Hong Kong hiking dream

Ma on Shan peak. With a height of 702 metres (2,303 ft), it stands among the ten highest mountains in Hong Kong. The mountain borders Sha Tin and Tai Po districts. This is one of the best hikes I’ve done in Hong Kong and it is really worth you doing it. It is best to start the hike at Ma On Shan BBQ site. There the trail leads up on the ‘family trail’ This will lead tp what looks like a dead end, ignore this and hop the fence. The real hike will begin . It starts off easy enough, with muddy but well defined path through the trees and vegetation. The trees disappear and make way for lush green vegetation and mountainous vista ahead of you. Don’t stop, just keep going forward. The trail was excellent, the wind blowing and the fresh air around you. Invigorating Keep going up the path, youll come to a dead end and a barrier. Igonore this, hop over it and continue going up. It gets steeper and more challenging as you go up but it;ll be worth it. The views also get better and better as you go. The trail leads to what is known as Pyramid Peak, im unsure why I guess it kind of looks like a pyramid (maybe). What do you think? The views from the top are simply awesome, and well worth the challengin climb. You’ll be glad you did it To end the hike follow the signs and go back to a village and get the bus to Sai Kung. from there you can get a bus back into the city. #hkinsider #hongkong #hiking #nationalpark
