After spending crawling out Cheung Po Tsai Cave, also feeling, sensing this one of the caves that he hid his portion of the fortune in beside hiding the rest, also carrying another portion among with him to Peking after when he receiving, gracefully accepting an appointment with the Qing Dynasty Government in protecting the naval waters of the South China Sea, in which still his turf, but it was a bold move to protect his interest also theirs …..

After walking down the hill, heading towards the corner community store that waits for some refreshments… resting in looking at the Cheung Chau’s shoreline in looking how each shoreline would’ve given him the very strategic advantage of using the natural environments.. Has the Cheung Chau’s hill side coastal side… walking down the coastal line from Cheung Po Tsai Cave.. Down towards the Coastal walk way find that sitting bench where Wong Tai Mui- Grace Chan and Cheung Po Tsai- Tony Huang sat as both were catching up, also how and wondering where did all his treasures in that cave all go after visiting the cave with Wong Tai Mui…

Having walking downwards to the Cheung Chau Pier, noticing that the local community was getting ready for the Dragon Boat races, as they marked out the pontoons platforms as they began lowering their boats from the crane from the walkway, one by one… in getting ready for some training., in which is called the Tuen Ng Festival. In which there Dragon boat races sits this year on 30^th May 2017, in between ten in the morning towards four and half in the afternoon Hong Kong Time, where the Cheung Chau Typhoon Shelter is.. In where in Hong Kong there are least ten Dragon Boat races that going around the month of May…

The Origin of the Dragon boat race dates back least two thousand years ago.. in where one case there was a Chinese Poet – Qu Yaun.. Whom drown himself in the Mi Luo River…. In which the local people try to search and rescue him but to no avail so during the search and rescue the villages went on beating drums on the race to find him, then started to drop food in the river to divert the attention of fishes eating his body in which one food item is rice dumplings- sticky rice- wrapped in lotus or banana leaves, in which the leaves gives it additional aromic flavour..

Walking back down towards the Cheung Chau Pier among this section of the waterfront from the Cheung Po Tsasi’s cave… has a stretch of storages of various aged to new Dragon boats, some dated in which you could tell by the worn conditions of the boat also the Dragon head’s worn paint also there wear and tear… as I walk down, Dragon boat racing is far more intense than watching Rugby or soccer.. it has history.. a massive long history.. Orthough China co-invented Soccer among with the Persians back in the Tang Dynasty days between 618 to 907 AD..

Don’t’ move I’m a Hong Kong Police officer.. Wait you’re Cheung Po Tsai..?!… Also I really need to go back to 2015 Hong Kong.. !!!! ” Hong Kong Police Constable Wong Tai Mui- Grace Chan…

As Hong Kong Police Constable Wong Tai Mui- Grace Chan was investigating into a lead clue into a Cave in which turned out to be a cave, Treasure Cave of the South China Pirate King Cheung Po Tsai, Whom owned patrolled the South China Seas for any loot that he could find among from Qing Dynasty naval, British, Spanish, ships.. Among that scene Wong Tai Mui found a gold bullion coin, within the cave as she searched for any clues in relating to the Bandit king, as she mysteriously stumbles apond it…

Cheung Po Tsai Cave as I walked up the forestry pathway that’s leading it up to which is a good twenty minute striding walk through some under past of trees, with vines.. In which being on a watch full eye of any snakes in lurking along the tree branches in which, as the journey begin toward his cave it’s best to prepare for the journey.. One a very strong torch comes to mine… In which the journey starts with a Qing Dynasty inspired gateway explaining the entrance towards the Cave…. In walking up, the surrounding forest leading up towards the cave, in which you can feel you’re back in 1790 Hong Kong, or in 1790 Cheung Chau island as with the all that history, as you can hear through the wind that carrying the air into the bushes.. Like hearing the wind carrying pushing the sails of the sailing ships of Cheung Po Tsai fleet as it prepares to set out for the long haul traveling awaits them in meeting up with Qing Dynasty Navy in an interesting manner of exchanging requisitions…

As walking up, looking admiring the surroundings, walking alongside the track, there are some interesting items along the way first is the abandon look out post looking out into the harbour, in which is surrounded by an overgrowth of bushes.. In which looking at it seeming it dates back towards the circa 1930 to 1940’s’s in which looking at seeming the period of architecture in which back then it from that vantage point it must had some impressive views back then as time forwards on another viewing platform is establish higher leading inwards towards the Cheung Po Tsai’s Cave.. In which its views from the three level towers encompassing the whole hill throughout towering trees… However the older platform requires much need tender love and attention as its view is rummage with overgrowth of bushes hindering its view also its walls is unfortunate of tagging or Graffiti something that’s rarely seen in Hong Kong..

