Yesterday was the 7th day of the Chinese New year 20 Feb 2010, traditionally, this is called "everyone's birthday" in the Lunar new year. A group 6 of us including one French and Singaporean went up the Lantao Trail early at 8:00 am. It was not too cold, a bit foggy and cloudy, it was a exceptional good weather for Hiking. We did approx. 16Km yesterday.
We stared at Tung Chung, took a but to Pak Kung Au whereby we could start the up hill to Pheonix after some warm up. ...After reaching the Peak of 934M, we went down for 30 mins, to the Great Buddha...took some meal and continued the 2nd half of the trail to Keung Shan, Man Cheung Po and ended at the Tai O road....

The Hong Kong Trail is 50KM long, on the third day of the Chinese New Year. we gathered at MTR HK Station and walked to the bus station at Exchange square, we took a No.15 bus to the Peak., The Peak stand 552M high, from where we started form the morning Trail , walked down to the Pok Fu Lam reserviour for 7Km, then 6 Km from Pok Fu Lam reserviour to Peel Rise. And then 6.5KM from Pok Fu Lam Reserviour to Chi Wan Gap. That trial was the first three of the total 8 second of the Hong Kong Trail, I had an injury on my knee since the last Trail Walker, and I could only make that 19KM in this time. The Temperature was about 10 Degrees and it was a very good weather for Hiking…
