and a delightful scene awaited us.

Asians always snap photos in a variety of poses.  We needed to wait our turn to approach the waterfall.  Truthfully, watching the “photo shoot” is sheer entertainment.

As our ferry crossed the harbor we enjoyed these sailboat views.  The old airport can be seen in the background.  This facility now serves as a cruise ship port.  Thanks to the pandemic, the absence of cruise vessels creates a stark scene.

It seems an entire fleet turned out for a spectacular autumn day event.

MaryAnne, this photo is for you!  The tipping boat did not look easy to navigate.  I was amazed at the strength the crew displayed in righting the vessel.  

Sky 100:  The tallest building in Hong Kong, 393 meters.  One can go to the top observation deck for free during your birthday month.  We took advantage of the offer as Rick only pays a senior citizen fee.  The view is breathtaking.  We arrived after sunset but still enjoyed a spectacular sight.



What a view!  The western side of the peninsula highlights the multitude of roads seen on a busy Friday evening.

    The harbor looks like a sheet of dark glass as the window reflects other visitors on floor 100.

       Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Ferry Pier seem so serene from floor 100.

                                             We act like tourist as our photo is taken on site.

Sister Latimer snapped this incredible photo during her July visit at dusk.  Imagine a phone camera capable of such professional looking pictures.

We hosted another couple in our apartment as we celebrated Halloween, virtually, with our entire district.  Costumes, treats, games, and a lot of fun were provided by our host.  Virtual Bingo was a blast.  Who knew we could create this much fun in a pandemic situation.  These Senior Missionaries know how to make any circumstance a positive experience.
