Wilson Trail - Mt Voilet

This afternoon I had a pleasant walk up Stage 1 of the Wilson Trail, south from Parkview as far as Violet Hill.

Violet Hill (Tsz Lo Lan Shan) is 435m high with impressive views.   It is named after a native flower, the Hong Kong Iris which grow there.

This is the view looking north from Violet Hill across the Wong Nai Chung Gap to Central Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour and Kowloon,  with Parkview on the right.


Close-up of the Wong Nai Chung Gap.  You can just see the ICC across the harbor.
Looking east, across the Tai Tam valley and reservoirs towards Shek O peninsular.
Looking south-west across Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay to Lamma Island.


Video Panorama:  panning fromt he south, south-west to Deepwater Bay and Lamma island, west to Mt Nicholson, north-west to Central Hong Kong, then North East to Parkview.
