Lion Rock

Hong Kong is home to some amazing hiking routes - Lion Rock is probably one of the best! The views from the peak are incredible and look over all of Kowloon with Hong Kong island in the distance. If you go in the afternoon you can catch the sunset which is incredible. After dark the views of the city lights are breathtaking. If you go be sure to bring snacks, water and something warm to wear in the evening. You can take a taxi to the hike starting point at Lion Rock Park Community garden at the back of Lok Fu. The hike itself will take around 1.5 hours up and 1.5 hours back down, offering great views along the way. You might even see some Mk keys if you are lucky! Take note to be very careful at the top, don’t go close to the edge and be safe! #mytravelhacks #mytravelhacks #Derryainsworth #Hongkong

#visithongkong Venture into the untamed beauty of Hong Kong's natural landscape by embarking on the challenging and exhilarating Lion Rock Hike. This iconic trail offers not only a physical adventure but also a profound connection with nature and a chance to witness the city's breathtaking vistas from atop the legendary Lion Rock. My personal account of hiking Lion Rock was made all the more memorable by the unexpected presence of dense fog. As I ascended the trail, the mist slowly enveloped the surroundings, shrouding the landscape in an ethereal ambiance. The fog created an air of mystery, blurring the boundaries between the vibrant city below and the tranquil wilderness above. To embark on the Lion Rock Hike, make your way to Wong Tai Sin MTR station and follow the signs to the trailhead. The hike is challenging, with steep ascents and rugged terrain, but the breathtaking views and the sense of accomplishment make it truly worthwhile.

Although Hong Kong is a small yet bustling city, this place doesn't lack unique country parks and cross-country hiking trails. Located at Kowloon Side, Lion Rock Country Park is one of the world famous sites for both basic hiking and mountain climbing. Once you are at the top of the hill, you'll be awarded for seeing the spectacular HK skyline of HK Island, Kowloon and Shatin district. #tripblazers#本地遊#urbanexplorer#nationalpark

How to get there 📍: take the MTR (metro) to Lok Fu or Wong Tai Sin station, and then walk/ take a taxi to the entrance of the Lion Rock Country Park Length 📏: about 10 km - if you walk the full length it takes about 5 hours Height 🏔️: 495 m - it is considered moderate to above average in terms of difficulty What’s good 😊: bird’s view of the Kowloon district. Easy to take instagramable photos. Pleasant and satisfying walk #lionrock #hiking #walkingtrail

I don't know about you but it brings me great exhilaration when I finished my hike and managed to reach the top of the mountain. It's like I can shout "YES I DID IT!" when I am at the top. In Hong Kong, I was able to hike the Lion Rock peak and it is a mountain that is about 495 meters high. The whole entire climb took about 3-4 hours, depending on your speed. On your way up, you can enjoy nature and have a great view of Hong Kong's city scape. The hike is relatively easy but the trail is not entirely paved so be sure to put on proper shoes. This place is popular amongst the people in Hong Kong so it may get crowded. Just a word of caution, there are monkeys there too so do not feed them. The mountain has a rocky outline of a resting lion, thus the name Lion Rock. Enjoy the view when you're at the top and its great fun hiking with friends. #meethongkong

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! #lionrock #adventure #hiking #nature #yamagirl #sporty

