At least two people were airlifted to hospital in the past two days after falling ill while hiking in Hong Kong, with a 17-year-old Singaporean girl discharged and the other dying.
The teenager was flown to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai on Saturday morning after vomiting and experiencing chills while hiking on Lion Rock, a 495-metre peak.
In a separate incident, a middle-aged man suddenly felt unwell and collapsed while hiking with a friend of a similar age near Ha Miu Tin, Wu Kau Tang, in Plover Cove Country Park, Tai Po, according to police on Sunday.
