Hello My Dear Great Ones,
One of Hong Kong's great tourist attractions is the giant buddha (Ngong Ping). Since it is located on top of a small mountain there are numerous trails, a road, and a cable car to get up to it. One of the trails is the Shek Mun Kap trail. It is a paved beauty and believe me it is better to go down than up, unless of course you are interested in a great workout. (note some pics below were taken by Celia's i phone) Thanks dear!
The journey starts near the Giant Buddha site.
Lighting was bad for taking a pic of the buddha.
On the way to the Wisdom Path.
About 400 meters away from the Wisdom Path is an archway. Not sure what it says but maybe it says "Shek Mun Kap, A Really Nice Hike."
Jungle trail. All paved.
Some Chinese graffiti.
Great views of Tung Chung and the airport from the trail.
Sweet.
Half way down is a buddhist monastery.
The entrance to it.
Along the way are bamboo groves.
Amazing ferns with mountain backdrop.
A Buddhist monk(ette?) walking down to the monastery.
Some beautiful mountain scenes along the trail.
A beautiful creek.
