Hiking in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is famous for its beautiful urban skyline, but it's also naturally beautiful. I went hiking two weekends in a row in November. The first was to a waterfall in Tai Po, pictured below. It was the first time I ever took a taxi to a trailhead, but it turned out to be a great hike. The next weekend I went with Dr. Man and the new YUNA students (Yale University New Asia exchange program, sponsored by Yale-China and New Asia). We went to Sai Kung and hiked along the shore. All the paths are paved, but that doesn't make the hills any less steep. It's great to see a different part of Hong Kong and get outdoors when the weather is good.
