• Interests and hobbies
  Hiking. The above photo is taken on a hike in Hong Kong. While most guidebooks focus on our skyscrapers and shopping malls, the trail pictured starts 10 minutes by cab from Central. It ends close to the waterfront at Stanley Market. This walk, combined with a meal along the waterfront in Stanley is my idea of just about the perfect Hong Kong day. But so many visitors seem to spend their time shopping for fake Prada bags in congested Kowloon. For details on this walk or others, contact me ciceronehongkong@live.hk
