The three little boars of Lung Fu Shan

I began my weekly Morning Trail hike on Saturday afternoon expecting it to be packed with hikers as usual. However, besides the occasional runner that whizzed past, there was absolutely no one. Once I reached The Peak, I stopped to take a photo of the skyline as usual before making my way back down. Just as I thought that I would have to hike up again the next day–hopefully with better luck in finding someone or something to capture–I walked into the family of three.

Lung Fu Shan Country Park–which translates into Dragon Tiger Mountain–although has no dragons or tigers, is the home to a family of wild boars who very often walk down onto the main trail and pose for selfies unfazed by us hikers.
