Friend's auntie suggested to her that we can go Yuen Long to search for maple leaves. And since I've visited quite a number of must-go tourist spots in Hong Kong, I decided to go for this maple leave hunting with my friend.
Yuen Long is located in New Territories West, Hong Kong. It took us about 1.5 hours to travel from Central to Yuen Long. We took train and then another bus in Yuen Long to travel to Tai Lam Country Park, the place where a lot of bloggers mentioned about maple leaves. When we were queuing for bus, we think we are heading to the right spot. The bus stop was filled with a lot of tourists and locals holding their professional cameras.
So, being a not-so-professional tourist, we followed the path of others. When we saw the signage below, we were really happy. Right spot to hunt for maple leaves. Yesshhhhhhh......
There's signage showing where to find maple leaves. So we were more relax that time. But we need to walk for another hour to reach our destination. Half-way through, we found a huge barbeque spot. So we stopped by to take some photos and enjoy the fresh air. *breath breath breath*
The place where people can barbeque and enjoy some family time. =D
It was getting dark when we continued to walk to find maple leaves. Before we found maple leaves, we saw sun-setting. Hence, we walked a little faster so that we could take some nice photos.
About 15-20 minutes after the barbeque space, we found maple leaves and a lot of people! Oh! Such an amazing place! So romantic and pretty. =D Too bad we went there a little too late and hence the photos aren't very awesome. But it's my first time surrounded by maple trees with red maple leaves. <3
So many maple trees!!!!
Me and the maple leaves. So pretty!! Autumn feeling in winter. =)
My favourite photo taken by my friend. You're such an awesome photographer. <3 <3
Different experience in different country, with different weather. That's why I love to travel.

Ahhh!!! Don't forget to get some Yuen Long Lou Poh Peng (老婆饼) on your way to the park or on your way back home! Heard them from TVB dramas? Why not try them yourself? =)
