This is like the first hike I've ever made in my whole life. LIKE a REAL hike from the foot of the hill to the highest point. The last time I climbed some mountain, it was at Korea but we took the cable car to a place to walk to the highest point, so that doesn't count.
Went Lion Rock Hill with Chi Hei leading us. I almost died! It's not as easy as I thought! The steps are alright to climb but it gets tiring as we go higher. AND then it gets steeper so I had to climb with both hands. There's a rope too but it is not available throughout the whole journey. Did I mention that we walked to the foot of the hill?
This is the view from halfway up to the peak. Quite breathtaking but alas, it was a misty day today.
Have you ever had that sense of accomplishment? Like after you've finished something you never thought you could in your whole life? Or how it felt like to stand so high up and have the world at your feet? It's like 400 plus metres above sea level only but it felt so good. The mist helped to make you feel better. It's like touching air and water.
Night view from our resting spot. I can spot my dorm!
No idea if this is going to be a once-a-week thing for me. Hopefully I can just stick to treadmill running! At least it was a different experience in cosmopolitan Hong Kong!
