Grand Canyon of Hong Kong

Hong Kong has plenty of interesting hikes, but none quite as unique as the Pineapple Mountain Hike. Also known as Por Lo Shan (quite literally Pineapple Mountain in Cantonese), this is the only natural canyon formation in Hong Kong. No wonder it’s often referred to as the “Grand Canyon of Hong Kong”. The off the beaten trail takes you up Pineapple Mountain across Tuen Mun and Lau Fau Shan where you can see panoramic views of the New Territory and Shenzhen, China. And the trail ends on the other side of the mountain where you can see a beautiful sunset in Ha Pak Nai Village. The best way to hike Pineapple Hill in Hong Kong is to take the MRT to Tuen Mun and start your hike nearby by crossing the Pineapple Mountain and finish the hike in Ha Pak Nai Village. And when you look towards the south, you can see the pointy structure on top of Castle Peak. The pointy structure is a transmitting station. Also, you can see a trail zigzagging on the mountains between where you are and Castle Peak. So if you have time, you can follow the trail and hike south and reach the top of Castle Peak. #hike #adventure
