About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life Exprience

ABOUT ME

I'm an urban designer and working in Abu Dhabi. I move to Abu Dhabi as I would like to gain overseas working as well as living experience. I cannot live without friends, let's grape for a drink!

HONG KONG (My hometown)
Hong Kong is a complicated city we have lots of urban elements, street market, shopping malls, Chinese and western historical buildings

HK people love working, they don't have to sleep

We have a wonderful harbor (a river now), we have many stupid, tall and huge residential towers which is 7 millions people's home, crazy light show at 8:00 entertains thousand tourists everyday

Patient Hong Kongnese with long long queue everywhere, dolphins still swimming in HK dirty harbor, amazing country parks cover 70% HK's land.

A 15 Minutes City.... Hong Kong is a tiny place but full of imaginations. I'm a forever tourist in HK, everything in HK is fresh to me...that is my home!!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to appreciate and treasure everything in your country. Try to enjoy the wind, the sunshine, the rain, the birds in the sky, the clouds, the colors, the air even though it is polluted... you cannot find it elsewhere... they are unique

Try to be honest to everyone, so you must guarantee to get good friends
