Last Saturday, it was a good day, my mother and my nephew (Ka Hai) and I visited to the Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees, it is one of the popular shrines in Hong Kong. The trees are located near the Tin Hau Temple in Lam Tsuen. Several years ago, many tourists and the locals enjoyed very much to frequent the two banyan trees, especially the period in Lunar New Year.

According to the traditional custom, tourists wrote their wishes on joss paper and tied together to an orange, then threw them up to hange in the wishing trees. It was believed that if the joss paper successfully hung onto one of the tree branches, their wishes will come true. However, this practice was discouraged by the authorities after 12 February 2005, when one of the branches gave way and injured two people. Instead, wooden racks are set up in place for the joss papers to be hung while a period of conservation is imposed to help these trees recover and flourish.

Lam Tsuen Valley is a valley in the New Territories, Hong Kong. The valley is located west of Tai Po. It is where Lam Tsuen and many other villages are situated. Aside from the trees, another place in Lam Tsuen is highly recomended, it is "Fong Ma Po Public Toilet", the toilet obtained an Excellent Award in Hong Kong.

This toilet obtained an Excellent award from Hong Kong Government, it is spotlessly clean compared to other public toilets. In additon, some plants and beautiful flowers are placed in the toilet. It is impossible but is true at there, the toilet is aromatic, is not niffy, my nephew was enchanted with the aromatic smell of flowers and attracted by its feature.
