A Singaporean teen studying in Hong Kong was airlifted to a hospital after falling ill while hiking with her friends on Lion Rock.
According to Hong Kong media outlet The Standard, emergency services were alerted in the morning of Oct 10 after the teen became severely unwell near the mountain summit.
The 17-year-old, a student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, told Sing Tao Headline that it was her first time hiking Lion Rock.
She said she and two female classmates had set out from Tsz Wan Shan around 5am in hopes of catching the sunrise at the peak, but she admitted they weren't fully prepared for the cold temperatures.
After spending about an hour in strong, cold winds near the summit, she reportedly began shivering violently and subsequently started vomiting.
According to the South China Morning Post, the police received a report from the mother of one of the three hikers at about 6.50am.
A rescue helicopter was dispatched, and the teen was taken to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai for medical attention.

一名在香港留学的新加坡少女在狮子山与朋友徒步旅行时突发疾病，随后被空运至医院。
据香港媒体《英文虎报》报道，10月10日上午，这名青少年在山顶附近突然感到身体极度不适，紧急救援部门接到报警。
这位17岁的香港理工大学学生告诉《星岛日报》，这是她第一次攀登狮子山。
她说，她和两位女同学凌晨5点左右从慈云山出发，希望在山顶看到日出，但她承认她们并没有为寒冷的气温做好充分准备。
据报道，她在山顶附近强劲的寒风中待了大约一个小时后，开始剧烈颤抖，随后开始呕吐。
据《南华早报》报道，警方于早上6点50分左右接到三名登山者中一名登山者母亲的报案。
救援直升机被派往现场，这名青少年被送往湾仔律敦治医院接受治疗。
