    《 Compassionate  Kuan Yin  Bodhisattva 》, painted by dawnxisoul393 These days, we can't go far because there is a typhoon in Guangdong near Hong Kong, which affects Hong Kong. Hong Kong often has strong winds, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. For a long time, we have wanted to take our daughter to the Qiang Shan Kuan Yin Temple on Lantau Island to pay homage to the Goddess of Mercy and to sketch. Since Qiang Shan Kuan Yin Temple is not far from Mui Wo, we took the opportunity to go there. However, the Kuan Yin Temple in Qiang Shan has been closed recently, so we could only take our daughter to see how it looks like and explain to her about Kuan Yin Temple and Kuan Yin Bodhisattva. She is still very young and it is still hard for her to understand many life lessons. One day, when she grows up, we hope she can read our words here. We took a bus from the Mui Wo ferry terminal to the bus stop near Kuan Yin Temple. After getting off the bus and walking forwar...

《 Ocean - Discovery Bay - Horse - Tolerant Mind》,  Painted by  D awnxisoul393 Hong Kong's Lantau Island, in the shape of a leisurely horse, has created its graceful and gorgeous coastline. Discovery Bay Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The coastline here is winding, and the mountains on the shore are towering. The streets of Discovery Bay are clean and lush with flowers and trees. The spacious avenues are lined with beautiful Bauhinia trees. Discovery Bay is a dreamland. When you are there, she is not very real, after you leave, she becomes lifelike. The beauty of Discovery Bay can capture the hearts of every resident and passer-by, leaving a deep brand in their hearts. Private cars are not allowed to use and pass inside Discovery Bay. Golf carts and buses are used instead. There are many picturesque buildings and building facilities scattered in the original natural environment, and one of the most beautiful building facilitie...

  《 A "Town of Nations" - Discovery Bay》, painted by dawnxisoul393 Today, we finally realized our long-time idea of bringing our daughter little Dawnxi back to Discovery Bay to paint. Little Dawnxi painted Koi and lotus full of childlike innocence in Discovery Bay ... Discovery Bay is located in a coastal area in the northeastern part of Lantau Island, overlooking Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005. Surrounded by hills, Discovery Bay covers a total area of about 650 hectares. At present, the overall plot ratio of Discovery Bay is only 0.15, and the greening area accounts for 2 / 3 of the total area. When construction started in 1977, Discovery Bay was still deserted and only accessible from boats. With the construction of the Hong Kong Airport next to Discovery Bay in the 1990s, the number of people living in Discovery Bay increased dramatically.

  《 Eagle Playing with Horse》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 Living on the land of Hong Kong and painting all kinds of scenes and scenery on the coast of Hong Kong, we are like two folk painters who travel through the coastal towns and beaches of Hong Kong, carrying painting tools on our backs, wandering around and painting everywhere. Although we have moved our home in Hong Kong from time to time, the location was always on the coast or not far from it. When we lived in Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, it was no exception. When we stayed at the beach, besides painting, reading, or writing, we were always observing the changes and movements of the sea and sea birds. The mysterious scenery of the sea was so fascinating, the sea brought us a lot of imagination and a lot of longing. We loved to watch the sunrise at sea, so we often got up very early. We often arrived at the shore before the sun rose, sitting on a huge reef on the beach and quietly waiting for the sunrise. Illustrated by dawn...

   《 Big Buddha in the sunset》, painted by dawnxisoul393 The world's tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha (First part) -  Tian Tan Buddha & Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong That morning, as planned, we and our daughter Dawnxi went on a pilgrimage and sketching and painting at the Po Lin Monastery in Ngong Ping. We took a bus from Mui Wo Centre straight to Ngong Ping. The bus stopped a few times for the first few kilometers out of the station to pick up a few scattered passengers and then drove all the way into the mountains. The windows were full of greenery and we were so happy to be close to nature that we were busy enjoying the scenery outside the windows. The mountain was getting steeper and steeper, the road was narrow and rugged, and many places are barely enough for two cars to meet. The bus coiled up the mountain, the driver sped along the narrow mountain road with ease. Soon saw the road was separated from half of the road in the repair, set up te...
