Never make your home in a place.
Make a home for yourself inside your own head.
You'll find what you need to furnish it -
memory, friends you can trust, love of learning,
and other such things.
That way it will go with you wherever you journey.

LAM TSUEN WISHING TREE HONG KONG (ULTRA HD 4K) | 林村許願樹
#lamtsuen #wishingtree #hongkong
Welcome to Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree in Hong Kong, known in chinese as 林村許願樹. Our video is shot in Ultra HD 4K, crystal clear quality, as if you are actually here.
'The Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees (Chinese: 林村許願樹; Jyutping: lam4 cyun1 heoi2 jyun6 syu6) are a popular shrine in Hong Kong located near the Tin Hau Temple in Fong Ma Po Village, Lam Tsuen. The temple was built around 1768[1] or 1771,[2] during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
The two banyan trees are frequented by tourists and locals during the Lunar New Year. Previously, they burnt joss sticks, wrote their wishes on joss paper tied to an orange, then threw them up to hang in these trees. It was believed that if the paper successfully hung onto one of the tree branches, these wishes would come true.
This practice was discouraged by the authorities after 12 February 2005, when one of the branches gave way and injured two people. Instead, wooden racks are set up in place for joss papers to be hung while a period of conservation is imposed to help these trees recover and flourish.
The Hong Kong Morris, a morris dancing team based in Hong Kong, dances at the Wishing Tree on 1 May each year to celebrate the arrival of summer.
Lam Tsuen has been a residential area since the Song Dynasty, which was about 700 years ago. The commencement of residence was believed to be in 1287 A.D.[3] Tin Hau Temple, which the wishing trees locate aside, was built during the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty. It was used as the ‘highest administrative body’ [3] in Lam Tsuen, responsible for policies and administration of the villages covered in Lam Tsuen.[3] Luk Wo Tong was made a substitute of Tin Hau Temple in 1954 by the Lam Tsuen Valley Committee. Lam Tsuen wishing tree was an ordinary camphor tree where a tablet for enshrining and worshipping Pak Kung was placed. As years passed, the branches and leaves gradually withered and eventually it became a hollow tree.[3] People started to believe that Lam Tsuen wishing tree was magical after a legend: a man whose son had had a slow learning progress made a wish to a hollow tree. After that, his son’s academic performance has shown drastic improvement. This was spread to other people and an influx of them flocking to make their wishes to the hollow tree occurred. That hollow tree therefore became renowned.[3]
There are four wishing trees in Lam Tsuen. Different trees symbolise various wishes. The first tree prays for career, academic and wealth. The second tree is for marriage and pregnancy. For the third tree, it states anything can be prayed. Yet, the fourth tree is believed to be most special. It is a fake 25-foot wishing tree made of plastic. This plastic fake wishing tree allows worshippers to throw their wishes to the tree, called “Bao Die” in Chinese.[4] A traditional “ Bao Die “ includes an orange and it ties with a yellow paper.[5] Worshippers can write their name, date of birth and wishes on the yellow paper and throw it to the wishing tree. If you can successfully throw the “Bao die” and it hangs up on the tree or its branches, the myth said your wishes can come true. However, if it drops, the legend reckoned that your wishes are too greedy. But still, if the “wishes” drop, do not give up, try more and keep throwing until you make your wishes success.[4]
Lam Tsuen holds the Hong Kong Well-Wishing Festival found in 2011, is the local characteristic Chinese New Year celebration activity which attracts hundreds of thousands local citizens and tourists from all over the world to Lam Tsuen every year.[6] Held every first and 15th of the first month in lunar calendar and locates in Village in Lam Tsuen in Tai Po, Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree Festival has become an activity in Chinese New Year. Various activities at the festival include throwing wishing placard, setting wishing lanterns to make wish, joining international float exhibition, shopping in food carnival and setting lantern light to celebrate new born babies.[6] The festival is held by the collaboration with HKSAR government and Lam Tsuen. The reporters said that the festival attracted many local citizens and visitors to visit and enjoy a series of activities. Citizens can take the bus 64K and 64P at MTR Tai Po Market Station and alight at Fong Ma Po. Also, they can take Minibus 25K and get off at Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees. Taking taxi at MTR Tai Wo Station can also arrive Lam Tsuen.[7].'

