Give SELF a chANCE TO APPRECIATE AND ENJOY the BEAUTY OF the NATURE. :)

TO escape from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, Tai O is one of the places you can choose from. You can not only walk across this small fishing village, enjoy the beautiful sea view, have nice seafood to eat, but also can go hiking with family and friends. Here a place called Man Cheung Po (Infinity Pool) will be introduce to you all, shall we start our journey now? :D
BEING such a stunning area, some people may think Infinity Pool is gift from nature. Indeed, it is a small pond built by Water Supplies Department in 1958 and also the only reservoir that can be found in the mountain.
INFINITY Pool is filled with water from the Waterfall, Man Cheung Po while Man Cheung Po in Chinese means waterfall with a lofty long. The man-made reservoir together with the natural waterfall create a harmonious and breath-taking scenery.

WHEN we arrived Tai O, we walked to a stone bridge near the bus station. After crossing the bridge, we kept on walking along the road which near the coast.

AS we went to Man Cheung Po through Nga Ying Kok, we kept walking after seeing this direction sign. :)
WE had walked for around 15 minutes to here, so there is still a long way to go~~~~~

THERE is just a single road, so no need to be afraid of getting lost!!:D
THE road is easy to walk too since it is paved with cement. ;)
SEE how relaxed we were during the trip, we kept taking photos with these beautiful views!

WALKING for around 20 minutes, we saw another direction sign. It directs us to walk up stairs and then we will arrive the Man Cheung Po after 1 hour 15 minutes walking.
BUT we did not take this as from the Internet, lots of people say that this routine is difficult to walk as the slop is steep there.

HENCE, we kept walking along the coast.
DURING this journey, we walked across the Nga Ying Kok camp site
P.S. there is a BBQ area and river water available. Besides, a small beach is just in front of the camp site. It is so attractive and makes us want to have wild camp there!!!

WE then saw a small pier on our right-hand side.
IT is time for us to take a short rest as it is a journey with no hurry. Just do whatever we want. ;)

WE finally arrived the site of Infinity Pool!!!!
heard of beautiful water running sounds, what a heavenly music from the nature.
WE are so excited and need to take a photo with special pose to record it!! haha
BUT still we needed to walk up the narrow stairs in order to have a close-up view of the Infinity Pool.

OH..... here is a warning sign which saying not allow people to get in.
THEREFORE, we took a rest by sitting on a large stone beside this sign. we were having our fruit to eat, at the same time, we were enjoining the fantastic natural scenery in front of us.
WHAT a relaxing day!!!:D

THE reason why the Infinity Pool is closed is because of water pollution problem.
ALTHOUGH there are not so many tourists know about this place. However, Hong Kong people do. They go to Infinity Pool to have fun and swim.
IT then pollutes the water in the pond which those water is supplying to residents in Tai O village directly. As a result, residents demand for the protection of the water from Infinity Pool and it has been closed for few months.

I think it is good to close the Infinity Pool.
ON one hand, water pollution problem is solved. On the other hand, the natural environment in this region can be preserved and away from the human activities.

HERE is the scenery we saw when we were walking back.
THIS photo showing an area which has reclamation in progress. It is said that a golf course will be built in the reclaimed land....
PERSONALLY speaking, it is benefiting those small amount of rich people who are interested in playing golf at the expense of destroying the nature. :(

WE, human beings, just cannot stop praising the beauty of the nature.
The nature really creates so many gifts for us. Therefore, all we need to do is appreciate and treasure, but not destroy them!
