[2025 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Mount Parker Rd (Updated Aug)

Feel the history and prosperity of Hong Kong, and you can see many historical relics here. The Red House is now a Grade II historic building and a biodiversity centre. From Taikoo to Tai Fung Au on Mount Parker, there was Asia's earliest cable car system, but unfortunately only the base remains today. As for the wartime stove that looks like a cauldron, it was built by the government between 1938 and 1939 for cooking during the war. Friends who like hiking and history may come here to take a look at the whole picture. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Good Places to Go in Hong Kong #Good Places to Go for Parents and Children Sometimes you can see many small animals, such as groups of wild boars, squirrels, and birds...

Transportation: Start from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station and head towards Mount Parker Road.

The Quarry Bay Tree Study Trail is located on Mount Parker in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, connecting Mount Parker Road and Kornhill Garden. It is 1.1 kilometers long. The tree study trail is planted with different plants such as Camellia oleifera, Red Bean and so on. In February every year, you can also find many bell flowers on the mountain. In addition, along the study trail, you will find stoves and warehouses left over from the war. It is a hiking trail where you can appreciate the natural ecology and learn about history and culture at the same time. Take Exit A of Quarry Bay MTR Station and walk for about 5 minutes to the entrance of Mount Parker Road Nature Trail. Follow the clear signs and continue walking for 15 minutes up the slope until you reach the Linbian Biodiversity Conservation Center. Afterwards, you can return to Mount Parker Road and enter the entrance of the Quarry Bay Tree Study Trail.

Hiking at Mount Pina｜The Red House at Mount Parker. Wild boars are on the prowl. Mount Pina Lookout Mount Bina, also known as Mount Bila, is located in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, between Jardine's Lookout and Mount Parker, with an altitude of 435 meters. The northern part of the mountain belongs to Tai Tam Country Park (the Quarry Bay extension), while the southern part belongs to Tai Tam Country Park. There is an observation deck on the top of the mountain, from which you can overlook the Tai Tam Reservoir and the mountains in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island. Actually, my hiking route this time did not end at Mount Pina, because I encountered heavy fog halfway, and for safety reasons I had to stop at Mount Pina! This trip really made me realize the truth that “if the mountain doesn’t move, the road will move; if the road doesn’t move, people will move”! Transportation to Mount Pina: This time, the Mount Pina hiking route will depart directly from Exit A of Quarry Bay MTR Station, so there is no need to take other means of transportation! Summary of walking route: Quarry Bay > Mount Parker Road Nature Trail > Mount Parker Red House (Linbian Biodiversity Nature Education Centre) > Tai Fung Au Pavilion > Mount Beacon Viewing Platform (return along the original route) The whole journey took about 3 hours and 44 minutes to complete! Small thoughts: This hike not only made me realize the truth that "if the mountain doesn't move, the road will move; if the road doesn't move, people will move", but also taught me that "one should know when to advance and retreat". The most important thing when hiking is safety. In addition to not being able to see the scenery due to heavy fog, the most important thing is that we may not be able to see the road ahead, so we chose to end the trip early! The most regrettable thing was the heavy fog. This route originally had 360-degree scenery, but then it became 360-degree fog! Starting from Quarry Bay, the trail along the Mount Parker Road Nature Trail to Mount Beina is very easy to walk, with many rest areas and multiple routes to choose from. You can join other hiking routes at any time according to your personal preferences. It is very suitable for beginners!

#High-altitude viewing #Local travel Route: Wong Nai Chung Gap - Admiralty Trail - Little Horse Hill - Mount Parker Road Starting from Wong Nai Chung Gap, follow the Admiralty Trail towards Mount Parker. The Admiralty Trail was the trail where the former Governor of Hong Kong, Clementi, rode for leisure time. It is the only hiking trail in Hong Kong with road signs. Then we continued to Xiaomashan and finally went down the mountain along Mount Parker Road. The route is not dangerous, but climbing is required from time to time, so beginners should be more careful.

