Does anyone have any memories or observations of dugongs or mermaid folklore in Hong Kong and has anyone ever written up a comprehensive history of the 1993 Mermaid rumour in Hong Kong? Dugongs are now very rare indeed or extinct in the Pearl River Estuary.
I have an account of a 1940 Dugong/sea cow seen off Lantau and I`ve also heard of a mystery animal called the Lutung or Luting fish whose identity I would like to know.
"A friend of mine recently found some old black & white negatives in her cupboard. I transferred some of them to positives and a lot of them are of Little Sai Wan and staff. You’re most welcome to have them."
Many thanks to the above contributor (who wants to remain anonymous) for getting touch from the UK.
Here are the first few, more to follow. Apart from #4, any ideas of dates & locations? (Click any image for a larger, zoomable view). <Read more ...>
