Description
Lion Rock stands at 495 metres and resembles a lion’s head. This hike offers great views and lots of monkeys. The first section of the trail takes you along the Gin Drinkers Line, where Commonwealth troops defended Hong Kong against the Japanese in World War II. The ascent up Lion Rock is more challenging and very steep in parts. Once at the top, look north to see the New Territories and south for views of the Kowloon Peninsula and Victoria Harbour. On a clear day you can see as far as Hong Kong Island.
Useful info
Distance: 7km
Duration: Three to four hours round trip
How to get there: Start at Wong Tai Sin MTR station and head up Sha Tin Pass Road until you reach the start of the trail. The most popular route (3-4 hours) comes full circle and finishes back at the station.
