Enough clues on it for you (to further investigate)? Hope so! :b

YTSL, no it doesn’t, but if you can give me any clues, I’ll include it in the next edition!

Does your book have information about how and why there came to be a (now abandoned) school at Lin Fa Shan (inside Tai Lam Country Park)? If so, I’m definitely getting it! :b

I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. It was the Leisurely guide that kick-started my interest in this kind of thing, so many thanks.

I echo Susan’s comments. Let’s hope you don’t have to do too many rewrites to remove stuff that gets demolished 🙁 (maybe you should send a complimentary copy to Donald, it might make him realise this stuff has a market)

Thanks Susan! Good sales for the previous books in this series have been an encouraging sign.

Although I’m not much of a hiker, some of my favorite days in Hong Kong were spent walking through the territory’s less-developed areas. It’s so important to keep these spots preserved for the next generations, and a book like yours will help ensure that they don’t disappear anytime soon.
