【Hong Kong Hiking】Lion Rock: Overlooking the Kowloon Peninsula🇭🇰 Standing at the edge of the sea⛰️

You can enjoy the skyline of the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island 🏙️ here Looking on the other side, you can still see the Shing Mun River extending from Shatin to Snake Harbor! Whether it is the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the golden afterglow of sunset, it will leave an unforgettable impression here. This combination of natural and urban elements undoubtedly makes Mount Lion one of the most unique and beautiful viewing spots in Hong Kong🌇📷 Looking at the familiar lights of thousands of houses 🌃 from the overlook The song "Under the Lion's Rock" sung by Rowan came to mind unconsciously The trip will start at Tin Ma Yuen Shopping Centre, navigate Google Maps to “Lion Rock Hike Start” and walk along the pedestrian footbridge for about 20 minutes to see the entrance to Lion Rock Park. 🧗 This climbing route is a bit steep, with quite a lot of stairs. Remember to bring enough water. In case you don't bring enough, it's best to buy it at the supermarket or soda machine in Tianma Yuen Shopping Centre. The journey up the mountain takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. 🥾⏱️ No supplies along the way, but you will pass several pavilions, such as the return pavilion, wind and rain pavilion, etc. To the summit, which is 495 meters above sea level, you can see almost 360 degrees of spectacular views under Mount Lion, giving you a glimpse of Hong Kong’s prosperity. You will see the old town and new business districts on the Kowloon Peninsula intertwined, creating a unique urban look. On the opposite side of Hong Kong Island, taller skyscrapers and green hills contrast sharply. When you go down the hill along the MacLeod Trail, you will pass the Lion Pavilion, with a couplet on it: Climbing the scenery of the peninsula halfway up the mountain, lingering in the Lion Garden for a moment, the beauty of the pavilion seems to sum up the harvest of this trip. There is a shop next to the kiosk. You can take a break here. 🏪 After that, walk along the road to the city for about 1 hour to reach Wong Tai Sin Station. You may wish to taste some authentic Hong Kong cuisine in Wong Tai Sin as the end of this hiking trip. 🍜🥟 #HongKong #Lion #Hiking #NaturalScenery #CityScenery
