now that i m back in a hong kong for a few days, i have time to update the photos, this is not all, but enough for the time being, enjoy!

I have never set foot on this small island, located at the north-eastern coast of lantau island. famous for its small island lifestyle, many temples can be found all over, the oldest is the tin hao temple, built in 1792. bicycle is the main means of transport, with no motor vehicle watsoever, there is no surprise to see little kids speeding around. o and apparently, the famous hk footballer lee kin wo lives here with his family.

Hainan island is the southernmost province of china, thus possess the most friendly weather, especially in winter, when its temperature remains at 28-30 degrees celcius during day time, which is way better than hong kong, awesome. Monkey island is where i happened to visit this time, a state-protected natural reserve for its long time habitants, the macaque monkeys, approximately 2000 of them. 

a park open for visitors, with vast number of monkeys roaming about

monkeys are observant to human activities, they tend to gather at much faster rate when spotting food

Review: *spoiler* It is long anticipated since the preceded episode: 'The storm raider' came out in 1998. Viewers with high expectations and accumulated speculations, finally get to witness the epic saga of the forever sword wielding duo, wind and cloud. A few acquaintance and friends of mine took part in production, knowing the movie is shot in a giant ware house located in thailand, under such circumstances, without doubt, i got myself two tickets at first release. 

To start off, long text of introduction, strictly for die hard fans' comprehension, after all, the story has discontinued for ten years. Both Kwok and Cheng are so well preserved as though time ceased to exist. Their physique is just as well respected as their performance, with up close explosions and lots of head to head combat. However, many motions have resolved to slow, by the end, it simply dragged. The story and dialog, lack development since the last episode, some lines are sadly, ridiculous and uncalled for. There is a part where kwok was unable to identify a chinese character graffiti, the audience simply burst to laugh and sneer; it is always distasteful when our beloved lead is intellectually challenged, let alone the viewers. Although not happy with the script and dialog, i m delighted to see great efforts put into visual arts, effects and cgi, this part, has certainly enhanced for the past ten years.

All in all, i m a little disappointed to be honest, ten years is a long wait. Although beautifully sculpted (thanks to the pang brothers), without a core or spirit, such movie will not last, this contradicts with the fact that what the movie is supposed to do.
