no nature in hk? the fiction one can learn on the net.

i am guessing you do not value freedom much, and instead take what rights are granted.

i understand norway has plenty of nature; perhaps too much.

cheers, j

Take a look at Google Earth. HK has a surprising amount of forest. TJ lives on the south side, which is mostly forested mountain side, interrupted by residential complexes. Also some nice beaches.

Webster - nada blade of grass in HK? What an ignorant statement. When I lived on money rock, I had a 100% green view from my flat, and could only see Kennedy Road below, but no other man made structure. I also walked to work in Central which took me all of 12 minutes, unless I stopped at Pacific Coffee for a jolt of caffeine, and/or checked in for a flight on Cathay in Pacific Place (this pre central station/ new airport).

Take a day and walk the dragons back trail from Shek-O to Victoria Peak. Good for the soul, eyes, and heart.

Actually, given the population density it's amazing how much natural environment there is in Hong Kong.

I took this photo myself while walking along the trail on the Peak:



It's looking in roughly the direction that Jay lives a few kilometres away. I guess not much grass but plenty of rainforest :)
