[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Lion Rock (Updated May)

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear Lion Rock? : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Lion Rock is located in the central part of Kowloon. It is famous for its lion-shaped mountain and is one of the famous landmarks of Hong Kong. This place not only has magnificent natural scenery, but is also a spiritual symbol in the hearts of many Hong Kong people. For this outing, the travelers (my good friend and I) set out from Lok Fu Tei Station, planning to fully experience the charm of Lion Rock. 🚶♂️ Depart for Lion Rock Walk along the direction of the bamboo garden and arrive at Jinzhuli in Tianma Garden. Follow the signs and enter the Lion Rock Country Park. At the entrance to the park, one can see a beautifully paved stone staircase with iron handrails to make the climb easier. There were pavilions at the beginning of the journey for people to rest, which made him feel very considerate. 🧗♂️ Climbing process On the way up the mountain, you will often encounter forks. These paths connect different paths up the mountain, but you only need to follow the best paved road. Although the road to Lion Rock is mainly stairs, which takes a lot of energy, the scenery along the way made us walk to the Return Pavilion, which is about 300 meters high, without realizing it. This is a designated resting spot for many tourists and also offers spectacular viewing locations. Stop at the Return Pavilion to replenish some water and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. At this time, the sun is slowly setting in the west, and the golden sunlight is shining on the Kowloon Peninsula, making people intoxicated and addicted. 🌆 Night view charm Stay a while to enjoy the magnificent night view. As the sky gradually darkens, the city lights gradually light up, and the night view of Kowloon is as bright as the stars. Standing on the top of Lion Rock and overlooking this prosperous land, I can't help but feel a lot of emotions. This kind of scenery makes people deeply appreciate the unique charm of Hong Kong, as if all the fatigue has disappeared. 🌟 Conclusion The outing to Lion Rock not only allowed me to enjoy the fun of hiking, but also allowed me to experience the unique culture and beauty of Hong Kong. The natural scenery and the city night view here complement each other, making it an unforgettable experience. If you also want to experience this unique charm, you might as well come to Lion Rock in person and enjoy the beauty of Hong Kong! #outing #dating #beautifulhongkongview

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

I've heard the golden song "Under the Lion's Rock" dozens of times since I was a child, but I've never been to "Lion's Rock". I'll take advantage of the Easter holiday to go again! From Wong Tai Sin Temple, go up the hill along Sha Tin Au Road towards Sha Tin Au Estate. When you see Fa Tsang Temple, turn left towards Section 5 of the MacLeod Trail At one hour, we will reach the top of Mount Lion. There is a wooden board on the top that reads "Lion Rock." 495 meters high" is perfect for taking pictures📸, when you come to the top of the mountain, you can see the whole old airport runway, Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, East Kowloon, Central Kowloon You can come after lunch, seriously convenient 👍🏻 #family good place #local tour #Hong Kong good place

#HongKongGood Places Although the weather is cloudy, I went hiking Location: Mount Lion Country Park Difficulty: 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Selling point: Urban green state, no need to travel

Mount Lion is no stranger to Hong Kong people, but the number of times I have climbed Mount Lion can be counted on one hand. The second time I went up Mount Lion, I chose the second route, which is a little shorter. Originally wanted to watch the sunset on Lion Hill, but Uncle Sun hid and only saw the golden sunset, but saw the beautiful night view of Hong Kong! In addition to the night view from the top of Hong Kong, the night view of Hong Kong from Mount Lion is another flavor! (The premise is to walk up the Lion Rock) 😂 haha ​​😂 Route: Lok Fu MTR Station 👉🏻 Take the 7M bus (1 stop off - Tin Hong Court get off) You can walk without taking the bus, I'm too lazy to walk and choose to take the bus 👉🏻 Up to Lion Hill Country Park (there are signs up to Lion Hill at the park entrance) Time: 15:00 Departure from Lok Fu 19:30 Leave at Tsz Wan Shan #HongKong #hiking #Lion #night view #photo #beautiful scenery #picking destination

