People used to throw their orange and wishing paper the highest they can on branches,

Welcome to Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree in Hong Kong, known in chinese as 林村許願樹. Our video is shot in Ultra HD 4K, crystal clear quality, as if you are actually here.
'The Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees (Chinese: 林村許願樹; Jyutping: lam4 cyun1 heoi2 jyun6 syu6) are a popular shrine in Hong Kong located near the Tin Hau Temple in Fong Ma Po Village, Lam Tsuen. The temple was built around 1768[1] or 1771,[2] during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
The two banyan trees are frequented by tourists and locals during the Lunar New Year. Previously, they burnt joss sticks, wrote their wishes on joss paper tied to an orange, then threw them up to hang in these trees. It was believed that if the paper successfully hung onto one of the tree branches, these wishes would come true.
This practice was discouraged by the authorities after 12 February 2005, when one of the branches gave way and injured two people. Instead, wooden racks are set up in place for joss papers to be hung while a period of conservation is imposed to help these trees recover and flourish.
The Hong Kong Morris, a morris dancing team based in Hong Kong, dances at the Wishing Tree on 1 May each year to celebrate the arrival of summer.
Lam Tsuen has been a residential area since the Song Dynasty, which was about 700 years ago. The commencement of residence was believed to be in 1287 A.D.[3] Tin Hau Temple, which the wishing trees locate aside, was built during the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty. It was used as the ‘highest administrative body’ [3] in Lam Tsuen, responsible for policies and administration of the villages covered in Lam Tsuen.[3] Luk Wo Tong was made a substitute of Tin Hau Temple in 1954 by the Lam Tsuen Valley Committee. Lam Tsuen wishing tree was an ordinary camphor tree where a tablet for enshrining and worshipping Pak Kung was placed. As years passed, the branches and leaves gradually withered and eventually it became a hollow tree.[3] People started to believe that Lam Tsuen wishing tree was magical after a legend: a man whose son had had a slow learning progress made a wish to a hollow tree. After that, his son’s academic performance has shown drastic improvement. This was spread to other people and an influx of them flocking to make their wishes to the hollow tree occurred. That hollow tree therefore became renowned.[3]
There are four wishing trees in Lam Tsuen. Different trees symbolise various wishes. The first tree prays for career, academic and wealth. The second tree is for marriage and pregnancy. For the third tree, it states anything can be prayed. Yet, the fourth tree is believed to be most special. It is a fake 25-foot wishing tree made of plastic. This plastic fake wishing tree allows worshippers to throw their wishes to the tree, called “Bao Die” in Chinese.[4] A traditional “ Bao Die “ includes an orange and it ties with a yellow paper.[5] Worshippers can write their name, date of birth and wishes on the yellow paper and throw it to the wishing tree. If you can successfully throw the “Bao die” and it hangs up on the tree or its branches, the myth said your wishes can come true. However, if it drops, the legend reckoned that your wishes are too greedy. But still, if the “wishes” drop, do not give up, try more and keep throwing until you make your wishes success.[4]
Lam Tsuen holds the Hong Kong Well-Wishing Festival found in 2011, is the local characteristic Chinese New Year celebration activity which attracts hundreds of thousands local citizens and tourists from all over the world to Lam Tsuen every year.[6] Held every first and 15th of the first month in lunar calendar and locates in Village in Lam Tsuen in Tai Po, Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree Festival has become an activity in Chinese New Year. Various activities at the festival include throwing wishing placard, setting wishing lanterns to make wish, joining international float exhibition, shopping in food carnival and setting lantern light to celebrate new born babies.[6] The festival is held by the collaboration with HKSAR government and Lam Tsuen. The reporters said that the festival attracted many local citizens and visitors to visit and enjoy a series of activities. Citizens can take the bus 64K and 64P at MTR Tai Po Market Station and alight at Fong Ma Po. Also, they can take Minibus 25K and get off at Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees. Taking taxi at MTR Tai Wo Station can also arrive Lam Tsuen.[7].'

