Tango in Taipo: Double header for some local eat
It is official: Chaxiubao is a woefully difficult food blog when it comes to Hong Kong Eat advices. In the way it always suggests place that's not brought up in travel guides. Take the place Taipo for instance. You won't see it featured in one of those "Hong Kong in 3 days" itineraries. Chances are, seeing this place even get listed in a "Hong Kong in 3 weeks" lowlight is fairly remote. Wait, "Taipo, does it in any way has any connection to my favorite Kung Pao Chicken?" Novel but nada. Like, Jacky Chen is not Jack Nicholson Jr., nor Chow Yun Fat the first one in history to make chowder soup, no matter how their names sound alike...
The town office of Taipo boasts a railway museum as its major tourist attraction. Therein, forlornly reside a dusty locomotive and a coach in this atom of a museum, showing you all the railway relics from the olde worlde of Hong Kong...
Oh, phu-ease.
I take that as epicful and eventful as a Venetian touting a kettleful of sewage water in Venice. What people ask for this? The tourism board also yaps a tree in a far-off village by which people referred to as the "Wishing Tree." Most villigy people believe wishes could be made come true if they can let their paper charms catch the branches or twigs up high; the higher, the more auspicious. But one bit most touring pamphlets forgot to mention is that the miraculous tree pretty much deceased two years back because all the flying charms and discs from the exuberant crowds were too heavy for its withering trunk and branches. Thence, reality set back in for some conservation -- no more wishful throwing and phishing allowed these days for the lovely wishing tree. With now hardly anything left to see in Taipo, why bother? Why, for a place apart with such travel-unfriendliness and nothingness?
