Hong Kongers do like a moan. From the serious, annual marches in support of full democracy for Hong Kong, to the less weighty complaints of readers annoyed at naked pictures of Canto-pop celebrities in the local press, Hong Kongers aren’t afraid to pick up a placard, make a beeline for the Legco building and shout their views about.

Now, in the finest tradition of the city’s protests, a group of locals has set up the Hong Kong complaints choir. Inspired by the original moaning choir, the Birmingham Complaints Choir, the group is putting the city’s many complaints into song, penning lyrical grumbles to pollution, taxes and other, more topical complaints, such as unemployment. The choir has already given its inaugural concert, joining Hong Kong’s July 1st Democracy marchers to demand full democracy for the city.

You can catch the choir in action, and other city choirs, over on Youtube, or look out for them at the next Hong Kong demonstration.

Meteorologists and other people with a crystal ball view of the weather are predicting Hong Kong will be hit by typhoon weather late Sunday night, early Monday, as a typhoon brushes the city. They’re not predicting a direct hit. The severe weather is currently a tropical storm but is expected to intensify to typhoon level over the coming hours.

There are not currently any typhoon warnings in place, but if you’re travelling to or from the city on Sunday or planning an excursion late Monday, you should keep an eye on the weather. We’ll post updates as they come in.

Taking snaps of rock formations might sound about as interesting as cleaning the lint out from your tumble dryer, but Hong Kong does boast some jaw dropping natural rock shapes. The most famous is Amah Rock, a 15m high formation that looks like a woman bearing a child.

Known as Mong Fu Shek in Chinese, which translates as the somewhat unromantic “rock gazing out for husband”, legend has it that the stone is that of a wife who scrambled through the forest and up the hills of Sha Tin each day trying to watch for the return of her Fisherman husband, not knowing he had drowned at sea. To reward the wife’s loyalty, the Goddess of the Sea struck the women in stone allowing her spirit to join her husbands and leaving her statue to watch over the bay’s fishermen. It’s also Hong Kong’s only entry for the New Seven Wonders of the World competition and while it’s hardly a match for Mount Everest or Wadi Rum, also listed in the competition, it is an impressive sight.

The rock is well placed along a number of hiking trails and offers breathtaking views over both Sha Tin and the South China Sea. Amah Rock is in Lion Rock Country Park, another famous rock formation, and the Park management has some suggestions on hikes and transport to see both the rock and the region.