My name is Dennis. In 2009, I opened this channel to record or document this city. I know something is being changed in next decade(s), or I felt the change have began since 2003, no later in 2046. I want to, at least, save some kind of city life in video form instead of taken photo or written in words. I strongly believe that motion picture and sound recording are much better way to preserve and present in the future when young generation want to get know of Hong Kong.
In May of 2018, I wrote the following statement in below:
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting me in fulfilling my childhood dream of making videos.
My parents had always taken a tolerant attitude toward my “capricious”: whether my work is feasible and sustainable... and they never complained about it.
As my father just passed away in May, I am left with no choice but to give up my video making venture.
In Hong Kong where the cost of living is sky high, youtube video making is simply not sustainable by google adsense alone. The revenue produced is way too insufficient for affording a domestic helper, and I must look after my mom all by myself - this is why I must stay very close to her at all times.
Unless my revenue is closed to market rate, or my income can cover a domestic helper, otherwise I can hardly justify any video-related works.
Therefore, from now on everything video will be postponed in terms of year(s).
Thank you, and hope to see you all again in the future.
Reason to choose live streaming:
Because I am the only son of my mother in Hong Kong, and I have to take care of her at home. I almost give up this channel because of high consumption of time and living cost. But I found some extra time.
Live streaming will be held anytime from Monday to Saturday 9:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m HKT (GMT +8) at anywhere during my spare time. I live in Fanling, north part of New Territory, so it will include my showtime of traveling back and forth. Because of home care to my old mother, there will be no time beyond above time shown, i.e. NO NIGHT-TIME video. Again, from 9:00 to 16:00 is my bonus time when my mother is staying at the senior daycare center, so before and after that, I will NOT able to do filming.
I understand most of you are looking for high quality of video, e.g. 4K or 8K. But hardware is so important at this post-production, that is, the higher quality video, the higher powerful computer to render video. Financial is my biggest issue, I can't afford to buy an expensive hardware right now. Even previous old 2K recorded video, it wasn't easy at all, one hour video = 1.5 hours of rendering, plus uploading time. How about 1 hour 4K ? = 15 hour up......under this old computer. (please check youtube.com/user/hongkongmap/about )
In order to make it easy for me, live streaming not only save my time but also i can interact with audience, right? But I will continue to make recorded video like before, it maybe situation when signal strength is really poor.
I will continue to run this channel as long as the time is fit-on-me or I don't see any kind of video job could fit me.
I hope this is clear to everyone.

Instructions of watching my live streaming:
A) I suggest viewers should use a smaller screen to watch, it is because I am NOT using a high-end equipment to do live streaming, a simple device with simple set-up.
B) For my location, I will attach a link start with See me on Google Maps! ..... Not only given my location, but also include my local time, and battery %. This live map is only effective during on my live streaming, it will be no show after live streaming is end !
C) So the best way to watch live is by computer's screen, size enough to open 2 windows, one for live video, another one for live google map, in parallel side by side. The map will update every minute or less instead of every second I move.
【4K】Walk at Lam Tsuen, Hong Kong | Wishing Trees | Lunar New Year 2020
Walking at Lam Tsuen, in Tai Po, was already a residential area 700 years ago during the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279). Today, it still bustles with people and visitors thanks to its two ‘wishing trees’ and Tin Hau Temple.
In the past, whenever there was a festival, villagers would throw joss paper into two trees and make wishes. They believed that the higher the branch the joss paper landed on, the more likely it was the wish would come true. People from all over Hong Kong still come here in their droves to make wishes during festivals; however, as it’s not just local villagers hoping to try their luck in the trees anymore, measures have been introduced to protect the wishing trees from becoming buried in paper. Nowadays, wishes are made by tying joss paper to nearby wooden racks or imitation trees.

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
― Ernest Hemingway
Never make your home in a place.
Make a home for yourself inside your own head.
You'll find what you need to furnish it -
memory, friends you can trust, love of learning,
and other such things.
That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
