Look out for Fairy’s Doors

Mysterious and magical “fairy’s doors” have popped up along Sir Cecil’s Ride Stream ! This is definitely some kind of treasures hunting for kids. Seeing them each holding a list of “fairy’s doors” that could be found, seeking up and down the bushes. I don’t know who started these game, but whoever putting these doors up, they are definitely putting smiles on faces too. Thank you! 






We took the easy way to start our Sir Cecil‘sRide Stream hike. Skipping the stairs from Fortress Hill MTR station, we took the bus and get off at Braemer Hill bus stop, right across Chinese International School.  


Saw the poster of fairy’s right at the beginning. And kids got super excited about the game. 


Sir Cecil’s trail is pretty easy, but it is not paved, so I wouldn’t recommend stroller. It’s all flat thought with sands, rocks and roots kids might tripped. When you’re at the rocky bridge with the big “Tai Tam Country Park Quarry Bay Extension”, take the stairs right next to the signboard, up to the shallow pool. But if you are up for a slightly challenging route, head up to the deep pool by taking the stairs next to the shelter. Watch out for the rocks, some of them might be a little shaky. Go all the way up, you’ll be at the deep pool in no time.  




After some time at the deep pool, we retrace our steps back to the signboard, continue walking towards Quarry Bay. Follow the trails, climb the stairs if you want to enjoy the view at viewpoint. Then, just follow the trails, with lots of stairs on the way down, passing Pui Kiu Middle School, take the stairs next to Tin Hau Temple Road Resting Area which leads you to Pak Fuk Road Playground, cross the road and go further down to King’s street, where we hop on the tram. 


👦🏻👧🏻: Mommy will I see fairy? I want to see a fairy.

👩🏻: well, but fairy will lose their magic if a human see them. do you still want to see them? 

👦🏻👧🏻: oh no... it’s ok. let’s just find their doors. 

👩🏻: sounds great. perhaps we could guess which fairy stays in each doors. 


Distance: 4.95km (if you retrace back to starting point after deep pool, it’s approximately 2~km)

Duration: 3 hours because of the treasure hunt

Difficulties: ⭐️

Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️( for the waterfall at deep pool)

Balance beam 6. “A” wall  7. Spider webs  8. Barbed wire  9. A frame  10. Log jump Kids love every bits! Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m. They have been quite an active kids, of course I have no doubt in their capability to finish the challenge. However, they do surprise me with their team spirits and sharpness at taking down each obstacles.  K shows her determi...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience.  Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too.  Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories.  The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
