Creativity make things special, no matter what those things are. Beaches, apart from letting one bathe in the rays of the sun, are also places to show off one’s creative talents.

Recently hundreds of sand sculptors and holiday-makers headed to Shek O. Suddenly, the sand “gave birth” to a bear, a beast, and a castle. . . . The beach had become a place of dreams.