This time we walked a relaxing and high-altitude hiking route😎 Starting from Quarry Bay Municipal Building, we went up the mountain along Berkshire Hill Road. There are concrete ramps all the way, a road that both adults and children can handle🌳 Most of the time along the road, there are trees on the left and right sides, not too sunny 🌴 However, be careful that this section of the road will be wild boars at any time, we do not feed his land 🐖 It is very dangerous It takes about an hour to reach the wind pavilion, this intersection can head towards Bina Hill / Tai Tam Reservoir 🌊 And this time I chose to take the third route, which is a concrete road, up to Hong Kong Island's Berkshire Hills Bobo 😍 It's a long way, up 100 meters about half an hour to 45 minutes to reach the Berkshire Hills Observatory radar station, you can check in there🤪 This time up to the top of the cloudy day, next time to wait for the good weather to hit more beautiful cards first ⛰ walk is along the road down to chase Quarry Bay Municipal Building, very convenient 🙂 #Hiking Route Recommendation

Wild boar has attracted a lot of attention recently. In fact, there is a wild boar trail in Hong Kong. The English name of the trail is named after the Portuguese "Boa Vista". "Boa Vista" means good scenery. The difficulty is not difficult. From Quarry Bay, you will reach Tai Fung Au in about 1 hour from the starting point of the Nature Trail.

Take advantage of the good weather, let's go hiking in the mountains near Quarry Bay. This road is really easy to walk. You can enter from the intersection next to the Seaview Building on Emperor Road. There is the entrance to Berkshire Hill Road. Walk a few steps along the road to see the neighboring Quarry Bay Municipal Building. After turning a few corners and walking up for about 10 minutes, you will see the former Pacific Sugar Factory and Pacific Dockyard European Staff Quarters, commonly known as the "Red House". There are three exhibition galleries in the center that showcase Hong Kong’s beautiful natural environment and ecology. Next to the center is the Eastern Saltwater Water Supply Reservoir, which has been converted into a park for morning exercisers to relax. Walking further up the road, you can see different entrances to the "Quarry Bay Tree Study Trail", "Golden Tak Riding Trail" and "Campa Country Trail", depending on how much time you have to wander. This time my hiking route did not end at Mount Pina, but walked towards the signs towards Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir. Along the way you pass two scenic barbecues surrounded by mountains. Next to the barbecue site No. 4 is a row of more than ten unusually tall trees with three-lobed leaves, a bit like maple leaves. In fact, they are Hong Kong's native tree species, maple scent, the protagonists of Tai Tong's "photography hotspot". In autumn, the maple leaves turn from lush green to orange-red, forming a gorgeous sea of ​​​​red. Soon we saw the edge of Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir. Most of Tai Tam was converted into several reservoirs in stages between 1883 and 1917 (including Tai Tam Upper Reservoir, Tai Tam Sub Reservoir, Tai Tam Middle Reservoir and Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir) to supply drinking water to Hong Kong Island. The Tai Tam Reservoir hiking route introduced this time is a section of Tai Tam Reservoir Road near Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir. This section is a flatter asphalt road with no steps throughout, making it convenient and easy to walk. These include the construction of Tai Tam Middle Reservoir and dam. You can follow the Tai Tam Water Works Heritage Trail to visit the five classic historical artifacts one by one. The four stone bridges at Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir are the main passages connecting the reservoirs and the country park. The material is granite, the structure is arched, and the top of the bridge is decorated with flying eaves. The dam and four stone bridges are listed as legal monuments.

Take the bus to Wong Nai Chung, start from there, pass the Wong Nai Chung waterway and go up towards Yangmingshan Villa. At first, walk through the shade of trees and go up the mountain along the muddy road, which is a bit strenuous. When you reach almost the top of the mountain, you will see a stone quarry, which is rare in Hong Kong. At the same time, you can also see the scenery of the Kowloon Peninsula on the opposite bank. The downhill section is also a bit strenuous, and you will eventually reach the urban area of ​​Quarry Bay. #LocalTours#Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

In 1892, the Mount Parker Crane was built to travel between Gale's Pass and Quarry Bay on Mount Parker. Camellia crapnelliana was first discovered in Mount Parker in 1903. In 1932, the Mount Baker Crane was dismantled due to low usage, and its history was only 40 years old. On January 25, 1947, a Philippine Airlines Douglas C-47A-25-DK aircraft attempted to land at Kai Tak Airport but was unsuccessful. The wreckage of the plane was found in Mount Parker at about three o'clock that afternoon, and four people on board were killed[2]; the plane was carrying two and a half tons of gold from Mexico (more than 50 boxes of gold, worth more than HK$20 million at the time, and was owned by eight companies in Hong Kong) Bank and other businessmen) were scattered on the hillside where the plane crashed. Most of the gold bars were recovered by the police two days later.
