Climbing Lantau Peak was one unexpected thing to do in 'touristy' Hong Kong. I had mentioned to a reliable guide that I wanted to go hiking in the territory, so I was expecting some leisurely walking on plains and plateaus. I never imagined that the hiking would involve a steep climb to Lantau Peak, Hong Kong's second highest mountain which was about 3000 feet above sea level. I ended up huffing, puffing and calling out the name of my ancestors, LOL. But the resulting scenery certainly made up for all the sweat. The closer we got, the nearer the view of the ...
