Hong Kong ::Shing Mun Reservoir::.

As per usual in Hong Kong, the day started with food. This time, Yum Cha, a family get together where everyone goes to drink tea and eat dim sum. After which followed a semi guided tour to Shing Mun Reservioir 城門水塘 and a hike to the Needle Point Summit, one of the highest features in the New Territories, just over 500m high. 

The hike to the summit, took us through green landscapes that reminded Sauce and Mustard very much of New Zealand. As they walked, they came across large packs of local monkeys, that dominated the best feeding grounds, ie, rubbish bins. These smelly beasts don't have much fears of humans. As cute as they are, do not feed them, or you will loose your hands (big fines).  

The walk around the reservoir featured green parks and excellent recreational facilities. Since it was getting late, Sauce and Mustard decided to break track to reach the summit to watch the sunset. Their ascent took them from heavy undergrowth to stairs galore. More stairs than Sauce can count in Cantonese. (He can only count up to 26 before he ran out of breath)

At the summit, the views were breath taking. With 360 degree panorama views of the outlying islands and mountains of Hong Kong. Altogether it took 4.5hours from start to finish. The sunset from the top was flabbergasting.
