We hiked up the 4 km trail to the top of Praying Mantis, or Tang Lang, Mountain on Thursday. It's a moderately strenuous hike to get to the top, and there are groves of lychee trees along the way. Red eyed bulbuls, cuckoos, and a few other species of birds were to be seen on the way. True to its name, we found a foam nest of the praying mantis on a lychee tree at the base of the mountain. At the top, I found an impressive toad, and wish to rename the mountain "toad mountain". The mountain rises to 430 meters above sea level. We even saw a cute snail on the trail. See photos below.
