| Little Hawaii is surrounded by a lot of slippery slopes and boulders |
A local Chinese woman was rescued at about 2pm today at “Little Hawaii
Falls” in Tseung Kwan O after she fell into the water while apparently taking
selfies.
Police who responded to a call for help after the woman went
missing found her on a rock under the waterfall, then took her to Tseung Kwan
O Hospital.
“She was in conscious state when taken to the hospital,”
said a spokesperson for the police.
She confirmed reports that the woman was apparently taking
pictures of herself when she fell into the water.
Friends of the victim called the police when they
couldn’t find her after the fall.

The accident happened three months after a Nepalese woman
drowned in the stream beside Tso Kung Waterfall in Tsuen Wan in mysterious
circumstances.
The Filipina friend of the victim raised the alarm on Jul 24
after the Nepali disappeared just minutes after they had played together in the
water. The victim was declared dead on arrival at Yan Chai Hospital.
In April 2019, a Filipina working as a call center agent
also fell 15 meters down a waterfall in Tai Mo Shan Country Park while
reportedly taking a selfie. Paramedics gave her first aid at the scene but was
declared dead on arrival at Tuen
Mun Hospital.
All three waterfalls are popular among Filipina domestic
workers who love to hike as they are easily accessible.
