本來今天打算到大東山(鳳凰徑 2), 但Nelson 的朋友(Jeremy Joseph and Ricky G. Rogers)及新隊友Mike 希望一訪以看日出聞名的鳳凰山, 所以臨時改往鳳凰山及昂平.
鳳凰山頂以大風及長年大霧聞名, 今天天朗氣清又炎熱, 看看鳳凰山頂又會如何.

J

Our plan today was Lantau Trail stage 2 (To Sunset Peak). But Nelson had brought some friends along (Jeremy Joseph and Ricky G. Rogers), and our new team-mate, Mike Stevenson,
wanted to have a look @ the famous place, Lantau Peak, for seeing sunrise~ , so we changed our plan to Lantau Peak and Ngong Ping.









紀念碑~ 紀念2003年因直昇機意外身亡的2位飛行服務隊隊員.

J

Monument~ RIP! For the 2 officers of Government Flying Service who died in a helicopter crash during a rescue service @ this place.






































走了2公里... 仍有2.5公里.... 大家仍需努力!! 山上景色極美, 又可看到對面的大東山. 早段的上山路很平坦, 不過之後斜得驚人.

J

We had been walking for 2km and another 2.5km ahead!! Move, guys!!!!!! The scene @ Lantau Peak is extremely beautiful,
we could see Sunset Peak @ the opposite side!! The path for the first 2km is very hiker-friendly, but for the rest, just like HELL.









這裡有植林區, 多種不同顏色的花及植物形成一層又一層, 隨風蕩漾, 有點像歐洲的牧場!! 花老B 忍不住在七彩的草原上, 邊跑邊笑, 大家亦不斷替他拍照 :D

J

This place is under "Corporate Afforestation Scheme" from Cathay Pacific Airways, so there are various kinds of flowers and plants everywhere @ the highland.
Tachibana san was running and laughing on this big piece of beautiful and colourful land (does it look like those pastures in Europe?), our team-mates all moved their camera lens to Tachibana san!!!























越向上行, 山路越斜越難走.... 霧亦越來越濃.... 上行至標柱 L022 (約海拔650米), 有一座小涼亭, 大家早已走得腳痛, 正好在此休息及吃點零食.
從小涼亭向上望, 只見山上給濃霧包圍, 看來仍要走過2個山頭才能到達鳳凰山頂.

J

The path became steeper and steeper... and even steeper like straight!!! As we moved upwards...
Very exhausted, just like our energy all "sucked up" by the pheonix... (In Chinese, Lantau Peak is called Phoenix Peak)...
There's a sun shelter near distance pole L022 (Around 650m above sea level). We had a little bit rest here.
From here, we could see the top of Lantau Peak was in the fog, and we still needed to walk along 2 hills in order to reach the top.








南天門~ 極斜山谷, 霧從谷中冒出來.

J

South Heaven's Door ~ A very narrow valley, with fog flushing out frequently.








之後是上山頂的"鳳凰天梯"(難走得像地獄般難受)

J

From now on, we were moving upwards to the top of Lantau Peak, via the "Heaven's Staircases" (Just like HELL from here)




















看到鳳頂了!!!! 但仍要走一大段極難走, 又斜又凹凸不平的山路.

J

Now we could see the top of Lantau Peak!!! But still have to walk via many bumpy and very steep paths.














已走了3公里, 終於到了鳳頂!!! 大家忍不住尖叫!!

J

After 3km's walk, we had reached the top of Lantau Peak finally!! We all shouted out happily.. "We have made it!!!"




























今天山頂風不大, 不過亦到避風站坐一下.

J

It was not windy @ the hill top today, but we still had a rest inside the wind shelter.









鳳凰山頂~ 高度是海拔934米, 花老B 到此一遊, 有相為證.

J

@ the top of Lantau Peak~ Height: 934m above sea level, Tachibana san had a visit here, with a photo as "evidence"!! :)



























下山的路貼近崖邊 (已是斬柴坳), 而且很多碎石及很斜, 大家小心為上.

J

The road downhill is close to the cliff (already @ Tsam Chai Au), with scattered stones everywhere and very steep, be careful














美麗的花!!

J

Beautiful flowers!!





















斬柴坳的一段, 最為難走, 此地810米高, 離400多米高的終點仍有400多米的落差.

J

The most challenging part is near Tsam Chai Au, with fatal accidents in the past.
Here's 810m above sea level, still with a height of 400m for downhill.








回望鳳頂, 真的很高. 想不到我們已走了這麼長的路!!!

J

Looking back to the top of Lantau Peak~ Really so steep and high!
Can't imagine we had walked so long!








心經簡林仍很遠.

J

Still far away from the Wisdom Path.















回到"鳳凰觀日" 牌樓, 已是終點. 遇上可憐的牛, 牠的一部份鼻子給人扯下來, 誰這麼殘忍??????

J

Now @ the archway of Lantau Sunrise~ also our end point!!
We met a poor buffalo, with part of its nose being torn out!!! Who did this thing to it?????? So cruel, like a beast.
