by Wm. Meacham. His book mentioned this "Lover's Stone" located in Waichai, about midway on Bowens Road and, conveniently, above my hotel. I walked there by showing the picture in the book and asking people "where is this?" - five highway workers, two policeman and one jogger later, I found it.The author says that this rock is a folk shrine popular with "women seeking a husband, childless couples and old women desirous of grand children". I think it is fairly obvious what this "Lover's Stone" reminds Grandmother about. I think many of the amazing Hong Kong office buildings in the background pretty much tell the same story. In any case, it was a perfect Hong Kong day for me. Thanks for the encouragement. -Gary

This is a good tourist attraction that was initiated by the Hong Kong government. Boulders shaped like landmarks make it a must see.
Wow it would be interesting to visit that Lover's Stone in Hong Kong to check out if it is effective. Come to think of it, every place can put up a stone like that and claim that it has magical effects.