屯門青松觀深度遊及中山公園與紅樓-粵語解述2017Green Pine Temple & Red House
青松觀是一個香港道教慈善團體,「青松」取其「松柏長青,老當益壯」的意思。青松觀,亦指場所,青松觀的「青松觀建築群」,位於新界屯門麒麟圍青松觀路青松徑。青松觀,創立於1950年,屬全真教龍門派,道派溯源於廣東廣州至寶台。青松觀佔地20萬平方英尺,除了是信徒道侶聚合參道之宗教場所,亦是中外遊客及香港市民參觀遊覽之道教聖地。建築為我國傳統的民族特色建築雕樑畫棟,金碧輝煌。青松觀於1949年落成,在屯門市內自成一隅。觀內園地廣茂,殿宇巍峨,金碧輝煌,花林池榭,風景清幽;建築以純陽寶殿為中心,殿內恭奉著呂純陽祖師、王重陽祖師和丘長春祖師三代聖像。這座傳統道教廟宇,原是一處供人避世修道之所。觀內亭臺樓閣精巧典雅,蓮池樹石錯落有致,古木盆栽生趣盎然,極富傳統特色。觀內還珍藏著不少瑰寶,其中包括北京故宮博物館饋贈的燈籠。主樓純陽殿的四周分佈著精心設計的亭臺樓閣、巍峨殿宇、水榭牌樓、中式園林、四合院和魚池,佈局考究,與不同的樹叢、園圃、花卉和盆栽相映成趣,情韻自生,妙不可言。自純陽殿建成後,青華堂、翊化宮、旭日亭、眾妙之門牌樓等也相繼落成,嗣後不斷廣辟庭園,遍植四時花木,增設池榭樓臺、九龍彩壁等,古色古香,美不勝收;千姿百態的樹木,可從觀內精心修飾的盆景中窺見其縮影。每年4、5月期間,青松觀都會舉行盆景展覽,展出數百盆悉心栽種及修飾的珍貴盆栽,開放予公眾參觀。
中山公園,又稱屯門中山公園、龍門路中山公園,位於香港屯門區蝴蝶灣以北,面對龍門路,鄰近蝴蝶邨及兆山苑。相傳此地是孫中山當年與革命同志聚會的地方。公園內的青山紅樓屬於1920年代至1930年代的建築物風格,為一級歷史建築。今天的中山公園就是昔日青山農場的所在地。當時農場的面積廣闊,種植瓜類、水果、蔬菜、飼養雞 及鴨,能夠自給自足。青山農場地點隱蔽,是興中會的秘密基地,用作軍事訓練及儲存武器。著名的惠州庚子起義 及廣州黃花崗起義 事件,皆在青山農場策劃。紅樓內藏有一革命理論牌匾,相傳為孫中山手筆。公園尚有孫中山的銅像及紀念碑,還曾經種有6株桄榔樹,由黃興及孫中山所種植,目前均已經枯萎,只是餘下紀念碑文。近年,該處每年都會慶祝元旦日和雙十國慶,升上青天白日滿地紅旗,並且高唱中華民國國歌與中華民國國旗歌,規模為香港之最。

-----------------------------
My name is Dennis. In 2009, I opened this channel to record or document this city. I know something is being changed in next decade(s), or I felt the change have began since 2003, no later in 2046. I want to, at least, save some kind of city life in video form instead of taken photo or written in words. I strongly believe that motion picture and sound recording are much better way to preserve and present in the future when young generation want to get know of Hong Kong.
In May of 2018, I wrote the following statement in below:
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting me in fulfilling my childhood dream of making videos.
My parents had always taken a tolerant attitude toward my “capricious”: whether my work is feasible and sustainable... and they never complained about it.
