South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “‘Fairy doors’ on Hong Kong’s Bowen Road open up woodland ‘treasure hunts’ for homebound kids” – below is their description.
Dozens of mysterious “fairy doors” have popped up along the Bowen Road Fitness Trail in Hong Kong. Made of wooden sticks, clay and recycled materials, they are hidden among the trees and woods along the 3km (2-mile) path on Hong Kong Island. The “doors” put a smile on the faces of passers-by and offer children a chance to go on a magical weekend treasure hunt at a time when so many recreational activities are closed because of the coronavirus.

In This Story: Hong Kong
Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR), is a metropolitan area and special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta of the South China Sea. With over 7.5 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the Qing Empire ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The whole territory was transferred to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of “one country, two systems”.
