[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Ngong Ping Viewing Point (Updated Apr)

#Autumn Good Places #Hiking Thank you to my friend for taking me to Ang Ping, Ma On Shan. The scenery is really beautiful! The road is not difficult to walk, but when you go up, you can see the blue sky and an endless grassland. Although it is very windy, it is really moving to see this screen! 😭 It's rare that there are no clouds today, plus there are relatively few people on weekdays ~~ Although I didn't walk into Sai Kung this time, I was very satisfied (mentally!) ❤️ #Ma On Shan #Ma On Shan On Ping #On Ping #original photo #nofilter #blue sky #cloudless #hiking #hiking #hongkong hiking destination #big grass #nature #friendship #foodiewendyhk #relax #holiday

| Hong Kong's "Altay" Alpine Meadow. 📍 Ma On Shan Ngong Ping Viewing Point | Hong Kong's "Altay" Alpine Meadow ✨ Highlights: ✔ Alpine meadow + stunning views - known as "Hong Kong's Altay," a 400-meter high-altitude plain with 360° overlooking Sai Kung and the peaks of Ma On Shan. ✔ Paragliding mecca - you can often see paragliders soaring in the sky against a backdrop of rolling mountains, a truly breathtaking scene. ✔ Beginner-friendly hike - 1-hour climb to the top, along stone steps and dirt roads, suitable for light hikers. 📌 Tips: Best time: Early morning (high chance of sea of clouds) or evening (sunset + city lights gradually brighten). Transportation: Taxi from Ma On Shan Station to the "Ma On Shan Country Park" starting point (about HKD 50), or take village bus No. NR84. Hidden photo spot: The giant rock on the right side of the viewing platform is less crowded and offers layered views of the grassland and the sea. Note: Some sections of the trail can be muddy after rain, so it is recommended to wear non-slip hiking shoes (such as GORE-TEX material).

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer (April-May), a large green grassland will appear on the Ngong Ping Grassland in Sai Kung. The Ngong Ping Grassland is 400 meters above sea level. Standing on the grassland, you can overlook the entire Sai Kung Sea, Shelter Bay, Sai Kung Sea and Pak Sha Bay on the right. The area is not too big, you can see everything at a glance; it is not too small, you can run until you are tired. I like to lie quietly on the grass, looking up at the ever-changing clouds, and chatting about the trivialities of life. Nature has this kind of power that allows people to naturally unload all their burdens. When you get tired of lying down, you can run on the grass. When you get tired of running, you can sit on the grass and look at the sea view. You will be so happy that you will forget what year it is. At this time when the grassland is at its most prosperous, the cattle also come out to join in the fun. I really like that Hong Kong is a place where animals and humans live in peace.❤️ path: 1: Start from Ma On Shan, stop at the Heng On Estate or Yiu On Estate bus stop, and walk along the Liang You Road next to the roundabout of Ma On Shan Road to the trail entrance next to the Ma On Shan Barbecue Site - Ngong Ping Grassland - Tai Shui Tseng - Sai Kung 2: Take NR84 from Suncity Bus Terminal to Ma On Shan Country Park Station, walk along the road to the entrance of the picnic trail next to the Ma On Shan barbecue site - Ngong Ping Grassland - Tai Shui Tseng - Sai Kung 3: Start from Sai Kung (across the road from Sai Kung Market) and take the green minibus No. 3 to get off at the roundabout at "Beigangao", and start walking along the uphill road (there will be a toilet after going uphill, you can solve it first🙈) - Ngong Ping Grassland - Ma On Shan Village, take the village bus. (Sometimes you have to wait a long time for the village bus to come. If you want to walk to the city center, you have to walk along the road all the way, which is so far 😮💨) I tried walking all the way to Kam Ying Court once, and my legs were numb 😂. Of course, you can also call a taxi.😇) 4: Shuilangwo - Bent Mountain - Dajinzhong (you can take four routes without passing Dajinzhong, which are easier to walk) - Ngong Prairie - Dashuijing - Saigon (This route is relatively long and requires a lot of energy, so you need to do it according to your ability) 🌟🌟🌟 The buses that pass Shui Lang Wo Station are 99 and 299X. Remember to walk towards Sai Kung after getting off the bus, and then walk towards Kei Ling Ha Lo Wai BBQ Site and go up along Section 4 of the MacLehose Trail. This is not the direction near Shui Lang Wo public toilet.) #Ang Ping Grassland #Sai Kung Good Places #Weekend Good Places #Hiking Good Places

Went for a hike in Sai Kung over the weekend. This is a short hike from Sai Kung city centre to Ngong Ping Viewing Point. The hike took around 1 and a half hours one-way. The way up was quite steep but the view at the viewing point was worth the effort. There were some paraglided actions at the viewing platform too. Treat yourself with some good coffee, pastries or seafood when you head back down to Sai Kung!
