We woke up early to start our trekking on the island. We were still stuck initially without any local map but bingo - the BB house we stayed got a very nice colored map. My dear has earlier done some homework and we would explore the mini great wall trail this time cos the other side of the island might have strong waves and wind during winter season. The morning breakfast was nice and enuff to pump the necessary energy for us to start our trail. We passed the expensive hotel on the island and also passed the helicopter pad. There were directional signs along the way so easy to trek. However, it was different from the Dragon Trail where there were many markings along the trek telling you each kilometre you have conquered :P.
长洲不算长, 但乐趣却不少. The mini great wall was quite well-maintained. Easy to walk and it should take much efforts to construct it. Wonder why was it constructed? We were the only couple trekking at that point of time - me forgot to bring a whistle in case of emergency =S. I used to attach one on my backpack (just like army days) - dunno why forgot to bring this time round. Nevermind, I got my heavy 3kg tripod with me - enuff to fend off any snakes or dogs I supposed :P.
The trail was really manageable. We took our pace and explored different parts of the trail. Sometimes, we got more adventurous and went to take some shots near some cliffs. Sometimes, we passed by old buildings and quickly scurried off - cos got fierce dogs barking at us. Along the trails, we did bump into some people - a family, a group of students and two guys. I like walking in cool cool weather - not much sweat. But must be careful though as it could be quite cold if it rained. Thank God for us that it was perfect weather as compared to previous day.
We passed by some local landed property along the way. Some looked deserted while others were very well-maintained. Likely that some Kowlooners bought the land here and would visit the island for holidays. WoW - if our Pulau Ubin could be developed like that, it would help many locals revive childhood fun and peaceful getaway? We reached a playground where we could hear some camping activities (Salvation Army)nearby. Hee, it was good to hear some noises so that we would not be lost in the forests mah :P.
We played some "wedding shots" at the playground and maybe we would select some to show our guests. Maybe. My dear too "yaya" for some shots le :P. I saw someone jogging along the way and I wonder if I would follow his jogging routine if I were to stay in Cheung Chau? Hard to say. Too lazy me but I do like to lead a healthy lifestyle. Actually, there is no need to wake up early in the morning to watch sunrise or watch fishermen loading and unloading their harvests into the Cheung Chau Market. 只要有你, 一起畅游, 一起漫步, 也一样好玩. 长洲不算长, 但乐趣却不少.
