Route map to Hunter's (Kam Lo Hom) & over the hills

Aerial shot of Hunter's & YSW, 1964 (submitted by Richard)

Now: leaving Yung Shue Wan behind

Then: YSW before phase 1 reclamation, circa 1994

Largest black spider I've ever seen outside a zoo (5+ inches)

A walk down memory lane

A little shack in the jungle

Collecting antique tea cups, serving as mosquito breeding containers nowadays

Now: sailor's rope sculpture

Then: guest room

Protection from tropical showers?

Bicycle sculptures?

Like jewels glistening on the forest floor

Only the walls are still standing

Hunter's courtyard

Only memories remain

Natural roof, looking like stained glass

Through the bamboo forest

Lamma Forest in the distance

Nature reclaiming its territory


Cozy, isn't it? Notice the REALLY BIG BUG?

Inside Bobsy's former home

First phase reclamation = former Hunter's Beach

Ferry docking

Bobsy in front of the shack he called home 10 years ago

Bobsy talking & waving to his wife who's just leaving the ferry

Now: through the window, see the Lamma Forest growing

Then: Bobsy in Hunter's main room (note the then bare hills in background through right window)

Ancient soap factory, abandoned before Hunter moved in

Fern unrolling

Up the path to the top of the hill

The reward for all the climbing

Busy day at the ferry pier

My favourite shot on this hike. Reclamation in the center

A mysterious & ancient sign on top of the hill

Down the hill, my guide leading the way

At Peter the Carpenter's

Rest stop at the outdoor kitchen sink for Magic & Puppy II

Palatial jungle homes

End of the exhausting hike: ice-cold, sparkling, home-made lemonade!
