HANOVER, GERMANY: A German veterinary clinic has trained sniffer dogs to detect the novel coronavirus in human saliva samples with 94% accuracy. The dogs are conditioned to scent out the corona odour that comes from cells in infected people, said Esther Schalke, a vet at Germany s armed forces school for service dogs. Filou, a 3-year-old Belgian Shepherd, and Joe Cocker, a 1-year-old Cocker Spaniel, are two of the dogs being trained at Hanover s University of Veterinary Medicine.
Lantau Peak may be famed for sunrise shots, but––as the name suggests––Sunset Peak is the place to go for epic vistas of the sun going down.
869 metres above sea level, Sunset Peak gained fame for its glorious sunset vistas, with its altitude offering an unblocked view of Lantau’s Cheung Sha, Hong Kong s longest beach. The most convenient start is from Pak Kung Au, which brutally begins with a 400-metre set of stairs, but after the initial incline, the hike isn t too strenuous with the path well-paved for the majority of the way.
If you re hiking to catch the sunset, don t forget to bring a head torch for your descent. You can either return the same way as you came or continue northeastward for Mui Wo, which will add a few hours onto your hike.
