Message from the GM: This must be the most devastating typhoon to have hit Hong Kong in quite a while! So devastating that the hare had to change to change the start and several leaves fell on the floor causing a mild inconvenience to some trees. But speaking of mild inconveniences, please do follow the rules – they’re there for a reason.

Location: Hok Tau 

Start from the usual BBQ pits one assumes.

How to get there:

Serfs: By car along Sha Tau Kok Road, 2nd roundabout, 2nd exit. Up the hill. (or follow the map above). or take a taxi

COVID Rules Reminder

  1. No circle

Message from the GM: Funnily enough, if you do a google image search for Hok Tau BBQ pits, the 10th result is Run 1927 and a Hong Kong police emblem. The reason I’m sure is because of the 17th image.

WEBSHITE’S COMMENT: Legend has it that a bride (Carried Lam) was being carried in a sedan chair by four porters on her way to meet her groom in stormy weather.

The Official Version: As they passed the pool, one of the porters slipped and the bride fell into the pool and drowned. Therefore, the pool was named Bride’s Pool in memory of the bride.

The Truth: The bride was an ugly, miserable shrew foisted on the cute young groom by a despotic northern step-mother Cixi. The groom bribed the eunuch porters to do her in so he could elope back to the future with his sexy sweetheart from the Ho clan, his true catch of the day.
