Hong Kong 🇭🇰｜The sunset easy route only takes 1.5 hours 🌟 - Lion Rock 🦁⛰️

Lion Rock is the most representative mountain in Hong Kong. It is 495 meters high and is located between Kowloon and the New Territories. When you look up in most areas of Kowloon, such as Wong Tai Sin, you can always see this huge lion, which is like a guardian beast, hovering in the center of Hong Kong, overlooking and watching over the whole of Hong Kong. Because Lion Rock is located in the heart of Hong Kong, its convenient geographical location and convenient transportation make it a popular mountaineering spot! There are actually quite a few routes to climb Lion Rock, and climbers can choose different routes and levels of difficulty to challenge according to their abilities. But the easiest and quickest way is to start from Lion Rock Park in Lok Fu, which can be completed in just a morning or afternoon. If you want to watch the sunset and take photos on Lion Rock, you need to allow more time. It is recommended to start at the trail entrance before 3 pm. This time, I will take you on a hike along the best mountain trail. Starting from Lok Fu Tei Station, walk to Tianma Garden in the direction of Zhuyuan. Go straight up Jinzhu Lane and you will see Lion Rock Country Park. Follow the sign outside the park gate and take the stairs on the right outside the park to go up the mountain. The first section of the stone steps is beautifully paved, with iron handrails, and there is a pavilion not far up. There are often forks in the road, connecting branches leading up the mountain from different places, but remember to just follow the most paved road up the mountain. Although the road to and from Lion Rock is mainly stairs, it takes a lot of effort. If you keep walking along the road, you will unknowingly reach the Return Pavilion, which is about 300 meters high. This is a designated resting point and viewing location for the public. If you are not in a hurry, you may as well stop for a while, eat some dry food, drink more water, and walk a longer way! The mountain road from Guihui Pavilion to Shizitou needs to climb nearly 200 meters. Go up along the stone steps, leave the dense forest, and see the wooden railings, then you know you have reached the ridge of Lion Rock. The road on the right is Shizitou. The mountain road to the top is rugged and the stairs are high. The road to the Lion's Head is very narrow, and sometimes you have to use your hands and feet to maintain your balance. It only takes about 30 minutes to climb up the Lion's Head from the Return Pavilion. At this time, the sky on the top of the mountain is gradually turning yellow, indicating that sunset is coming soon! postscript Lion's Head is actually quite windy, but the scenery is open and vast. It is always full of tourists on holiday afternoons, so if you want to come to Lion's Head to watch the sunset and sunrise, it is really a unique experience! At this time, you can put on warm clothes, prepare your tripod and camera for shooting, adjust the angle and wait for the best light. Although Lion Rock is not very big, standing on the high hill, you can see the scenery from Kowloon to Mount Beacon and then to Sha Tin at a glance. You can see the beautiful scenery below the mountain by rotating 360 degrees. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, and the golden sunset illuminates the entire top of Lion Rock. The scenery is often particularly intoxicating when paired with salted egg yolk! #hongkong #hongkonggoodplaces #hongkongcheckin #weekendtrip #trip #nightview #relax #hiking #hikingrouterecommendations #hikinggoodplaces #hikingroute
