It was an early April day when my friends and I decided to go to Mui Wo a small village on an island a little off the coast of Lantau. We had to leave really early in order to catch the bus on time to go to the island.
When we got to the island, we went to see a famous waterfall. Humorously, we found a very tiny waterfall because we forgot that it was not the rainy season and so there would not be that much water to flow from the waterfall! We did see, however, many Chinese buffalo around the fields of the people living there.
We also saw many different traditional houses and shops around the village. While it was a holiday and most of the stores were closed, we saw many different stores and buildings.
We also found a small cave while exploring. It was apparently a small cave meant to bring silver up out of the ground. However, prospectors soon realized that the silver vein was not that deep and chose to stop excavating the cave.
One of the nicest things there was the beach. While it was a little bit too cold to swim, the water was very pretty and would occasionally sweep up and the mist would cool us off.
Eventually we got lunch and started to tour the rest of the town. We saw a very friendly dog and were even able to pet him for a time. He really liked my friend Morgan and would nuzzle her forever if he could. We also saw a local bookstore and bought a couple books. The funniest thing about the bookstore was it being attached to a salon, so you could have your hair cut and find a good book at the same time!