As walking towards the cave, there are, some intriguing, things there’s this interesting stone work wall, seeming abandoned as padlock gated steel frame rusty door, is padlock with Chinese Traditional padlock also Chinese stonework’s… Judging from it its remains untouched for many several decades, seeming decades ago, like from the 1930’s judging from its pre-world war two design…

As I walked up, hill there’s this green signage describing the history briefly of the Cheung Po Tsai’s Cave. Also realizing that I’m standing on same filming spot in where Grace Chan stood on as she begins to investigate into what’s the Bandit King really up to this time… from that point the trek goes into further more into a five minutes’ walk, until I’ve reached towards the entrance of the cave..

Having reaching towards the Cave it seems unlike the Television series version of it in which is larger than the inside in which saying that having TARDIS moments… you may wonder there’s a small shop outside of the cave in which sell an assortment of things, in that assortment is torches in which I’ve mention earlier in making sure having a very good strong torch that illuminates, even illuminates daylight.. Sizes wise the cave is small and narrow in which to fit luckily to for me my dress size is in between eight and ten, in which is a good thing..

Having the correct dress size in going into the narrow cave, in I lower myself down into a very darken cavern, stepping downwards into an almost lit downwards spotlighting in the cave in which gives you amount of time to get my torch in well lighting up the cave neatly.. as before I entered there was a memorable moment when I found a father with his two children, telling the stories of the cave also its owner Cheung Po Tsai. As I continue like Wong Tai Mui-Grace Chan exploring the cave, within it, seeing it first-hand it was sort of disappointing at first, due to the moderate amount of litter that was present in the cave, exploring it for a good seven or more meters down the tunnel in which lead to another opening.. as exploring around the tunnel Cheung Po Tsai treasure Haul must have been a modest size in nature, but given the surrounding stories of his treasure it could been in another place on the same hill, saved like an insurance policy for just in case, or seeming he taken it with him in Peking when got offered the Qing Dynasty Government Naval Marshall’s position in protecting his and their interest at the same time..

There once was a recently produced Hong Kong TVB television series tittle “Captain of Density” in which features a time travelling premise in which a female Hong Kong police officer Wong Tai Mui played by TVB Actress also Miss Hong Kong Grace Chan, was in pursue of a certain criminal in which leading her into Hong Kong’s 19^th century Qing Dynasty past, adventuring that she eventually met her partner in which is the pirate King Cheung Po Tsai.. In which the location of the television was set in was set in an off Hong Kong off shore Island that’s island is named Cheung Chau….

Cheung Chau, is ten kilometers southwest away from Hong Kong Island, basically now it’s a fishing village township, in which once was the ancient capital for Hong Kong in which the Pirate King ruled his kingdom also his the South China Sea… Getting to Cheung Chau, in which you have First Ferry two modes the traditional ferry or the Fast Ferry in which takes relatively least that one hour over a ten kilometer distance… one is the ordinary ferry ticket, the traditional way, the other is the Hydro foil Ferry – The Fast Ferry Service ticket both services can be used from your Octopus Card or pay the fair at the terminal station, in turn it’s best to utilized your Octopus Card in which it can be used everywhere but make sure you have it always topped up for the week for just in case..

Using the first Ferry services from Pier Five in which you’ll select which mode of services that you’ll like to travel. In which chosen the fast ferry Service in which the taken journey time to get there at an averagely of one hour… having to arrive there It was just waiting for the ferry to arrive, in way on that morning.. In expecting to be there in the moderate hours during lunchtime… As you plan to go to Cheung Chau it’s best to travel in the modest hours in the morning so you capture every moment of it within one day exploring around the island as it’s extremely walkable around the neighborhoods..

Having boarded the journey was great slightly least choppy seas, looking outwardly windowly, looking back at the view of Hong Kong Island through a slightly white tint ferry window, looking how much progress innovatively Hong Kong has become from looking out having a window seating is always scenically brilliant capturing the moments of exploring , in that journey, travelling watching how heavily shipping traffic is intensive heavy Hong Kong harbour, as each cargo ship on a holding pattern readily awaiting for berthing to off and on load cargo for the next journey round as Hong Kong Harbour is one of the busiest ports hubs out of ten on Earth next to Guangzhou, Shanghai…..

Having a middle seating does have its advantages given that you don’t’ want to go through the motions of sea sickness… but however sleeping through the ferry ride does help… or in from of the ship’s passenger cabins which have interesting seemingly have two large flat screen television with full very useful information about the destination also thinking what to see, what to do on the island, one is to sample the local food, the eateries, Cheung Po Tsai Cave in which is supposed to keep his treasures stored in like a retirement fund building for himself, the local scenes, the neighbourhood, streets, alley ways..
