Park Island, Ma Wan, Hong Kong

In part 1 of this series,  A hike around Ma Wan Island - Part 1  I posted photos of the path up to the top of the mountain on Ma Wan.

The Tsing Ma Bridge viewed from the top of Ma Wan Once at the top, you will walk past the gravestones and tombs of local Ma Wan villagers.

My recent post post about the history of Ma Wan  History of Ma Wan  inspired a friend of mine who came from overseas in Hong Kong, to take a big hike around Ma Wan Island.

I am going to post these up in various parts on this blog, along with my comments. I hope my photos will encourage people to come over and spend a day hiking on Ma Wan. There are really some quite spectacular and unique things to see! Hiking up Ma Wan Island This is the path we took to the top of the Peak on Ma Wan. It's quite an easy walk.

I actually saw only very few people during most parts of the walk. Park Island Estate You can see her...
