In the past weekend, some mountain hikers went to Wong Chuk Kok Tsui and planned to explore the ghost hand rock. However, they were stranded on the mountain due to dark and thunderstorms on the return trip. They stayed overnight and were rescued by the Flying Service the next morning.
Wu Anyang, director of outdoor training of Deng Yi, suggested that mountain friends should go with them together, and those who "go out" for the first time should be mentally prepared to retreat. He said, "It is not guaranteed that you will finish every time you climb. You can't finish it today. It's a mountain, it's okay next time."
A female mountain friend was vacated by Wu Jiao to issue Guishouyan at Huangzhujiao Tsui last Saturday morning, but the return time was too late and the weather was getting worse, so she had to spend the night at Baijiao Mountain.
She continued to return on Sunday morning, but her husband could not receive her message and was worried about her accident and called the police on her behalf.
The female mountain friend was rescued by the flight service team when she arrived at the top of the Phoenix Wat at 11 am on Sunday.
She said she had the ability and food to go down the mountain on her own, but under the advice of rescuers, she decided to get on a helicopter and leave.

Wu Hung-yang, who was originally the chairman of the Hong Kong Mountaineering Committee, read the information about this hiking accident and thought that this female mountain friend could do better.
He first said: “It’s very important to travel together. Unless you’re a veteran and know this route well, it’s best to find a friend to travel with you and take you along. It’s not wrong to be curious to do this, but if you can find more A friend who goes curious and takes care of each other will be more ideal."
Mountain Arts instructor Wu Anyang said that it is best to travel with Guishouyan for the first time and be led by friends who are familiar with the road.

Wu Hunyang felt that this female mountain friend was not unprepared. For example, she knew how to set off very early. He continued: "You asked her if she was very dangerous? In fact, it is not very dangerous, but the overall false alarm. She has plenty of food. Water preparation, not afraid to spend the night on the mountain, but the family is worried. This is a communication problem between her and her family. She did not give her family enough confidence. It is natural for her family to report to the police. If you want to avoid this embarrassing situation next time, I suggest that she communicate with her family A little more.” The girlfriend of the mountain notified her family when she decided to sleep on the mountain last Saturday night, and her family responded to know. When she continued to return on Sunday morning, she also sent a message to her family, but she believed that her family would not receive it. Call the police.
When the female mountain friend was rescued by a helicopter on Sunday, she still had two liters of water and a small amount of food.

Wu Hunyang thinks that the female mountain friend can make good use of technology next time. He said, "You see her bring enough food and water, and an umbrella to cover the wind and rain. If she must prepare more things, it would be ideal. I see her as if I don’t know how to use apps to locate. If she uses apps to locate earlier, she will at least have fewer chances of making the wrong way, and she won’t spend two hours on the wrong road.” The girlfriend used to go the wrong way in Fenghuangao Mountain when she was on her way, and she returned at night. Shi was also lost in Baijiao Mountain.
Based on Wu Hung Yang's experience, he believes that if you are prepared, it is not easy to get lost on the mountain road in Wong Chuk Kok Tsui.
He said: "Compared with the roads of the AFCD, of course it is a bit messy, but if you have experience, have seen a map and have a good grasp of the mountain topography, you will know how to do it."

In the past weekend, the weather was unstable and there were occasional thunderstorms. Wu Hung-yang also believed that this kind of weather was not suitable for the first time people who "struck a ghost hand". He said, "If you have certain experience and ability, use this route as a drill. This is no problem, but if it’s the first time, I don’t think it is suitable, and there are no friends to travel with.”
For those who want to challenge "out of the mouth" for the first time, Wu Hunyang thinks it is best to be led by friends who are familiar with the road, and have the physical fitness for 12 to 16 hours.
However, Wu Hunyang pointed out that the most important thing is the mentality. He said: "Hiking is not a chance. It is not guaranteed that you will finish it every time. You can't finish the mountain today, but you can do it next time."
Wu Anyang took his friends to Wong Chuk Kok Tsui many times. He personally planned to return to the Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail at 4 pm at the latest, so he would decide when to turn back on the road "out of Tsui" based on the status and footwork of his teammates.
He continued: "Don't insist on being'out of the mouth'. If you find that there is not enough time or'not the right way', you are advised to turn back as soon as possible. Practice more and speed up your pace next time. This is a question of mentality."
