And actually, even in those years when I've gone hiking in the warmer along with cooler months, there are certain trails that I'd not consider going on when the temperature and humidity are on the high side. Among these is Stage 3 of the Wilson Trail -- whose 9.3 kilometer length shouldn't be scoffed at, and more so when one also takes into account its routing taking those who go along it up to the top (or near enough) of not one but three Kowloon peaks!
This section of the Wilson Trail is notable for passing
through scenic parts of the Hong Kong countryside that
actually aren't designated areas within the country parks...
Something else noteworthy is the expansive views one gets
while going along it of the very large Junk Bay Chinese
Permanent Cemetery located on the eastern side of Devil's Peak
It's hard to avoid having to go up at least one hill
when out hiking in Hong Kong...
...and it's true enough that what (and who) goes up,
will have to come down at some point!
One of those scenic views that makes the effort that goes
into hiking feel very worthwhile indeed :)
How many Hong Kong hills have been quarried for
their stone or levelled in the name of development?
are no more and feel sad that this is so
Hopefully these farmed lands are still around as I do
think that their existence adds to Hong Kong's charm...
