Since i got Sunday off, I have decided to invite my boyfriend and a friend of mine, Kenny and his friend Haley to go on a hiking adventure. At first we thought of hiking the Sharp Peak but it will be too difficult for us, since we haven't gone hiking for months. Instead we decided to hike Po Pin Chau located in Sai Kung.
We took a cab from Sai Kung main area to the High Reservior Dam. The taxi cost around HK$120 but you can also choose to walk up the mountain, which will take around 2-3 hours to reach the dam. After reaching the dam, we start off the hike in a bunch of tree branches for about 30 minutes. Be careful with the branches, as some of it are very sharp. After 1 hour, we finally reach the famous view of Po Pin Chau and let me tell you honestly that I actually thought i am not in Hong Kong at all. I couldn't believe what I saw. It's stunning.

View after the hike
After the hike, we went back to the dam by taking a short cut. After reaching where the taxi stand is. There were a lot of people waiting for taxi. We tried to call for cab but none of them wants to come to our location. We decided to walk down the mountain instead. We were told that it is only 2 hours but it actually took 3 hours to get to the first bus stop. The bus took us back to Sai Kung main area. We were so exhausted from walking and hungry too. We went to eat Thai food and it was so delicious.
Overall, It was a nice hiking adventure and I cannot wait for the next one!
