What a fun day after Christmas. After Skyping with our family we took off and rode out to Yuen Long to see the Ping Shan Tang Village and hike the heritage trail. The last heritage trail was a disappointment, but this one we enjoyed. It took in a museum, some old clan buildings, and the original wall of a walled village, and the last ancient pagoda in Hong Kong.
Then we caught the Yuen Long light rail out to the Hong Kong Wet Land Park. The only problem is that it was closed because of Avian Flu, but it’s a “go back” for later. It’s out in the Mei Po, estuary area and looks very interesting, and there is a big museum/display/building there. So it’s something we will go back to.

Then back to Yuen Long and McDonalds. Haven’t been there in about two months, and it was tasty. Then we walked through one of the malls and they had entertainment, a girl that climbed a red fabric and did acrobatics on the fabric and an old guy (and I do mean old - he was about our age) who climbed a metal pole and did acrobatic tricks on the top of this pole. When he stood on top and rocked it back and forth Dew got butterflies for him. It was fun to watch.
Then back home, a full day!
