Trip Description
The Castle Peak area is an area of bald. It does not bear dense forest as many other mountain ranges do. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in WWII, Japanese troop came here and harvested the wood for construction. The land was then deforestized. Half a century later, this naked area has been severely eroded. Forest has gone, gullies and sandy soil have left.
