Sunset Peak

Getting There - Tung Chung bus terminus then bus Attractions - sunset peak Did a hike from Pak Kung Au to Sunset Peak to Mui Wo village. The starting ascent was pretty tough considering my current fitness levels. Steps and more steps. Although it’s just a 500m vertical elevation of climb over ~2.5k. This took about an hour with short breaks. The mid section was much easier and pretty nice to hike, but the views were obstructed but the foggy and overcast weather. Mui Wo was a quaint little village, something different to the bustling city of Hong Kong.

Located south of Lantau Island, Sunset Peak is the third highest mountain in Hong Kong at 869 metres above sea level. In recent years, many photographers have taken pictures on the mountain, and the mountain under the lens is covered with golden miscanthus, attracting a large number of climbers, especially young people to go up the mountain to see its scenery. Our journey was mainly photography and climbing secondary, so I chose the section from Bogong Pass to Lantou Ying to turn back and forth, because of its short distance and can cover most of the beautiful scenery. However, the physical strength of our colleagues and friends was quite different, and there were many climbers, so we ended up spending a total of 2 hours going up the mountain and more than 1 hour descending. Readers with better physical strength believe that it can be completed in a shorter time. Although Sunset Peak has a certain height, the road section is paved with complete steps, which is still relatively easy. Take advantage of autumn and winter to climb or shoot with friends here, which is a lot of fun. Climbers can take buses 11, 23 and 3M from Tung Chung Bus Terminal and have the driver stop at Pak Kung Pass. If the number of people permitting, you can also take a taxi from Lantau Island to Pak Kung Pass at Tung Chung MTR Station Exit D. #Sunset #Sunset peak

I have hiked sunset peak twice in the last two months; one time it was very cold (7ºc) and the other time it was cold (15ºc) and wet (raining near the peak). Nonetheless, both times were very enjoyable. I love starting from Nam Shan Campsite, and hiking up to Sunset Peak, via Yi Tung Shan, and through all of the huts which are built just below Sunset Peak. Then, we finish with the descent to Pak Kung Au, total of 6.6 to 7.3 km (not sure with the GPS…). You could continue and hike up to Lantau Peak (another challenging hike, but very rewarding with amazing scenery!!) #hiking #sunsetpeak #lantau #大嶼山 #離島好去處

Lantau Peak is the third highest mountain in Hong Kong, attracting hikers from all walks of life to visit. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery and wild plants along the way, you can also personally experience the gentleness of the silvergrass that blankets the hills beneath your feet. First Stop: Pak Kung Au The journey begins at Pak Kung Au, located between Phoenix Mountain and Lantau Peak. Here, you can first take in the distant views of Tung Chung to the north and Cheung Sha to the south. Then, follow the Phoenix Trail up to Lantau Peak. This two-kilometer uphill path is the only ascent on the trip, challenging your stamina. Although it may be tough, most of the path is shaded by trees until the large trees are gradually replaced by shrubs and the view opens up, indicating that you are approaching the highest point of this section. Second Stop: Lantau Peak At Lantau Peak, the magnificent views of bays and beaches are unobstructed. The silvergrass growing along the mountain path sways in the wind, a famous sight of the Lantau highlands. Third Stop: Lan Tau Camp Upon reaching the peak, a gentle breeze blows as you pause here for a moment to gaze at the little stone houses scattered among the mountains. At dusk, this is an excellent spot for taking beautiful Instagram photos. Fourth Stop: Sunset Peak Continue forward, passing by old mountain cottages, and then bypass the northern foothills of Sunset Peak, known as the ninth highest mountain in Hong Kong. Fifth Stop: Luk Tei Tong Watch Tower After crossing the vast picnic area of South Mountain, turn left into the ancient trail. Soon, you will see the historical site built in the early 20th century—the Luk Tei Tong Watch Tower. Sixth Stop: Mui Wo Ferry Pier Walk along the country path for about 15 minutes, and you will arrive at the center of Mui Wo. Getting to Pak Kung Au Take bus no. 3M, 11, 11A, or 23 from the Tung Chung Town Centre Bus Terminus outside Exit B of the Tung Chung MTR station to the starting point at Pak Kung Au. Leaving from Mui Wo Ferry Pier Take bus no. 3M from the Mui Wo Bus Terminus to the Tung Chung MTR station. From Mui Wo, take a ferry to Central.

#trekking #hongkong Discover one of Hong Kong's most rewarding hiking experiences as you ascend Sunset Peak (大東山), the third-highest peak in Hong Kong. Rising to a lofty elevation of 869 meters, Sunset Peak promises panoramic vistas, invigorating trails, and a dramatic weather tableau that combine to make this trek a must for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. To begin your journey from Hung Hom Station, take the MTR towards Lantau Island. Transfer to the Tung Chung Line and alight at Tung Chung Station. From there, board bus 3M or 11 towards Tung Chung Town Centre and disembark at Pak Kung Au. The trailhead to Sunset Peak rests a few steps away from the bus stop, marking the start of your adventure through Hong Kong's verdant landscapes. The trek to the peak is a test of endurance and spirit but promises unsurpassed joys upon reaching the crest. Spanning a distance of approximately 6-7 km one way, the hike could typically take around 4 to 5 hours to complete, depending on your pace and fitness level. Along the way, you'll navigate through well-maintained paths punctuated by wooden steps, rugged trails, and lush shrubbery that tell stories of the peak's rich biodiversity. The weather at Sunset Peak can shift rapidly from sunny blue skies to cool winds and mystical fog, adding a touch of unpredictability to the journey. It's wise to prepare for a variety of conditions—dress in layers, and do not forget to carry a waterproof jacket, as the higher elevations could surprise you with sporadic rain showers or dense mist. Once at the summit, hikers are often treated to a breathtaking sight, especially during sunset hours, earning the peak its name. The change from day to dusk heralds a drop in temperature and the magical transformation of the sky into a tapestry of warm hues. The descent, while easier on the lungs, still demands caution due to the potentially slippery path from the ever-changing weather. Despite the challenge, hikers are often found to be reluctant when leaving, already nostalgic for the sublime tranquility of the peak's soothing embrace and the pure exhilaration that comes with conquering one of Hong Kong's most luminous treasures. Remember to bring ample water, snacks for energy, and don't rush the experience—Sunset Peak is not just a trek but a symphony of nature's marvels best savored one step at a time.
