There are more and more people hiking in Hong Kong. In the past year, the number of people hiking has increased significantly, creating an unprecedented upsurge of hiking among the people.

Many people walk on the mountain, causing pollution problems. The garbage on the mountain is increasing rapidly. Although many mountain friends are obliged to handle the garbage, they are always in the bucket. There are always more people throwing garbage than cleaning them.

Although many enthusiastic mountain friends went to the mountains to carry garbage during the epidemic, more people litter.

The explosive increase in the number of hikers has also accelerated the loss of hiking trails and facilities. "The damage cannot keep up with the speed of manual maintenance. Some problems have to be repaired by nature and recuperate. However, it is impossible for people to use them. Part of the mountain trail was overloaded. It used to be green and bald because of overuse."

You can’t climb the sky in one step

With many people hiking, hiking accidents also increase.

According to the Fire Services Department, the number of mountain climbing rescue accidents in 2020 is 1.8 times higher than in 2019.

The Admin boss of "Shanye News Library" hopes that some mountain hikers should change their mindsets. "Hiking activities should put safety first, and be humble towards the "mountain". Don't challenge the difficulty indiscriminately. Hiking should be accompanied by companions. Mountain route information can be found everywhere on the Internet, but it is not absolutely correct. Please consult a mountain veteran or expert you know in real life."

He continued: "Other hiking routes have different degrees of difficulty. If you find it online and have been conquered, it does not mean that you can conquer it. Don’t go up the mountain with a challenging mentality. Mountain experience and safety awareness are accumulated bit by bit. Physical fitness is also dependent on daily exercise. It is impossible for ordinary people to climb into the sky in one step. Hiking activities seem to be safe but can also be fatal, so please find veterans who know in real life to lead the team or provide advice It’s safe to ask for more opinions, and it’s better to enroll in an approved mountain art course."

Considering the three factors of "Heaven, Earth, and People"

Each website or hiker has a different evaluation of the difficulty of each route, depending on personal ability and experience. Netizens say that it is easy, but it does not mean that you can do it easily.

In addition, the difficulty of the route will also change due to different weather conditions, such as the recent warming of temperatures and rising humidity, and hiking in the mountains is generally harder than the dry autumn and winter.

The boss of Admin reminds you to make full preparations before going hiking and consider the three factors of "heaven, earth, and people".

He first explained the "sky" factor. He said: "The weather will affect the road conditions and the ability of mountain friends. Extreme conditions will bring risks. For example, hot weather is prone to fever-related conditions, and cold weather is prone to low temperature. The disease can be fatal. In addition, slippery roads in rainy days will make it easy to slip, and soil erosion will also cause landslides or tree collapse."

Before deciding on a route, hikers need to understand the distance, climb, road conditions, difficulty, exit points and other information of the route, and do enough homework.

In terms of "land", hikers should understand the difficulty and length of the route, and decide the departure time accordingly. For example, the long-distance route with higher difficulty is suitable for starting earlier and try to descend before sunset.

When judging whether the route is appropriate, mountain hikers must also consider the factors of "sky" and "people". Road conditions will be affected by changes in the weather. The difficulty and time required are also closely related to personal experience and abilities.

It is often said that you must do what you can, measure the difficulty of the route, and more importantly, understand your own abilities.

The boss of Admin stated that the "human" factors include: "Hiking knowledge, physical fitness, experience, equipment preparation and application... the ability of fellow travelers is also one of the considerations. According to "clothing (such as clothing, equipment), food (such as staple food, reserve) Food, emergency food, replenishment methods), accommodation (such as camping, camping skills, long-term stay in the wild), travel (such as itinerary planning, activity methods)" to consider arrangements, if you find that the route is too difficult, you must change the itinerary. Don't force it out.

"

If you find that the route is too difficult, please don't force it.

Please cherish nature

The three major factors of "Heaven, Earth, and People" can influence each other. The Admin boss recommends that novice hikers enroll in a mountain art course recognized by Hong Kong or follow a truly reliable experience, and do not go up the mountain alone.

He believes that it is risky to team up with strangers in online hiking groups, and he recommends meeting with experienced mountain friends who have met in reality.

He said: "The more you prepare, the less the risk. This is the basic rule of outdoor activities."

In addition to safety, mountain hikers should protect the countryside environment. One is to abide by country park laws and the other is to be humble and cherish the nature.

The Admin boss said: "Nature is shared by everyone and everyone can enjoy it. Please cherish and cherish it. Before each action, think about whether it will affect nature or destroy the enjoyment of others. Don't just start from your own perspective. "Take your own trash and take it away" may seem simple, but in reality, many citizens cannot do it. This is too selfish."

The Facebook page "Mountain News Library" has been following the accidents and trends of hiking in Hong Kong. Their Admin boss expressed the hope that mountain hikers will have a humble heart towards nature.

The boss of Admin hopes that hikers will take away their own garbage, including peels, eggshells and tissues; don’t attack or feed wild animals, don’t pick plants, don’t do graffiti on the mountain and leave names; and respect other people when hiking. , Don’t talk about it in the suburbs or rural areas, and avoid using speakers to broadcast songs.

He sighed: "Under the epidemic, there is not much room for citizens to "suffer". Please be a person who truly loves the mountain and cherish the few spaces where everyone can breathe back."

Please take the tissue away and don't leave it on the mountain.

I hope that veterans will remind novices

In the wave of national hiking, the Admin boss also hopes that the veterans who love nature and hikers will speak more, "If you see a mountain friend doing improper behavior, you can kindly remind the other person to prevent the other person from making mistakes again and again. Don't underestimate it. The ability of every mountain friend, as long as everyone can cooperate well, promote the correct hiking attitude, and affect life with life, it will definitely change the recent situation." He also suggested that the Fishery and Conservation Department strengthen law enforcement and prosecute acts of sabotage in the countryside. The public promoted "Wuhenshan Forest".
