From Tai Tam to Dragon's Back (大潭 - 龍脊)

The Start Point was a stair case g6/60/37160/3/72794742.BswhWIPy.jpg The beautiful Tai Tam Reservoir大潭水塘 One can tell from the bridges and dams that Tai Tam is one of the earlier reservoir built in Hong Kong
Another beautifully constructed bridge g6/60/37160/3/72794746.kbrtXxdL.jpg In Hong Kong rainfall is scarce in the Winter, note the very low water level The reservoir from another angle

Breaking off the Island Trail and climbing Mt. Collinson離開港島徑, 由小徑登上哥連臣山 From one of the rare opening during the climb, I saw Mt. Parker小徑開揚的地方不多, 圖中的是望柏架山 Finally I reach the top of Mt. Collinson and saw Big Wave Bay由哥連臣山頂下望大浪灣 Ahead:Wan Cham ShanDragon's BackShek O Peak andD'Aguilar Peak前路崎嶇: 雲枕山, 龍脊, 打爛呈頂山, 鶴嘴山
Moving ahead, now the Big Wave Bay looked closer Most of the time my view was blockedby tall plants on both side :( A grand-looking tree near the topof Wan Cham Shan雲枕山上很有型的一棵大樹 Here I join the major path, the Island Trailjust before the climb to Dragon's Back重入正途: 在龍脊前接上港島徑
I laterally jumped out from behind the sign.At the back is Wan Cham Shan小徑出口就在路牌後面,後為雲枕山 This is not only a path for hiking, but also one for Mt. Bike riding Now I was looking at Big Wave Bay from a different angle Looking back:Wan Cham Shan, Mt. Collison, and Mt. Paker回望雲枕山, 哥連臣山, 及柏架山
A golf course near Shek O g6/60/37160/3/72794771.MWTZkSZq.jpg I would have sat there to enjoy the scene if it was not for the cold and the very strong wind g6/60/37160/3/72794773.9q7AIObl.jpg
At the top of Shek O Peak, the islandfar away was Tung Lung Island打爛呈頂山上遠眺東龍島 Shek O - The village and the beach g6/60/37160/3/72794777.HPRupn9b.jpg A closer look at Shek O village