As my father just passed away in May, I am left with no choice but to give up my video making venture.
In Hong Kong where the cost of living is sky high, youtube video making is simply not sustainable by google adsense alone. The revenue produced is way too insufficient for affording a domestic helper, and I must look after my mom all by myself - this is why I must stay very close to her at all times.
Unless my revenue is closed to market rate, or my income can cover a domestic helper, otherwise I can hardly justify any video-related works.
Therefore, from now on everything video will be postponed in terms of year(s).
Thank you, and hope to see you all again in the future.
Reason to choose live streaming:
Because I am the only son of my mother in Hong Kong, and I have to take care of her at home. I almost give up this channel because of high consumption of time and living cost. But I found some extra time.
Live streaming will be held anytime from Monday to Saturday 9:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m HKT (GMT +8) at anywhere during my spare time. I live in Fanling, north part of New Territory, so it will include my showtime of traveling back and forth. Because of home care to my old mother, there will be no time beyond above time shown, i.e. NO NIGHT-TIME video. Again, from 9:00 to 16:00 is my bonus time when my mother is staying at the senior daycare center, so before and after that, I will NOT able to do filming.
I understand most of you are looking for high quality of video, e.g. 4K or 8K. But hardware is so important at this post-production, that is, the higher quality video, the higher powerful computer to render video. Financial is my biggest issue, I can't afford to buy an expensive hardware right now. Even previous old 2K recorded video, it wasn't easy at all, one hour video = 1.5 hours of rendering, plus uploading time. How about 1 hour 4K ? = 15 hour up......under this old computer. (please check youtube.com/user/hongkongmap/about )
In order to make it easy for me, live streaming not only save my time but also i can interact with audience, right? But I will continue to make recorded video like before, it maybe situation when signal strength is really poor.
I will continue to run this channel as long as the time is fit-on-me or I don't see any kind of video job could fit me.
I hope this is clear to everyone.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions of watching my live streaming:
A) I suggest viewers should use a smaller screen to watch, it is because I am NOT using a high-end equipment to do live streaming, a simple device with simple set-up.
B) For my location, I will attach a link start with See me on Google Maps! ..... Not only given my location, but also include my local time, and battery %. This live map is only effective during on my live streaming, it will be no show after live streaming is end !
C) So the best way to watch live is by computer's screen, size enough to open 2 windows, one for live video, another one for live google map, in parallel side by side. The map will update every minute or less instead of every second I move.
Hong Kong Holiday
Hong Kong is frequently described as a place where East meets West, blending ancient traditions with the western cosmopolitan influences. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theaters showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, an English-style pub, or a McDonald's,
Hong Kong, which means Fragrant harbor, was a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of its sovereignty to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The former colony is divided into four main areas - Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, the New Territories, and the Outlying Islands. The city itself is centered around Victoria Harbour. The main business district is Central, on Hong Kong Island. East of Central lies the Admiralty commercial district; Wan Chai, known for restaurants and clubs; then Causeway Bay, a major shopping area. Towering above it all is the Peak, Hong Kong's premier scenic outlook and residential district. In Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui (on the southern tip), Jordan and Yau Ma Tei are busy hotel and shopping areas, while Mong Kok is a bustling residential and another shopping area.
No visitor to Hong Kong should miss the longest escalator in the world, the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator and Walkway System. The Statue square at Central derives its name from the various effigies of British royalty on display here that were spirited away by the Japanese during the occupation. Only one statue actually remains, a bronze effigy of Sir Thomas Jackson, a particularly successful Victorian chief manager of the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank. The colonnaded and domed neoclassical building on the east side of Statue Square was once the old Supreme Court, built in 1912 as the seat of the Legislative Council (Legco).
