Temples and More Temples in Fanling

We went out to Fanling to visit the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail. We took the bus to Sha Tin, then the train to Fanling, then a mini bus. Just a block from the train station was the Fung Ying Seen Koon a Taoist institute. It has recently been re-built and is very pretty. We got to see a group of women chanting, with an old man beating the drums for them.


Then we found the mini-bus and pointed to one of the pictures and the driver let us out there. Problem was we couldn’t see where the church was and we wandered through the village looking for it. At one point two big dogs greeted us and we beat a hasty retreat back to the main road. On the main road we found the church right where we got off, don’t know how we missed it.


Then we walked up to the rest of the sites. These are really old buildings and a walled village. Problem is people still live in them, so you aren’t allowed inside. Bummer! It was fun, but not at the top of the impressive list. But it was fun to go to Fanling, a new spot for us.


Then we found a bus to Yeun Long. Doesn’t matter where we go, we always seem to end up taking a bus to Yeun Long, then the bus home. It’s a great ride. This was an interesting ride to get there, one of the stops for the bus was the stop where you pick up a special shuttle to cross over into main land China to Schenenzen. We were about as close as you can get without going in.
We had lunch at ...McD’s! Then walked about a bit then home. Nice day, a little hot, but nice. When we got home we turned on the TV and are now watching the Olympics live. I am afraid that this is going to be a pattern for the next few weeks. Very fun!
