China Solar Eclipse
7/14/2009
: We woke up early to catch a ferry to Tap Mun Island where there is a fishing village. After a short hike, we continued on the ferry to Wan Tsai. After a short hike, we continued on the bus to another hiking trail at the high island reservoir. We ended the day at Sai Kung Village (really more of a city)
