Hiking to a Remote Monastery in RURAL Hong Kong | Hong Kong Travel Vlog #4

We visit the New Territories in Hong Kong, making our way to Tuen Mun to visit the Tsing Shan Monastery, which was featured in Bruce Lee's film Enter the Dragon. We also take a taxi up to Victoria Peak and view the city lights, and some landmarks features in Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

When AA covers another city or country, it's worth watching. Hong Kong looks amazing, authentically dingy and full of character and interesting smells I imagine

[@kezbot2]

The New Territories are definitely worth the trip, food is very much cheaper there. Victoria Peak is absolutely stunning, I've seen it twice - at night and day time. Yes, numerous lemon teas and Pocari Sweat are required per day in the summer humidity. Bacardi not recommended until fully hydrated though 😅

[@AdventureArchives]

The New Territories were definitely really cool to explore, I would love to see more of them next time. Hopefully in the future we can hike up in the mountains and see the views from there. Haha, and definitely would prefer the dong ling cha to the Bacardi. Thanks for watching!

[@jacksmonkey4345]

this is so cool, thank you for sharing Andrew. my last visit to my birth city was in 11/2019, in the midst of the protest. from where i stayed in Wan Chai, i can talk to the peak in 2 hrs. I filmed maybe the most amazing sunrise ever before i left. Cheers!

[@terrigabriel582]

Your a Natural, This was so Enjoyable 🩷

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you!

[@busydadscooking001]

I've never been anywhere that combined urban city life cheek by cheek with massive nature access. It's really unique and I think the hills help (hard to build on em!).

[@AdventureArchives]

Definitely! it is really unique and beautiful :)

[@euterpe55]

This entire series of videos has been wonderful and so informative! Thank you, Andrew.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!

[@ervinslens]

What a spectacular presentation my friend. Shots and your storytelling is unmatched! Absolutely unmatched!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

[@sbanovich]

Loved this! I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan and Enter the Dragon is my favorite movie of his...I was reciting the scene at that monestary with you 😂 Some day I'd like to see all of the places you were at, but until then I'll live vicariously though you 😄

[@beed9643]

Yay! I am so enjoying your travels. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@wendysuperfan1014]

thanks Andrew

[@heatherchannelgetoutside]

loved it!

[@williambeck6364]

Sensational video Andrew! I'm enjoying the Hong Kong tour, and the camaraderie of your tour group. Great job filming and editing!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it :)

[@indirac.4010]

Sorry Andrew I wont want to visit Hong Kong. Andrew was sweating all the time and he has to film. I didnt expect that the place would be so humid. I enjoyed watching the otherwise beautiful country through your visit.

[@AdventureArchives]

I think the weather is much nicer during the winter time, haha. We went at the hottest time of year, but i believe it's pretty moderate during December. Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@campergirl3524]

Love it ❤

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you!

[@vickiwalker3486]

Always great!!

[@WannaKamaka]

I couldn’t handle that humidity!! Andrew is a hiker. So watching him struggle up that incline shows how humid and hot it is in HK.

[@AdventureArchives]

It would definitely be much more comfortable in the winter! haha

[@nelsonpun]

Next time yall r in LA go to a hong kong cafe in san gabriel. I recommend delicious corner. The HK lemon tea and milk teas have free refills here

[@AdventureArchives]

Sounds amazing, thanks for the tip!

[@Sterlthepearl6960]

Awesome! Thank you Andrew!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you for watching!

[@RedStickHistorian]

This has been a wonderful series, very interesting and entertaining.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@lionzoo71]

Great video! One of the more interesting parts of my Hong Kong experience is that I realized pretty quickly I got better service speaking English than I did speaking Mandarin.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Interesting, good to know haha

[@ferdiemontenegro5436]

Simply AMAZING! I enjoyed it very much. All of you guys made me chuckle a couple of times. Loved everything from the Buddhist temple hike to the late night Dim Sum. But my personal favorite was the night view of the entire city, it looked so futuristic. It kinda reminded me of Aku City from Samurai Jack. Anyways, very cool blog, looking forward to the next!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video, and the night view was definitely really awesome to see from up there. Thanks again!

[@irmaabenes4023]

Love this video. ❤

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you!

[@irmaabenes4023]

@@AdventureArchives watching it again.

