Lei Yue Mun, Hong Kong (98 words)
Lei Yue Mun is one of the few fishing villages to have survived the steady growth and expansion of Hong Kong.
Since Lei Yue Mun lies beyond the old Kai Tak airport at the southern tip of Kowloon, beyond the reach of the MTR system and other public transport, it is best to go there by taxi.
