Ma On Shan Country Trail

Ma On Shan Country Trail combines natural landscapes, geological wonders, and historical relics, making it an ideal hiking route for intermediate hikers. Spanning Ma On Shan and Sai Kung districts, the trail offers breathtaking mountain views, unique red soil formations, and a distant view of the Pat Sin Leng mountain range. The summit of Ma On Shan, named for its saddle-like shape, is steep yet offers stunning vistas that are truly invigorating. Along the way, hikers can explore remnants of Hong Kong's mining history, including old mine entrances and iron ore relics, providing a glimpse into the city's industrial past. During spring and summer, wildflowers bloom along the trail, creating a picturesque scene against the blue sky and mountain shadows—perfect for photography and sightseeing. Compared to popular spots like Lion Rock or Victoria Peak, Ma On Shan is quieter and more pristine, ideal for those seeking tranquility and a deeper connection with nature. This trail is not just about hiking; it's a profound experience to rejuvenate the soul and uncover the hidden natural beauty of Hong Kong.
