Rather than go on the Ngong Ping 360 Rescue Trail that day, however, we opted to partly go along the Nei Lak Shan Country Trail to Tung Shan Fat Mun (i.e., East Mountain Dharma Door/Gate) and then down to the village of Shek Mun Kap via Tei Tong Tsai. And suffice to say that this route was a good deal easier -- and consequently offered up more opportunities to generally take in all manner of sights -- compared to Sunday! ;b
One of the more beautiful lantana blooms I've seen
I love the black and white patterning on this butterfly's
body as well as its wings
View of the Big Buddha and
a partly mist covered Lantau Peak
View of parts of the trail I hiked last Sunday! :b
So many people visit the Big Buddha but so few venture just
a kilometer or so away into the surrounding green countryside
A flowering plant that looks more exotic to me
than the much more commonly seen lantana
A small spider in the middle of the large as well
as complex web it had woven
A larger spider hanging from its own
less intricate but still also beautiful web
To be continued (and yes, I did spot some more bugs along this hike... ;b)!

Lots of great photos, as always! But I am particularly taken with the last spiderweb photo. I don't ever recall seeing a spider web with a grid pattern like that! It looks like a fishing net.
You had to include spiders!
Hi Alejna --
I see my share of that kind of spider web but the spider on it in that photo is what I find unusual as in Hong Kong, I'm more likely to find golden orb weaver spiders:-
