Above the Clouds, Find a Moment of Quiet Wind

Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest peak, is a must-visit pilgrimage site for hikers. As you ascend, the mist envelops the trail, making it feel as though you're walking into the sky. Starting from the foot of the mountain, you pass through lush forest paths and winding trails, gradually leaving the hustle and bustle behind. On summer afternoons, clouds gently press against the summit, and standing at the top offers a panoramic view of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories—a scene as poetic as it is picturesque. Here, there is no urban noise, only the rustling of grass in the wind and the occasional bird flying by. On the day I reached the summit, I was surrounded by white mist, with low visibility, yet my mind felt exceptionally clear. This height and tranquility invite reflection on life's pace. Tai Mo Shan is not just a geographical peak; it is also a journey into nature and a climb into one's inner self.
