Hong Kong Hiking 2007 Lantau Peak Pollution
Taken on Lantau Peak, the greenest island in Hong Kong and a hikers paradise. But, it has also got the highest pollution levels in Hong Kong. This photo taken at 934m above sea level. This is a genuine picture taken with my point n shoot Sony, no filters etc. Chep Lap Kok the international airport is in the left part of the gloom 2.5km from the peak. Though the pollution doesn't come from there, it comes from 50km north of here in the Pearl River Delta, industrial heart of Southern China, fuelled by coal fired power stations. The pollution is up to a height of 900m and only on Lantau Peak (934m) the second highest in HK, and Tai Mo Shan the highest, can you get above this filth!
