《 Charming Stanley Coast》, painted by dawnxisoul393 Stanley, Hong Kong - A Town where East Meets West: Today, the whole family went to The Red Pillar(Stanley)Peninsula to sketch and paint. "The Red Pillar" (Stanley)is a beautiful town located in the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island, east of "Repulse Bay" and west of "Shek O", 20 kilometers from Central.

  《 A Happy Seagull Family》 By dawnxisoul393 Hong Kong's seagulls are mainly winter migratory birds and can be easily seen on remote outlying islands and in the wetlands of bays in winter and spring. However, for some unknown reasons, it is very difficult to see seagulls in Peng Chau on weekdays. To observe and sketch seagulls, we visited many places frequented by seagulls in winter and spring.

The world of seagulls is serene and welcoming. Seagulls are like fallen leaves floating in the wind, telling of years gone by.

《 Impression of the Sea》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 Hong Kong is composed of more than 200 large and small islands and a sea area connected with the mainland. It covers an area of about 1100 square kilometers, but it has a coastline of about 360 kilometers. Therefore, the coastline is relatively long. Our beautiful Hong Kong has a complex seabed, and there is a great gap between the deep sea and the shallow sea. Ocean currents and coastal currents interact with the coastal areas of Hong Kong. Hong Kong's waters are rich in ecology and developed in fisheries. Whether living or nonliving, Hong Kong has first-class marine resources. Hong Kong has beautiful scenery, a changeable and magnificent sea. Hong Kong's coastline is like a magical book that people can never get tired of reading. In order to give our daughter an impression of the beauty of Hong Kong's coast from an early age, we took our tent, painting equipment, and some household items with our little one-year-old daught...
