Lantau Trail Adventure II

Welcome gentlemen, as you could see from the right, this is a sign of the Lantau Trial. Of course, it is located in Lantau Island, a total 70 km long circuit that starts and ends in Mui Wo. Another langweilig trail that starts with the sideway of the highway, why is that? I think you have to look stupid first and show everyone in the vehicles that you, a foolish gesund people, is planning to hike. Anyhow, this is the track you could walk through the famous Lantau Peak (鳳凰山), over 900 meters of height.



So I planned to visit it on a Saturday afternoon, as I felt boring when I woke up with nothing to do. I looked for the earliest ferry I could catch, and went there unarmed, under the foggy and uncertain weather. It was half past one after I stepped out from the superstore with my bag full of water, juice and food. If you were driving along to Mui Wo and saw one man wearing a pair of blue sport shoes, short light brown trousers, short white T-shirt and a small stupid-looking green bag, that would be me. At last I finished 3 stages before everything got really dark.



That was the greatest journey I've ever been to alone. It was absolutely fabulous. Due to the weather was cool and the air was so wet, I went through layers and layers of clouds and fogs. Each dreams I could get through, total silence I could experienced, I could even listen to my own words inside my heart. I should be scared to explore alone, but I wasn't. Sadly though, I am not going to talk about this here. Sorry mates. I am just going to share the second journey that I went back with my dad. It was exactly the same path, exactly one week later. But with our bags full of equipments and a camp, we decided to stayed there a night.

That was a night extremely cold, extremely uncomfortable inside the camp. You have to cook, to sit, to sleep between each shape rocks. Our backs hurt, our bodies starved, our temperature went down. But when we finally saw the scene, nothing really matters. Das ist superb!
