Sai Kung weekend: Seafood and hiking

Ended up in Sai Kung twice this weekend. Saturday night was a seafood adventure. We got off the bus and walked around looking for restaurants to eat at. Found this one place and managed to get a pretty reasonable price for an amazing dinner. Initially found out that the prices were generally high in the area following the period of Chinese New Year. Finished dinner and went around for a walk. Found their "Temple Square" where a large bamboo stage was built for a traditional Chinese Opera, which was about to start. We ran across the street to one of the three 7-11's that we saw in Sai Kung and bought some beers and went back to enjoy one of the acts in the show.
We didn't have a very Cantonese dinner group so we didn't stay at the Opera for long, but we were there long enough to admire their intricate costumes. Walked further around Sai Kung and found some of the larger restaurants with their fish tanks - the ones that you point at a lobster and get to have it steaming on your table 20 minutes later.

Successful night!

Sunday, we went out hiking! Took the 792M bus from HKUST to Sai Kung and started walking again. Went up to a peak called Pyramid Hill, which is approximately 500m elevation above sea level. A bit of an overcast day but in someways appreciated because it was quite a workout, even with no sun beating down on us!