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

The Japanese have Mount Fuji🗻, the Swiss have the Alps🏔️, the Taiwanese have Mount Ali🌄, Hong Kong people have a mountain that belongs to everyone, it is the Lion Mountain that represents the struggle spirit of every generation of Hong Kong people🤗 Suggested tour route👇 Wong Tai Sin --> Sha Tin Au Road --> Lion Pavilion --> Lion Tail --> Lion Head --> Return Pavilion --> Mount Lion Country Park --> Lok Fu So what is special about Mount Lion? 1. Unique appearance🦁 (The reason why Lion Hill is called Lion Hill is because of its unique mountain scenery. There is a 90-degree cliff at the lion's head, really like a lion🦁 guarding the Hong Kong people below the mountain) 2. One of the nearest urban country parks😁 (suburban and urban areas can be only a line difference 😯, a lion 🦁 lying across the Kowloon Peninsula separates Kowloon and New Territories, up to the position of the lion's head, the front can enjoy the Kowloon Peninsula and Victoria Harbor, the back can overlook Shatin Ma On Shan area 👍) 3. The earth is at my feet 🦶 (Although Lion Hill is only 495 meters high, it is enough to contrast with the city below the mountain. Starting from Wong Tai Sin looking at the buildings with dozens of floors 🏙️, looking back at the top of the mountain becomes a small building like a lego, it really feels like the earth is under my feet😌) Tips: Many people think that Lion Hill is very dangerous⚠️, in fact, only talking about the cliff location close to Lion Head, the rest of the route is a normal hiking path, we just pay attention to safety even if the hiker is suitable to come 😉 Finally, I hope this lion 🦁 can continue to guard Hong Kong people, so that Hong Kong can get out of the epidemic as soon as possible 😷 and live a normal life soon 🙏 Want to know more good things to do in Hong Kong?

Two days ago, I took advantage of the good weather and went hiking again. This time I chose Mount Lion in Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon. Since there are many routes to hike Mount Lion, this time we chose the easiest route up the mountain, which is to start from Lok Fu. It only takes half a day to complete the trip, about three to four hours! We started from Lok Fu MTR Station, passed through Tin Ma Yuen to Kim Chuk Lane, and walked all the way up to see the Lion Hill Country Park. The signs along the way were clear, and it was not difficult to walk! Walk for more than an hour to reach the ridge location , you can choose whether to climb to the top depending on your ability, because the road to the top of the lion's head is narrower , need to use both hands and feet, so walk this location to pay attention to safety! From the top of the mountain you can see the whole of Kowloon, and this location is also perfect for watching the sunset, the whole trip we walked in three hours to complete, is considered a moderately difficult hiking route!  #springtrip #hiking route recommendation #high altitude viewing #local tour

The distance to Wang Fu Stone is not hard, generally those who have exercised should feel more relaxed, up just to see the sunset, very beautiful, can start from the Red Plum Valley barbecue area, the easiest return trip can be turned back along the way to Tai Wai Railway Station, very convenient. #LocalTour

As a Shatin friend, I will definitely walk by Mount Lion and Wangfu Rock You can go to Tai Wai for lunch first, which is directly up the hill from the World Garden. Wangfu Stone is quickly up to, really big yourself of the magic work, photography check-in can not be beat. Although the Lion Hill has about 4 stars, it is not difficult to walk without going up to the Lion's Head. You can see families hiking along the way. It will take about 2~3 hours to reach the top of the mountain, the weather is really unbeatable. The view of the city in the distance is unique. If you have not been can plan down. Because the route is very simple. #LocalTour

#High Altitude Viewing #Local Tour Earlier, I was hiking Mount Lion with my friends. We started from Wong Tai Sin and climbed up the mountain road. It took about 45 minutes to reach the summit of Mount Lion. From a high altitude, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Kowloon Peninsula, Victoria Harbor, and the north shore of Hong Kong Island. It was 3pm, and the whole city was illuminated in a golden yellow by the sunlight. I really love Hong Kong because I have traveled to many different places, but this kind of view can only be found in Hong Kong.

#HikingRouteRecommendation Lion Rock is the representative mountain in Hong Kong. You can start from Lok Fu and go up the mountain through Lion Rock Park to the top of the mountain. There are places to rest along the way. It is far better than the entire Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island, and the scenery is beautiful. 

📍Mount Lion Route: MTR Wong Tai Sin Station › Lion Hill Park › Lion Hill › Wang Fu Shek › Sha Tin Red Plum Valley › MTR Tai Wai Station Chin rating (5 stars is the highest) Recommended: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟 Precautions⚠️ - The whole journey is relatively long about 10 kilometers walk about 5 hours If you are not strong enough can choose to go up and down along the road - Come at dusk to see the sunset Please check the sunset time of the day in advance - Photo spot: Mount Lion Peak ⛰️ Lookout Rock - The scenery along the way is very beautiful😎 You can see the view of Kowloon city #doublechinlife #doublechinlife #chin #holidaygoodplace #event #enjoylife #photo #goodplace #hongkongphoto #hongkong #blogger #igers #hkblogger #traveller #lion #kowloon #lionrock #hiking route recommendation

