Hiking Log: Castle Peak (高山第一 : 青山遊)

It has been at least ten years since my last visit to the top of
Castle Peak. In fact the place has become a very popular trail to
people living in Tuen Mun. Besides the beautiful scene, there
are a number of valuable historical attraction both at the foot
and the top of the peak.
A simple trip: just up and down (較為簡單的路徑) A big sign of Tsing Shan Monastery at the entrance (起點有青山寺的大型路標) g6/60/37160/3/78052156.UoqAu97N.jpg Look! Jackfruit! (大樹菠蘿,好味道!)
The Chinese characters were written by former British Governor Sir Cecil Clementi (香海名山 - 為前港督金文泰所題) g6/60/37160/3/78052160.uwCl2JNH.jpg g6/60/37160/3/78052161.EcohrUok.jpg g6/60/37160/3/78052162.OY7MeDEZ.jpg

There were only one or two crosses to take care of Most of the time I was walking on steps (大部份路段都是梯級) Looking back at Tuen Mun (回望屯門) g6/60/37160/3/78052182.vtf3ORYi.jpg
