Lion Rock

 Hong Kong’s iconic peak! Lion Rock is located between Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai, on the borderline of Kowloon and New Territories with the peak covers mainly by granite/rocks and the way up are shaded by shrubs.  There are ways and routes to Lion Rock but we took the trail from Hung Mui Kuk Nature Trail to the peak and retraced back to where we started. It’s pretty much just steps to climb all the way up. At the top of the stair section you reach the Hong Kong Water Department substation. Go across it, to the forest, and take the left path to Lion Rock (right path is to Amah Rock 望夫石). It’s steadily uphill until you reach the pavilion. Then turn left and here come the challenging part, the terrain are scrambled, less trees for coverage and at some point you might need to grab the rocks while climbing up. There are couple of false rocks, just keep going, you’ll see the sign “Lion Rock” in no time!  * Distance: approx. 6km round trip * Altitudes: 495m * Time: approx 3.5hrs...
