Top of Hong Kong: Tai Mo Shan
Rising 957 metres above sea
level, Tai Mo Shan is Hong Kong¡¦s highest peak and is
visible from many parts of the city. Despite its elevation,
Tai Mo Shan is accessible by foot, with several hiking
trails meandering around the summit. This time we chose the
easiest route to climb Tai Mo Shan.

| The route we chose this time is the
easiest route. All are made of cement roads and the slope is
relatively gentle. But it is also a traffic lane, so you
need to pay attention cars. |

this parking lot, cars can park here. |
| There are snack kiosk and toilet

for the snack kiosk for this trip. |

Country Park. There are two roads up to the mountainside of
Tai Mo Shan, one is the MacLehose Trail, which has more
steps and mountain roads; the other is to go up the Tai Mo
Shan Road, the whole way is a cement road. Since we chose
the easiest route this time, we will continue to walk up Tai
Mo Shan Road. |

blocked by trees, but don't worry, you can walk up a little
bit and reach the viewing platform, it will be surprised. |

buildings is the end of this trip to Tai Mo Shan. It seems
that there is still a long way to go. |
| When you come to a small hill, you
can go straight up to Tai Mo Shan picnic site No. 4, which
is also the location of the observation deck. |
| Observation deck. It overlooks Yuen
Long, Kam Tin, Pat Heung, and even farther away you can see
Shenzhen, which is very spectacular. |
| This is one of the popular hot
point in Tai Mo Shan. |

are prohibited entering. |
| In the direction of Tsuen Wan and

of the most popular places to take picture. |
Weather radar station, the
end of this trip to Tai Mo Shan, and then return to the same
way.

and a half hours to arrive at the weather radar station
(including rest and taking pictures).
Hope
that next time we can try other routes to climb Tai Mo Shan.
