hiking in lantau

hiked with stephen this sat in lantau island - we walked from discovery bay to ngong ping (where the big buddha is). for those interested, it's a 20km + walk. there's a good bit of elevation as actually we go over and back down the 2nd and 3rd highest mountains in HK, i.e. 大東山 (869m) and 鳳凰山 (934m). was just curious so i checked it, IFC in Central is 415m.

weather was a bit cloudy, which makes for kinda crappy pix, but pretty perfect for hiking. some pix here...

old barracks? in any case, they're vacation huts now.

some other hike we did, near section 7 of maclehose trail. called "scattered hair falls". (obviously the chinese "散发瀑" sounds a bit more poetic)

now, we wouldn't want this to happen...

old pic, 大東山 on a clearer day. so we pretty much went over two of these on sat!
