Although it has been raining on and off today, D & I managed to take a plunge at the Wong Lung Hang Stream with Happy our dog. Wong Lung Hang stream is well-known for it's unpolluted crystal clear water and today's water quality way exceeded it's reputation!! WOW! the clarity of the water really blew our mind! A pity we didn't bring our camera. Wong Lung Hang (Yellow Dragon) stream is the leader amongst the famous five dragons on Lantau Island, the others are namely the East Dragon stream, North Dragon stream, Hidden Dragon stream and Crouching Dragon stream. If the weather permits, we will trek the North Dragon stream soon as it is supposed to be the easiest compared to the rest of the four dragons. Recently, as I begin to trawl the internet for stream-trekking information, I discovered that there are SOOO many streams just on Lantau Island itself, not to mention the whole of Hongkong! I was so amazed by the information I gathered. I would love to list them all out, but then it might just bore you silly! The five dragons are just the tip of the iceberg!! I came across a stream-trekking website, their leading top member has trekked 443 streams in the whole of Hongkong, 83 of the streams are on Lantau Island. Their 2nd place member has a total of 415 streams record, with 95 streams on Lantau Island. Amazing! So many places to explore, so little time! Anyway, it was such a blessed and enjoyable day today, Happy surprised us by conquering her fear of swimming! Way to go Happy! You made us proud!

**Tropical cyclone Nangka : Strong Wind Signal No. 3 is in force now, squally showers and heavy rains at times tomorrow & rainy on Sunday too. That's the forecasted weather for this weekend. Guess there will be a lot of disappointed hikers around, let's pray for the sun to shine next week!