[@HingLaw]

“Longan” (depending on the transliteration) means “Dragon Eye” in Chinese. The tree is very popular and widely grown for fruits in southern China known as Lingnan region. Those around that Castle Peak monastery should be of a different cultivar from those in farms around Southeast Asia countries such as Thailand. Longan available in the U.S. could more be, speculatively speaking, along the lineage of the Thai cultivars.

[@AdventureArchives]

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I would be it's a different cultivar, as it didn't taste nearly as sweet as the kinds you'd find in the store. It was still really cool finding them though. Thanks for watching!

[@Sterlthepearl6960]

Happy Birthday Bruce Lee!🎊

[@SuperHappyAmazingFunTime]

Amazing city views!

[@morikitakurou2471]

What a wonderful plan🙏 Amazing Hong Kong videos😆

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much!

[@stephenwarrington9719]

Hong kong looks so dope!

[@AdventureArchives]

It was really awesome! Thanks for watching :)

[@mikimilostnic2366]

Great vid man! So happy to have discovered your channel, thank you KFG, it's amazing! ☺️ what camera did you use on this trip?

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you for checking out our channel! Glad you liked the video, and be sure to catch the others! I used a Sony a7S iii for this trip :)

[@maryannknox7158]

Amazing 🤩 Andrew

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you!!

[@alisonbrandt5901]

First time I have EVER seen Tuen Mun in a travel vlog on Hong Kong!

[@jb0258jr]

The "man of the sea" joke had me rolling 😂 I'm definitely stealing that one

[@Lukke46]

Today’s my last day in Hong Kong after spending a week here! A bit sad I didn’t get the chance to watch this before leaving but now I at least know how to spend my time waiting for my plane to Germany ❤️

[@AdventureArchives]

Hope you had a good time, and I hope you enjoy the vlogs! There will be a few more vlogs before the HK series finishes up as well :)

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Hong kong is such a cool place to visit 😊😊😊

[@AdventureArchives]

It really is! Thanks for watching :)

[@saladsnake7911]

I really dig that white collarless shirt you wore. where can I find it?

[@AdventureArchives]

That was a shirt they gave us at the Martial Club from the previous vlog. In a future vlog, I'll also be wearing this Lee Kung Man shirt which has similar shirts, but unfortunately I haven't seen them for sale online

[@vecheeso]

okay but when do we get the Unrated Edition of Adventure Archives 😂

[@HingLaw]

A Hong Kong adage about that pavilion near the Peak Tram Terminal: Looking down from there are loads of suckers ...

[@lindastamp3448]

What a trip!

[@AdventureArchives]

It was pretty incredible!

[@MaxWithTheSax]

Hong Kong looks like a interesting place but seeing how much you are sweating makes me think it's probably not for me

[@AdventureArchives]

I believe it's *much* more comfortable in the winter time, haha. Thanks for watching!

[@laurabooth6047]

Wow what a view you are hot 😅 the lights looked great too

[@jadasakura]

How did I take 3 years of Chinese and never know Hong Kong had so much nature

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Sweet Corgi.

[@RedStickHistorian]

That was the fluffiest Corgi I've ever seen, he was beautiful.

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha@@RedStickHistorian

[@geniebeats9309]

As a cannabis user (with mild Asthma) I find myself still passing or walking faster/longer than all my friends 😂

[@georgecorreia5314]

Iam one with the water

[@ThisSentenceIsFalse]

All my shirts would be covered in salt rings over there.

[@edtomorrow]

Bruv, I hope you’ve been drinking water that whole time. 🙏

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha I was definitely doing my best to stay hydrated

[@waleed149]

10:55 family friendly channel's rules violation 😅

[@JoePesty]

Andrew, you should go out with the girl from NY

[@indirac.4010]

I wonder if the humidity and warmth is related to global warming as a result of the air pollution

[@AdventureArchives]

It could be making it warmer, though it is in a tropical area so hot and wet weather isn't too out of the ordinary there :)

[@frankh.5378]

Why are you glorifying country ruled by ccp now?

[@Sterlthepearl6960]

I think its more about the land and structure not the government lol

[@SaxonTerror]

Have you guys ever thought about hiking parts of the Oregon trail?

[@AdventureArchives]

That'd be cool! I think we'd want to find a section of it that would be backpackable. Do you know of any parts?
