Finding Quiet Above Hong Kong | Lantau Peak

Описание: We spent our anniversary in Hong Kong and wanted to celebrate it in a way we would truly remember. Instead of fancy dinners or shopping, we chose the mountains.

This hike was Lantau Peak, the second highest peak in Hong Kong. A place that asks for effort, patience, and presence. We decided not to start from sea level and began at Pak Kung Au instead, choosing to manage our energy and enjoy the journey rather than chase exhaustion. We started hiking around 9 AM. Step by step, the noise faded, the views opened up, and time slowed down. By 2 PM, we arrived at Ngong Ping Village and shared a well earned lunch together. Tired, but full. Not just from food, but from the experience.

What made it special was how it felt. There were challenging sections, steep climbs, moments that asked for focus. But we have trained for this. That preparation turned difficulty into fun. Less suffering, more appreciation. More smiles between breaths. We still had enough energy to go on a street food tour that evening. Laughing, eating, and soaking in the city after a full day in the mountains felt like the perfect contrast.

This hike reminded us why we love doing hard things together. Not to prove anything, but to feel alive, connected, and present. A simple anniversary. One we will carry with us for a long time.
