<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi all, I tried to do my usual run today up Changchong Shan however most routes up are either closed or in the process of being closed up by (I am assuming) forestry or council workers. I am guessing this is due to the fire on the top of the hill that destroyed all the vegetation on the east side from the top to about 100m (vertical height) down the east side of the hill. 

I am guessing some idiot took fireworks up there which lit half the hill on fire...

I went around the obstructions, there were 2 on the way up on each path, so I am guessing they really don't want people up there. As I wasn't carrying any matches/lighter/fireworks/glass, I decided I was responsible enough to not light a fire and went to the top. Got some pics on my phone (pretty low quality) here:

One blockage (anyone care to interpret the sign? My Chinese isn't that good yet!)

The top, which used to be a pretty basin filled with grass

One path going down

Another blockage with a more detailed sign (interpreting again anyone?)

The firemen that controlled the fire did a great job as the whole hillside is tinder dry. I am assuming though the tracks will be reopened once they deem the fire risk to be lower?? Hopefully they aren't closed permanently! Any other mountains around in the North that are good for running?]]></content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[First sign is just general, to say forest fire prevention is the responsibility of all. The second sign as much as I can make out is to say it is forbidden to enter the mountain.]]></description>
