Lantau's Hidden Beauty
Some scenes from the hike I did on Saturday 30 January in Lantau Island. It's the toughest yet most beautiful hike to date. No pain, no gain. :) The pain was worth it though - the views were magnificent but I didn't take that many photos as it was hard to whip my camera out as I was climbing around the various precarious slopes that dropped down a few hundred metres.
From Tung Chung station, we took Bus 11 to Shek Pik Reservoir where we started our hike.

Hiking up a ridge
Going up the West Dog's Teeth Ridge. We went up to about 800 metres and were literally in the clouds.
The Big Buddha sitting at Ngong Ping with its back to us.
One of many rock climbs we had to do. Lantau has some of most scenic hiking trails in Hong Kong and it's one of my favourite places to hike. It's definitely worth hiking in if you're an avid hiker.
