One of the most beautiful hiking trails in Hong Kong - Nam She Tsim.

One of the most beautiful hiking trails in Hong Kong - Nam She Tsim. After climbing Lao Hu Tou, I decided to challenge Sai Kung Ngam Snake Peak. Starting from Bei Tan Ao, climbing over Ngam Snake Peak, going to Tai Wan and then to Xian Tian Wan, and finally returning to Bei Tan Ao, the whole journey took 8 hours. Really didn't expect to complete this hike. The last few peaks of Ranshejian are mostly made of broken stones, so one needs to be very careful. It's necessary to wear hiking shoes and anti-slip gloves, and use both hands and feet to climb up. From afar, the angle of the mountain road looked very steep and scary, and we almost lost confidence to continue. Along the way, we met hikers who had climbed down the mountain, and they gave us some confidence and encouragement. Finally climbed to the top of Ranshe Mountain, took 2 hours and 50 minutes, and all four companions were very excited, one is because the scenery is really beautiful, and the other is the achievement of reaching the summit. At the top of the mountain, we took photos and had a simple lunch. Because there was no food or water supply on the way, we prepared simple dry food and water before departure, and each person prepared at least two bottles of water or sports drinks. It's better to bring some nuts or energy bars, and if not too heavy, some fruits can also be brought. Following the advice of other hikers at the mountaintop, we decided to descend towards the east bay. We went up and down several hills, skipped over the east bay, and headed to the big bay to feel the sea breeze and waves. Then we went to the salt field bay to experience the tranquility of the sea. After a short rest at the salt field bay, we returned to the north valley and descended the mountain. The salt field bay has a supply of food, water, and a restroom available. Along the way, we met interesting hikers of all kinds, and everyone politely greeted each other. There was a young man carrying heavy camping equipment, a skilled runner running barefoot, and cool girls who stopped to rest and smoke. The most impressive was the grandfather who was nearly 71 years old and climbed with a cane to become the first to reach the summit. He told us that we were the fifth group of climbers to climb Ranshejian that day, and we felt quite accomplished.
