You can temporarily forget about the hustle and bustle of the city, listen to the birdsong and the chirping of insects, and gather a few close friends to enjoy a leisurely half-day camping trip in the deserted mountains. You can forget all the stress, relax your body and mind, and fully enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer.

Hurry up and mark the following must-visit camping spots in autumn, and organize a camping trip of your own with your friends!

Mountain Camping: Ngong Ping Campground, Lantau Island

Surrounded by valleys, although there is no sea view, the trees block the city lights, so you can clearly see the magnificent view of the entire starry sky at night.

Most photography enthusiasts will greet the sunrise along the Ngong Ping Fun Trail in the early morning and enjoy the breathtaking scenery at the top of Phoenix Mountain.

Often, while I was taking pictures of the charming scenery, dawn had already come before I knew it.
