Hi, so it's my new blog.Been so long i didn't post any articles on my old blog.So I decided to just make a new one,,and here we go!
This year I have long holidays,4 days off,haha as it comes together with Chinese New Year 2015, Goat Year.It's started from 19th to 23th February.And also my birthday was on 20th February,so I called this a long birthday holidays.I couldn't sleep the night before my first hike, I was just too excited, I guess!I planned to go in the early morning,but I fell asleep around 4am.Haha,so yeah,,I woke up a bit later than my planning.Lion Rock Hill, that will be my first destination.
Lion Rock, or Lion Rock Hill, is a hill in Hong Kong,located between Kowloon Tong in Kowloon and Tai Wai in the New Territories,and is 495 metres high (1624 feet).
So my journey was began from Wong Tai Sin,exit B3,it was quite easy actually, as I only needed to walk along Shatin Pass Road,but it was a bit tricky to find the starting point.And also,heyy,,don't be afraid of monkeys!!!!
I was so excited,then i wanted to take picture of the first monkey that I saw that day!That's why I called him to come to me,so I could take a good picture of him.But then,he really came and almost grabbed my phone.Lucky there were few men were standing near the temple, they made noise to distract that monkey from me.And yeah,he walked away from me.But I didn't wanna miss my chance to take a close up picture,so I moved my hand,and OMG!!!He came again,showing me his teeth!!Those men helped me again!Whoaahhh,,so I advise you all,if you wanna go there,just ignoring the monkeys!Don't stay too close with them, don't feed them, as they could bite you,and they might have rabies!!!Don't be afraid,just be careful:)ok???
After you reached the first peak, you still need to continue the journey.It may look like the trail stop,but it doesn't,so just keep going.Be careful on the way down as it can be slippery.And you will climb the next peak,yayyyy!!!
Yup,,haha you almost there!!!just keep going:)
Can you see!!It was just so mind-blowing!Feeling like I'm a super woman,lol!*I believe I can fly!!!!*hahaha.But I advise you not to do the stupid things here,like take selfie with extreme pose:p.
The first peak,seen from Lion Rock.I had a good day here,was a tiring journey,as I am just a beginner,haha..But it was worthy, because the views from the peak are so beautiful and heyy, if you wanna go there, just follow this link, http://hikehongkong.blogspot.hk/2011/11/lion-rock.html
As I also got my directions from there.Pretty easy, clear, and yeah,,,happy hiking!!!!!