#Flower Viewing Strategy #Lion Mountain Didn't you expect that you can enjoy flowers on Mount Lion? Yes. In fact, there are opportunities to see flower stands along the way to Mount Lion. Although the weather is overcast these days, it still does not hinder the determination to go up the mountain☺️ After passing the Tsz Wan Shan Bus Terminal, after several steps and ramps, across a patch of small machine forests, a village, finally saw 🌸🌺💐☺️☺️ Although the weather is bad, but when you come up to see some such bright flowers, the mood will be much better, as if the epidemic will always end one day! But look at it, don't pick it 🤣🤣

#Hiking Route Recommendation #Flower Viewing Strategy To see the famous bell flowers, in addition to the mountains and rivers far away to Sai Kung Tai Chun Gai, in fact, there are nearby near Lion Hill! This time we started from Tsz Wan Shan, walked through the prayer ladder to the Kwun Yam Temple, took a breath and then went up to the Lion Pavilion. Start next to the well-connected tofu shop and enter Eason's Trail. Not long after we started, I saw one bell flower after another on the roadside. It was so beautiful! But I don't know if it's rained, some of the flowers fell before they bloomed, and the same tree near the roadside flowers will be less, the other side will be more (hopefully not someone picking flowers 😅) This time the destination is Sin Tin Wai, Shatin, so walk along the Eason Wai Trail to the other side of the mountain, to the canal and then down the mountain, easy to finish! 3 hour walk pace + took infinitely so many photos 👍🏻 #countryside #local tour #Lion Hill #bellflower #winter trip #hiking #country tour

Uncle went to hike Mount Lion last year. The most famous mountain in Hong Kong is Mount Lion! If you want to hike Mount Lion, there are 2 ways to choose from. The first is from Tsz Wan Shan, and the other is up the hill from Bo Kang Village in Sha Tin! When you reach Sha Tin Au, follow the fifth section of the MacLeod Trail uphill and walk up the stairs more than 100 meters high to reach the top! The whole round trip takes 5-6 hours. The weather is really suitable for hiking now. Let's go out and exercise! However, be safe. Even if you reach the top, don't climb the cliff. It's dangerous in case you lose your footing! #wintertrip #countryside #localtrip #where to go in December #hongkong

Mount Lion is 495 meters high, separating Shatin from the city of Kowloon, so the view of the summit is not only the view of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, but also the new town of Shatin and Tung Lo Harbor Today we started from Shatin Au and walked to the top of the MacLeod Trail along the MacLeod Trail to the top of the mountain. The mountain road started to be steep and rugged😣 So it was quite difficult. Once you reached the top of the mountain and saw such a beautiful view, everything was worth it😎 From Lion's Tail to Kowloon Au, the mountain road is still rugged. Often you have to use your hands and feet together. It's really not easy😬 Lion's Head is more crowded and dangerous #winter trip #countryside #where to go in December

Mount Lion 🐯 High altitude 495 meters💦 Difficult: 3 stars Hiking Route: Wong Tai Sin MTR Station -> Sha Tin Au Road -> Fa Tsang Temple -> Lion Peak -> Lion Hill Park -> Tin Ma Court -> Lok Fu MTR Station Because the day started around 8 o'clock, so even on holidays are not super crowded 🥰 I think the hardest is actually only from Wong Tai Sin Station to the gate of Lion Hill, really slope and tired 😿 really admire living in Tsz Wan Shan but insist on walking those grandparents 😿 They are really strong 😩 young people like me can walk to the body sweat 🤣 and really get to the top of the position is the most tired 😹 but really just insist on a beautiful view to see 🥰 go to the top of the mountain looking at the whole Kowloon Peninsula 😻 then you will find Hong Kong d buildings are really very dense 😹 *However, remember to do your best for hiking and exercise☺️ Safety is the most important thing💜 Beauty index: 🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤 #countryside #localtour #wintertrip #where to go in December #where to go on New Year's Day Play #LionMountain

#Good Places to Go in the Suburbs #Local Tours The scenery at the top of Lion Mountain~

I gave two 🌟🌟 to climb the Lion Rock with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children to the top of the mountain. There are monkeys at the foot of the mountain 🐒 ~ The children are so excited to see them 😆 Transportation: Take the minibus from Lok Fu MTR to Lion Rock Park. You can walk there. Features: Close to the city, it is OK to go there after having afternoon tea. Please note that it will be dark very quickly when the sun sets, and it will be much harder to go there when the sun sets. (Prepare a flashlight in advance) #Theme Park Guide #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs #

Hong Kong people must be familiar with Lion Hill, but climbing Lion Hill is my first time I used to hear people say that hiking Lion Hill is dangerous, so this time with a group of friends, a little safer is not dangerous as I imagined. #Outdoor good places
