hike over Lantau Peak

This Saturday I went hiking over Lantau Peak with a group of friends. It's the second highest peak in Hong Kong and probably the steepest incline. I'm still sore, 2 days later, but the scenery was beautiful. We started by taking a cable car, hiked, and ended at the beach by the Stoep, a South African restaurant. The cable car that leads up to the Big Buddha and some of the Lantau mountains.
On our way up at the beginning.

The man-made village and tourist area, after the cable car and before the Big Buddha and hike.

The village and monastery down below, near where we started.

We ended here...in a long line, walking along the water.

On the descent. You can see the beach in the distance where we ended up.

And on the way up...

Stopping for a rest. You can just barely see the Big Buddha, where we started.
