I have been living in the neighbourhoods of Beacon Hill ever since I was 6, and it ironically took me a decade or more to realise that I could grasp the best views of my city within a 40 minutes’ hike.  And here's Kwun Tong, which usually served as an industrial district back in the 70s. Now it has gradually developed into the homes of many. Rumours says that it has the same population as the entire Iceland. See how many window sills are there clustered within one photo? That's roughly the same number of families you'll get. I've lost count by the way.

And this is where I grow up - Kowloon Tong. Probably sums up every single piece of "landmark" that I have spent my entire life on. At the bottom is a shopping complex that I would used to spend my weekends with family. Adjacent to it would be the East rail line that connects the Kowloon District with the New Territories. I was never a heavy user for that rail until I got into University. Out in the distance on the left is my college, where I spent 12 years in a boys' school to learn about friendship, brotherhood and mischief. And somewhere in the bottom middle is my grandfather's place. I would say it is the best place to visit on a hot lazy afternoon.
