Ma On Shan Country Park

Hong Kong has amazing, well-kept hiking trails through the mountains just a short ride out of the city. Yesterday, Mike and I spent most of the day hiking from Ma On Shan Country Park back to Kowloon. We were in search of a river where we could shoot some video for a project we're working on, and the map of the New Territories had tons of little rivers all over the country parks north of the urban areas. We found some good possibilities while walking until we couldn't walk any more.

As I know from my other trip to the mountains here, the views of the city and the sea are stunning here. Because of incredibly thick fog, we didn't see anything more than 40' in front of us all day: never a single glimpse of the sea. Our limited view of the landscape was magical, though.
