Shek O. my dose of nature.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I love nature. Especially nature in HK. The mountains are so different from the Singapore version (think: “Mount” Faber & “Mount” Sophia). Thanks to Yu-Beng, I got the chance to go hiking at Shek O – the south-east corner of Hong Kong Island with him & a fellow actor, Michael Sorich.

Tiny stream trickling down the mountainside.

Before embarking on the “Dragon’s Back”

I am 284 metres above sea level. Amazing.

That’s the Shek O Beach & Village down below.

We wandered off the trodden path to scale these mountainous rocks.

Queen of the World.

The weather’s cold. But I’m feeling like I’m on top of the world!

I rarely go hiking. And let’s face it, in Singapore, there is very little opportunity to go hiking. It’s on overseas trips like this that we really get the chance to experience nature & explore amazing places.

Back on sea level. At the pristine & quiet Shek O Beach.

I think I’m addicted to rocks after this trip. Haha.

After a nearly 2-hour hiking journey, we took a minibus to Shek O Village, and explored the beach a bit before adjourning for lunch.

Thumb-up for the Squid dish.

These pictures make me hungry.

No doubt an amazing day out to explore another side to Hong Kong. Whets my appetite for more nature trips in HK when I get back again. Must remember to pack my proper hiking shoes.

I love nature.
