I bought my house at Clover Lodge for the peace and quiet and for the view. I don't go up to the roof often enough but the view from up there is tranquil and brings a sense of calmness. Almost every visitors comments on this and perhaps I should go up more often to appreciate the view.
The photo above the village that borders Jade Bay. The previous owner of my house told me that there wasn't a single dwelling when she moved in twenty years ago. And the number of houses is increasing. Last afternoon, when I snapped these photos, the tide was low and some mud had appeared.
The white buildings in the center cove is the Folk Museum where Patrick Ng the poet works.
Sometimes at night, flights coming in to land at the airport appear over the hill, with lights blazing. One appears almost every minute.
More to the right in the center of the photo is the Bardbury Camp, where young people come during the weekend for recreation activities, mainly canoeing. Quite a few canoes could be seen in the photo. The two houses on the bottom right were built some years ago and remained vacant for many years. One owner has begun to fill up a stream illegally. We have complained to the Lands Department.
More to the right is a beautiful view of Jade Bay. It being a Saturday afternoon, a few boats had anchored, their owners probably partying on board or swimming in the bay. The Jockey Club golf course could be seen in the distance.
More to the right would be a glimpse of Sai Kung town, especially the lights at night.
Sai Kung is one of the few locations in Hong Kong where the nights could be starry. Then, a few hours spent on the rooftop becomes even more relaxing.
