In a Fountain Under a Waterfall in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Park is a refreshing beautiful little oasis in Central Hong Kong. We did two scavenges there. One was to visit the former headquarters of the comander of the British Forces in Hong Kong from 1846. The house is now a tea museum. The other scavenge was to take a photo in a fountain under a waterfall. Hong Kong's steep hilly terrain allows for a dramatic waterfall dropping into the rather small urban park. Although there is a walkway under the waterfall, there is no fountain on the walkway. However, from a vantage point while posing at the bottom of the hilly park, with the waterfall in the background, it could seem that one is "under" the waterfall. We gladly took off our sweaty shoes and stood in a fountain, asking a passing tourist to take our photo in the fountain. We spent a lot of time wandering around the park to get that one, but the reward was a cool foot bath.
