Hike up Tai Mo Shan

My Dear Great Ones,

Celia and I are so fortunate to live at the foot of Tai Mo Shan mountain, the tallest mountain (957 meters) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR).  It is interesting, ruggedly beautiful, and offers tremendous views of Hong Kong.  Here is some photo evidence from a hike we took up the mountain last week: 

A great view of Tsuen Wan.

Heading up.  Some of the views remind me of the Crowsnest Pass in Alberta.

Below is the Shing Mun Reservoir.  We live just below it to the right.

Crazy.  Crowsnest Pass?!

Rock formations are amazing as you get closer to the top.

While the mountain reminds me of the Crowsnest Pass walking through a grove of young bamboo brings you back to the reality that you are in a sub-tropical climate.

Up near the peak are amazing boulder fields.

The way down is on a nice windy road.  A communications tower on the peak has a great view of Shenzhen.

Ta Mo Shan.  Amazing place with a host of great trails and views to enjoy.

Have a great week.

Love adios and ping on!