The culture of the Great Han Dynasty is most prominent in the areas surrounding Xuzhou. This place is not only the hometown of Liu Bang, Pei County, but also the world-famous Mount Mangdang. It takes less than an hour to drive from Xuzhou to Mount Mangdang, and less than a hundred kilometers from Mount Mangdang to Shangqiu, so this journey is very relaxing. To make the most of the toll-free policy during the Spring Festival holiday, and to add a bit of a free spirit to the increasingly subdued New Year atmosphere, I decided to hit the road. I spent several days studying the map before leaving, and had several plans in mind, ready to adjust on the fly according to the actual situation. As for time, I wasn't too strict; if I encountered traffic on the way back, waiting for a couple of days was also acceptable. The characteristic of a road trip is just that, casual and free. I started preparing to travel through Kaifeng-Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Laojun Mountain-Sanmenxia-Yuncheng-Hukou Waterfall—Linfen-Jincheng-Yuntai Mountain-Heze-back home. After setting off, I began monitoring the crowd status of these places, and found that Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Laojun Mountain were basically fully booked. So I changed my plan and decided to go to Xuzhou first, and then decide on the rest of the itinerary based on the situation. 1, Xuzhou I set off early in the morning and arrived around 11 o'clock. After getting off the highway and entering Xuzhou city, I passed by Baolian Temple, went to visit it, and planned to eat vegetarian noodles. Baolian Temple covers a large area, about two to three times the size of a typical temple, with the main hall and the Buddha storage pavilion as the core buildings, majestic and gorgeous, very impressive, and also a popular spot for taking photos. Of course, although Baolian Temple is known as the largest temple in the north, it is after all a modern construction. The temple emphasizes grandeur, splendor, and carved beams, but lacks some of the Buddhist spirit and essence. The temple is quite commercialized, with no real monks seen, nor any scenes of monks worshiping and practicing, so it is more appropriate to treat it as a scenic spot that takes advantage of Buddhist opportunities. There were too many people for the vegetarian noodles, so I didn't join the crowd. When there are many people, the mind is not at peace, and eating vegetarian noodles would also be tasteless. Lion Mountain Chu King's Tomb I left Baolian Temple around 2 pm and quickly arrived at Lion Mountain. Since I arrived in the afternoon, I avoided the peak of the crowd and hired a guide to visit the Chu King's underground palace. The underground palace is in a straight line, with small side chambers on both sides, and it's unclear where the main tomb chamber is, as it is an unfinished project. However, a jade burial suit with gold thread was excavated here, which is the most exquisite one in the country. The original is in the Xuzhou Museum (which I couldn't book), but a replica is still in the tomb chamber. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, Cao Cuo's reduction of the fiefs led to the Rebellion of the Seven States, one of which was Chu. Therefore, after the third generation Chu king ascended the throne, the construction of the tomb stopped abruptly in the twenty-first year due to the failure of the rebellion, and the Chu tomb was also built for twenty-one years. Thus, after the Chu king committed suicide, he was hastily buried, and the construction was unfinished. The biggest highlight of the Lion Mountain Chu King's Tomb is not the tomb chamber, but the terracotta warriors. It was after discovering the terracotta warriors that the Chu tomb was identified. After human sacrifices in ancient burials, starting from the Qin Dynasty, pottery figures were used instead. The Qin Dynasty made them at a one-to-one scale, and in the Han Dynasty, they were made at a smaller scale, but the regulations remained the same, and they were much smaller in size, yet equally precious. The Underwater Chariot and Horse Pit Museum is actually the site of the ancient workshop. There are no finished terracotta warriors, but it is possible to reconstruct them based on the scattered parts. The reason it is underwater is that this place was originally an excavation site. After discovering the Chu King's Tomb, it was backfilled with water to create the current lake, which inadvertently created a gimmick of an underwater museum. As for the Han Que Corridor, it is a place where Han tombs and Han que from the Xuzhou area are gathered for exhibition. The carvings on the Han que are exquisite, like comic strips on stone, worthy of careful appreciation. The Chu King's tomb chamber, terracotta warriors, Underwater Museum, and Han Que Corridor are the core essence, and the rest are park-like attractions. The guide was very beautiful, but her overall knowledge of Han culture was insufficient; she only had ample knowledge about the Chu King's tomb, which is not enough. I asked how the Han tombs around Lion Mountain compared to it? She couldn't say which was better or worse, only that Lion Mountain was the best, which made me chuckle! Lion Mountain's excellence is not the Chu King's underground palace, but the jade burial suit with gold thread, terracotta warriors, and Han que. Later, I thought that the Chu King's underground palace here was the smallest and unfinished. After leaving Lion Mountain, I checked into a hotel, and in the evening, I went out for a foodie street tour, ending the day's journey.

I’m here at the top of the most iconic mountain in Hong Kong, the Lion Rock. It represents "the Hong Kong people's 'can-do' spirit". It is located in Sha Tin District, between Kowloon Tong of Kowloon and Tai Wai of the New Territories, and is 495 metres (1,624 ft) high. We spent around 3 hours in total to climb up the mountain, did not through the usual path. #freehotelstay

Lions Rock, located in Hong Kong's New Territories, is a prominent mountain known for its distinctive rock formation resembling a lion's head. Rising 495 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline, Kowloon, and the surrounding countryside. A popular hiking destination, the trail leading to the summit provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Beyond its natural beauty, Lions Rock holds cultural significance, symbolizing strength and resilience in local folklore. Conservation efforts in the area aim to preserve the rich biodiversity, making it a cherished haven for nature lovers and a testament to the harmonious coexistence of urban and natural elements.
