As many of you saw when I posted these pics on facebook a few weeks ago, there are more to Hong Kong than just tall buildings and people. Hong Kong has an amazing amount of nature and hiking trails, and thanks to the Swedish women's network here in Hong Kong I have gotten the chance to see and walk on several of these hiking trails.
As soon as you get outside the city and a bit up in the hills you feel that the air is so much better, less pollution and less dirt, instead fresh, moist and green air. It does wonders to the breathing, especially for me with asthma. Of course the actual walking in a varied terrain in a pretty high speed with a bunch of fun and interesting people makes it so much fun.
Here are some pictures of the wonderful nature of Hong Kong. The hills and trees are green and fresh. The beaches are gorgeous and the water blue. Winter time in Hong Kong is the perfect temperature for hiking, around 17-22C (63-71F), sunny with a light breeze. It's absolutely lovely.

I was very much looking forward to this week's hike from Tung Chung all the way up to the Big Buddha. You who went in the cable car that route knows how steep that hike will be :). Unfortunately it was cancelled due to people being sick :(. Get well my friends. I hope we can still do it before hiking season is over.
