Needle Hill

My Dear Great Ones,

Last week I climbed up to Needle Hill with my lovely fiancee Celia.  Needle Hill is within walking distance of where I live and I highly recommend the hike for fitness and awesome scenery.

 At first Celia was not that impressed with the daunting task of climbing and climbing and climbing "milllions" of steps.

 Steps were pretty steep.

 Later the steps gave way to some magnificent views.  Shing Mun Reservoir.  Behind it is the urban landscape of Tsuen Wan.

 Look in the middle of this picture and you can see two bridges that are connected by lengthy tunnels on either side.  Hong Kong has several of these tunnel passageways connecting Kowloon to Shatin.

 Tai Wai.  I used to live in the apartment complex below.

 A much happier Celia celebrating the view.

 Trail up to the top.

Almost there.

 At the top 532 meters above sea level.

 Superb views.

Have a great week everyone.  God bless you!

Love adios and ping on!
