Day 4-5

hong kong, china

Arrival: 17:30 - Departure: 21:00

According to a report by the Hong Kong Archaeological Society, people were already settled in Tsuen Wan as far back as two thousand years ago. In earlier times it was known as Tsin Wan (淺灣), meaning “shallow bay”, and was later renamed Tsuen Wan. Another name, Tsak Wan (賊灣, Hakka pronunciation: tshet wan), meaning “pirate bay”, points to the presence of pirates in the area long ago. In fact, the area around Rambler Channel was known as Sam Pak Tsin (三百錢), literally “three hundred coins”. Local legend says that pirates would demand three hundred coins from anyone passing through. By 1911, around 3,000 villagers were living in Tsuen Wan. In the 20th century, factories gradually moved in because of its closeness to Kowloon. After Castle Peak Road was built in 1917, motor vehicles could reach the town, which previously was accessible only on foot and by boat. Regular bus services did not start until 1933. Early industries made use of the plentiful local water supply to produce incense sticks, preserved fruit and farm products, while post-war industries included metalware and textiles.

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 19:00

Keelung, officially known as Keelung City, is a major port city in the north-east of Taiwan. It borders New Taipei, and together with New Taipei and Taipei it forms the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area. Nicknamed the “Rainy Port” for its frequent rainfall and maritime role, the city is Taiwan’s second-largest seaport, after Kaohsiung. Keelung has a humid subtropical climate. It has long been known as one of the wettest and gloomiest cities in the world, an effect linked to the Kuroshio Current. Although it is one of the coolest cities in Taiwan, winters are still short and mild, while summers are long, relatively dry and hot. One of the most popular festivals in Taiwan is the mid-summer Ghost Festival. The Keelung Ghost Festival is among the oldest in Taiwan, dating back to 1851, following bitter clashes between rival clans that claimed many lives before mediators intervened.
