The Funny Rocks of Ling Kok Shan

I took a nice walk in Lamma Island on a sunny winter day. The walk took about three hours and it offered wonderful ocean and island views on a high point in Sok Kwu Wan, the southern section of Lamma Island. I began the trail at the Tin Hau Temple in Sok Kwu Wan and looped back to the pier area via a rather wild and unkempt path. I took this loop because the standard paved trail will route via the Mo Tat Wan before arriving at the Sok Kwu Wan Pier. That will result in a significantly longer duration, and I was pushed for time that day. The hike up the mountains was done on a nice-paved trail throughout. At a 250 meter altitude, Ling Kok Shan is known for its many oddly-shaped, large boulders. About half hour or 45 minutes into the ascent, you will start seeing these boulders all over the Ling Kok Shan Area. The rocky terrain is quite interesting. My hiking app says that there are Japanese tunnels as well, but I did not manage to find any opening of those tunnels there. #hiking #hknature #lammaisland #naturalwonders #hongkonghiking #shorthike #lingkokshan #boulder #rocks #rocksformation #naturalwonders#china
