We can go to the Ngong Ping Youth Hostel and stay there for 2 nights, walking all the other trails in Ngong Ping and the Buddha. I also want to climb it first before night hiking it.
This is the hostel...

Then, on the final night, we make our summit bid and go home and sleep.
I also think i want proper maps for this. The one on the hiking books are not detailed enough.
I'm talking about 1:20000 maps (at least one, the rest can be photocopied).
OR...
whatever, so long as it doesn't involve staying outdoors, breaking any regulations, letting my dad to go and not scouting the area (but not necessarily going up the hill, just getting used to the path) beforehand. Also, I'm not going to carry very much this time (for the hike), just anything essensial.
I understand that most expeditions will not know the area well before a venture. However, I do want to be safe and neither do I want to be leashed around not knowing anything.
I also actually want to stay on the summit for as long as possible, but not for the whole night.
Finally, lantau peak may be the highest, but not the best. I would give Tai Dong Shan a shot if it was a misty day. Or even just the peak (the real one...not the peak galleria). I've tried that.