St. John's Cathedral, an Anglican church consecrated in 1849, is one of the very few colonial structures still standing in Central. Criticized for blighting the colony's landscape when it was first erected, St John's is now lost in the forest of skyscrapers that make up Central. A short walk from Central, along Hollywood Rd, is a temple, one of the oldest and most famous in Hong Kong, the Man Mo Temple. A short distance west of Cat St, next to Hollywood Road Park, is Possession St., a historic landmark without a marker, the spot where the British first landed in 1841. A short walk from here to Morrison St is Western Market, an Edwardian-style bldg built in 1906 as the Harbour Office, another historic landmark, and now converted into an elegant shopping place for Chinese arts and crafts.
A day's trip to the New Territories close to the Szenchen border of China via the Kowloon-Canton Railway led us to Tai Po. The Tai Po district is one of the oldest settlements in HK, and gained fame as a market town and the home of the Tangs, one of the territory's original clans. A visit to Lam Tsuen where we found the wishing tree, a huge but slowly dying banyan tree, led us to the Tin Hau temple, dedicated to the Goddess of Heaven, and to the HK Railway Museum. The museum is housed in the former Tai Po Market train station, built in 1913 in traditional Chinese style. Exhibits, including a narrow-gauge steam locomotive dating back to 1911, detail the history of the development of rail transport in the territory.
The street-long outdoor wet market in Tai Po is a stone's throw from the Museum, one of the busiest and most interesting markets in the New Territories. Towards the northern end of the same street is the double-hall Man Mo Temple, founded in the late 19th century and is dedicated to the gods of literature and of war.
From Taiwo station, the next train stop is Fanling. Fanling literally means ridge of powder, and the place was named after a holy rock found here, which according to legend brings rains. Just outside the station is a cluster of beautiful structures, the Fung Yin Seen Koon Taoist temple built in 1929. From here, we took the next train stop to Sheung Shui, close to the Chinese border at Shenzhen, to visit the cultural gem of HK, Tai Fu Tai Mansion, a fine example of traditional Chinese dwellings of the scholar-gentry class. This ancient mansion was probably built in 1865 in the reign of the Qing Dynasty, as the residence of Man Chung-luen whose ancestors had settled in San Tin since the 15th century.
The best thing about being in Hong Kong is getting smothered by the confluences and contradictions of a Chinese city with multi-Asian and Western elements. A couple of blocks northeast of the Jade Market is a temple dedicated to Tin Hau, the goddess of seafarers. The Tin Hau temple complex along famous Nathan Road houses an altar dedicated to Shing Wong, the god of the city, and to To Tei, the earth god, and a row of fortune-tellers. Not very far is the famous night market at Temple St., and Jade Market at Shanghai St.
【拾圍安歌 龍躍頭圍村新娘的末代哭嫁聲】 預告片
導言
哭嫁,是中國舊式婚禮習俗,代表著傳統女性命途的無奈傷感。哭嫁歌,一曲一闕由新娘子口承心傳,憑歌訴述面對不由自主的婚姻,不代表盲忍啞從。
圍村之內,婆婆們默默地守在背後,辛勞大半生。今天,她們準備站在鏡頭之前,盡唱細訴自己的際遇心境。她們現在的聲音,不再若即若離,不用靠近咪高峰,亦其鏗鏘。五載安歌共唱,唱出了家族與社區的四代緣起;流轉下來,又會是怎麼樣的景致?
歌中有物,歷久仍然不老,惟人非意難留。這次,婆婆們與大家一同安坐,當自己人生的歡眾,從畫面回望保存到的珍貴文化資產,與及生活累積的智慧。只希望,她們會心微笑,說一句:「世間,還是有知音人!」

A) I suggest viewers should use a smaller screen to watch, it is because I am NOT using a high-end equipment to do live streaming, a simple device with simple set-up.
B) For my location, I will attach a link start with See me on Google Maps! ..... Not only given my location, but also include my local time, and battery %. This live map is only effective during on my live streaming, it will be no show after live streaming is end !
C) So the best way to watch live is by computer's screen, size enough to open 2 windows, one for live video, another one for live google map, in parallel side by side. The map will update every minute or less instead of every second I move.
