近日苑內的四株梅花已經開始綻放，迎來一片梅花海，繁花如雪，飄香處處。近日已有不少攝影愛好者及惜花人，絡繹於途，搶先前往賞花。
到蓬萊閬苑可乘火車於大埔墟下車，經運頭塘邨德雅苑接走達連道，步行十五分鐘，見左有路牌往半山洲山頂花園，再行十多分鐘便到。亦可乘的士直達。
到達即見道教聖地鳳凰山蓬萊閬苑山門，其上有「鳳凰山」浮雕鑲在彩壁中，除正面石級直上主殿，亦可從旁邊小路進入苑內。
蓬萊閬苑依山坡而建，主殿為呂祖殿。據說此苑建成於六十年代中期，為區內具特色道觀，是仿照道教神仙棲居的仙苑而築成。道觀內擺放著各種仙景塑像，而苑內正中為大殿，上書（蓬萊閬苑），殿柱樑角及飛簷均有鳳凰裝飾，供奉呂祖先像和八仙像。
We planed to spend a short holiday at the Silvermine Bay Resort Hotel on 27th and 28th this month.
On Thursday noon, from Central we caught the 13:10 pm ferry and arrived Mui Wo in about 35 minutes.
Turned right towards the Mui Wo Cooked Food Market, we passed a fancy promenade along the beach towards the Silvermine Bay Beach. We had a quick lunch at the Silvermine City Restaurant and headed for the Silvermine Bay Resort Hotel that stands right in front of the beach.
Lee Tung Avenue has been organising “Mid-Autumn Celebratory Fair” for a few years. This year Lee Tung Avenue again organises a fair to recreate the vibrant Mid-Autumn Festival between 23 and 25 September. The fair features various traditional crafts, including lantern-making, puppetry and sugar-candy blowing, as well as traditional snacks. It will also see the “LED Fire Dragon Fiesta”, which marries the ancient custom of fire dragon dance with environment conservation. The dragon
parade team will parade around the giant Moon Rabbits holding traditional lanterns.
Last night we were not surprised to find that the tree-lined pedestrian walkway equipped with lifestyle and dining options were full of people waiting to watch the dragon parade, it was such a spectacular show that we had an unforgettable night.
許多年沒有來維多利亞公園參觀中秋綵燈會了；昨晚吃過晚飯便走來看看。可能時間尚早，還是今天衹是迎月夜，遊人並不太多。今年綵燈會的主題是「星空明月銀河夜」，看見維園球場四周掛滿燈籠，中間擺放了外星人、星球、太空船等與太空為主題的花燈，處處燈式多采多姿。其中更有可供人穿過一個光與水互動的裝置，讓人經過「時光隧道」來到「蟲洞」，令市民有去太空旅行的感覺。間中還有一隊隊小明友在舞著小火龍，好不高興和熱鬧啊！
今天晨運後走經北帝廟，不見常常出現的駝背黃貓，卻見小黑仔走了出來；可能這幾天打風加上廟宇塌了一棵百年大榕樹，沒有人來餵飼，已餓了幾天吧，見到我就喵喵叫過不停。連忙打開剩下的一罐貓糧，给牠吃。不用幾秒，整罐貓糧就給牠吃完了！真是餓啊！
早幾天山竹襲港，北帝廟塌了一棵百年大榕樹的情況。
灣仔北帝廟建築宏偉，面積是港島廟宇之冠，內有三個殿堂，廟內主殿供奉身高三米的主神北帝；而兩側設有三寶殿、龍母殿及財神殿。根據廟內碑刻所載，灣仔北帝廟曾於民國十七年（一九二八年）進行重修。華人廟宇委員會於二零零五年更動用千多萬元為本廟進行大型維修工程。
Although the rabbits are sure to delight with their cuteness, there is also a stern ecological message at play: on Parer’s continent, rabbits are literally an intruder– pests which Australia has combated since they were introduced by 18th century European settlers.
A new exhibition, the “Moon Rabbit Lumiere”, jointly presented by Lee Tung Avenue and China Hong Kong City. Together with world-renowned Australian artist Amanda Parer, the two venues are going to showcase 10 giant “Moon Rabbits” that have appeared in over 80 cities and 40 international arts festivals and event spaces.
This world-class art installation has been viewed by as many as six million people worldwide already.
山竹風災後第二天，早上六時半再沿寶雲徑上寶雲道，發現寶雲道花園內的塌樹给清理很多了；雖然有些大的樹幹還是東歪西倒的橫躺在地上。
一路走，發現到處還是塌樹；我們要攀越一個又一個的塌樹叢，才能到達寶雲道公園；不過這個公園還是滿目瘡痍，真有點兒似—侏羅紀公園啊！
Giant ‘Moon Rabbit’ art installation lands in Hong Kong for the first time! China Hong Kong City and Lee Tung Avenue jointly present work of Australian artist Amanda Parer this Mid-Autumn Festival.
As people are getting ready for the full moon and some romantic time this Mid-Autumn Festival – one of the most celebrated occasions in Hong Kong, the ‘Moon Rabbit’ was being set up at the Lee Tung Avenue this morning after Mangknut left Hong Kong.

超強颱風「山竹」吹襲後，香港多處損毀。寶雲道此一晨運地亦不能幸免；今天早上沿途見損毀的情況跟昨天差不多，周圍還是滿地塌樹攔路，一地垃圾，要手足並用才能穿越樹叢，從活水走到寶雲道公園，再到跑馬地。沿途所見，塌樹東倒西歪，真可說是滿目瘡痍。
Super Typhoon Mangkhut, the strongest in wind speed to hit Hong Kong, buffeted the city with monstrous winds, waves and floods yesterday. The Hong Kong Observatory hoisted the first No 8 signal of the year at 1.10am yesterday as Mangkhut approached. It raised it to No 9 six hours later and to the highest, No 10, at 9.40am, during which Mangkhut slowed from a super typhoon to a severe typhoon. No 10 stayed up until 7.40pm, when it was lowered to No 8.
We went up the Bowen Drive this morning as usual after a day of rest to find no trace of Ginger but only fallen trees and leaves everywhere. As we were near Bowen Garden we found the new comer meowing to us asking for food. We gave her a whole can of fish and some dry food. She must be very hungry that she finished all in no time.
Floriade is Australia’s biggest celebration of spring. This iconic Canberra event will run from Saturday 15 September until Sunday 14 October 2018. We were there in 2016 travelling from Sydney Central Station to Canberra by taking Murrays Coaches. It has been one of our most memorable experience. Wish that we can be there again next year!
Here are a collection of photos taken in Floriade 2016:
Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince, first published in April 1943, a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Lee Tung Avenue has launched a French wedding campaign under the theme of ‘Vintage Wedding Garden with The Little Prince’ from 26 July to 26 August 2018 with a series of events theming with The Little Prince.
The Little Prince has his rose, so do you and I. Have you treat your rose wholeheartedly? “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the
eyes. Men have forgotten this truth.” Said the fox to The Little Prince. I really hope that you have not forgotten this truth?
轉眼又到香港電腦通訊節，今年它已踏入第十五個年頭了。今年它還首次與香港旅遊發展局合作，加入[工銀亞洲香港電競音樂節]；但昨天入場參觀時，感覺場內氣氛不及早年的熱鬧，參展商數目也不如早年的多。希望來屆會有更多展品出現！
