ok thanks ... how's mobile network coverage in HK trails?

Trails in general got signals. Just don't go inside the jungle (if it's nearby). I don't know if got signals inside because I never tried that, and I don't wish to get lost in a foreign country and becoming headline news there (+ perhaps Singapore as well).

If you are worried, join HK hiking groups to go for hikes.

depends on the location. some places got no signal from hk but chinese :)

trails in hk are well marked. for more popular trails, there are even emergency phone booths at regular intervals.

for tai mo shan, for being the highest peak and in the center of hk, there is a weather station on top with some telecommunication towers.

Please keep a close eye on weather updates. Take proper precautions, food water, dressing to keep warm or cool Depending on season etc. In the open wind chill can beat big factor.

Yes, search in Google and you can find guides to walking around the peak.

I love this photo...

Really describes HK...

Big fashion brand stores... and an old fashion ice cream truck up front. both doing business in the CBD.
