Edinburgh - Arthur's Seat - 狮子山

Got a couple of days off last week, so I decided to join a friend mountain trekking plus some photographing. It was a struggle going uphill, I had to stop for breath a couple of times and had to tell my friend that I stopped because I would like to take some photographs (I was carrying quite a few kilogrammes of camera equipments lah)! Finally reached the top after half an hour of torture but the reward was absolutely well worth it, the view was amazing!

The mountain is called Arthur's Seat but the Chinese immigrants, mostly from Hong Kong, called it 狮子山. During the summer time, couples of all ages drive half way up the mountain, and then park somewhere out of sight for 'chit chating', very 'romantic'...something like Gasing Hill in PJ. Anyone of you been to Gasing Hill in Petaling Jaya?
