It is a medium to high difficulty route: 1. Starting point to the summit: Go up the mountain along the path next to the basketball court in Fengji Township. The initial section is wooden stairs and loess gravel road. You need to wear non-slip hiking shoes and bring gloves. 2. Double Peak Challenge: First climb the secondary peak "Jigong Mountain" (374 meters above sea level) to overlook the 360-degree view of Yuen Long Plain and Nam Sang Wai Wetland; then climb the main peak "Guijiao Mountain" (585 meters above sea level) to overlook the Shenzhen skyline and Deep Bay. 3. Relax at the end: Go down the mountain and connect to Fanjin Highway. You can go to Jiaojing Store for supplies or take public transportation back home. ✨ Must-see highlights - Miscanthus Secret Land: In autumn, the road from the main peak to Luotianding is covered with golden Miscanthus that stretches like waves, comparable to the scenery of Dadong Mountain. - Stone formation wonders: The "stone skylights" and giant rocks around the secondary peak are popular check-in spots for photography enthusiasts. - Sunset Sanctuary: At dusk, the main peak offers a wide view, allowing you to capture the magical moment of the sunset over Victoria Harbour and the lights of Shenzhen. 💡 Useful Tips - There are no shade trees or supply stations along the way, so you must bring at least 2 liters of water and energy foods. - Avoid the scorching sun at noon. It is recommended to set out early in the morning or after 3 pm and descend before sunset. - Due to illegal off-road vehicle activities, the road surface on some sections has become slippery, so please drive with caution. This magnificent mountain trail, known as the "Hong Kong Alps", redefines the hiking experience in Hong Kong with its unparalleled panoramic views. Are you brave enough to conquer the skyline?
