LION ROCK
WILD FACTOR
★★★☆☆
For those who thought The Peak was the most dramatic summit looming over Victoria Harbour, think again. There is a roaring lion to north.
It may not be as well known, but the Lion Rock is right up there in terms of grandeur. Conquer this rugged ridge and one will witness some of Hong Kong’s finest views. Feel the intense sprawl of Kowloon and enjoy the iconic backdrop of HK Island behind. Meanwhile a gaze round the other side reveals Sha Tin Valley and the expansive hills of the New Territories. Not only is being at the top incredible, but the walking to be had either side is most enjoyable.
Mid afternoons make an ideal time to set off, ensuring cooler temperatures and sunset vistas from the summit. This an all year round hike and can be enjoyed in most weather conditions. Particularly great on sunny days or days with good visibility.
