I have heard of it before but have never seen it. To late for me now but my wife would be all over it like a monkey on a stick. Just like these guys. When we go to the Great Smokey Mountains she has to climb to the top of at least one mountain. I remember one time we were climbing one to see a waterfall on the top. I told her not to wait for me to go on ahead and I would catch up. There were 3 old ladies that were following us and I was thinking that surely I could beat them to the top. At about the half-way mark the 3 old ladies passed me. We exchanged pleasantries and I looked around and there the wife had already been to the top and come halfway back down.

More on neon - from Goldthread on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/goldthread2/videos/2376232226032650/

The LED signs must be VERY cheap - you see them everywhere these days, but usually much smaller than the neon signs were.

 
The People Saving Hong Kong’s Neon Lights
Quote
Introduced in the 1920s, neon signs quickly became emblematic of Hong Kong, gracing every street corner of this dense city.
But nowadays, most of them have been replaced by cheaper and more energy-efficient LEDs. In the past two decades, up to 90% of neon signs have disappeared from Hong Kong.

We met a group of people who remain determined to preserve neon signs and revive the dying industry

Camping on Hong Kong's Tap Mun, also known as Grass Island
from the SCMP 

Volunteers send food to keep wild cows alive on Hong Kong’s desolate Tap Mun

Quote

Tap Mun, also known as Grass Island, is in the northeastern part of Hong Kong’s New Territories, near Sai Kung. It’s also home to some 20 feral bovine – including brown cattle and water buffalo, which were left behind with the decline of farming in the 1970s. The inability of Hongkongers to travel overseas during the Covid-19 pandemic has sparked a sharp increase in visitor numbers to places like Tap Mun, speeding up desertification on the 1.69 sq km (0.65 square mile) island. Lantau Buffalo Association’s Ho Loy helps send grass to the island, hoping to keep the animals alive.

Jin Island or Tiu Chung Chau (吊鐘洲) is an island in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, located in Port Shelter. It is under the administration of Sai Kung District.
The best-known sea cave in Jin Island is Kam Chung Ngam (金鐘岩), commonly known as Goldfish Wagging Tail (金魚擺尾). Hikers can get a perfect shot of the fish shape from the top of the hill.
