    Reflexology Hong Kong-style and a visit to the waterfront

    ByEileen Ogintz January 10, 2012July 16, 2021

    We stroll out on historic Blake Pier –the roof is more than a century old and was moved here in 2004–and watch the bobbing rowboats, the traditional Chinese Junk that serves as a harbor cruise and the wind surfers out on a Sunday.
