Hong Kong (CNN) — Hidden away amongst the farms and hills of Tai Kong Po, a quiet village in Hong Kong's northwestern Yuen Long district, lies an unexpected destination for nature and literature lovers -- the Bei Bei Book House. From the nearest mini-bus stop, it's a short 10-minute walk. But the path has so many twists and turns that owner Teresa Lee had to put together an instructional video on how to get there for visitors. After walking through plant-covered archways and farms -- including one with a family of goats -- a homey hut appears, an unlikely site in this skyscraper-studded city. Patched together with metal panels and filled with hand-dyed fabrics, wooden furniture and planters, the eclectic Bei Bei Book House was initially a primitive retirement holiday home project Lee kicked off with her husband Ringo Tsoi about six years ago.More Related News
