I escaped to Lamma Island this weekend with 20 others from the Hong Kong Photography Club, an island where buildings taller than 3 storeys are prohibited, as are cars. After arriving by ferry and having lunch, we hiked the 4km from Sok Kwu Wan in the East over the ridge to Yung Shue Wan in …

How lucky we have been. We arrived in Sapa on Monday morning (after a bumpy and fairly sleepless night aboard the 9-hour train ride from Hanoi to Lao Cai) to changeable weather.
