In the bustling city of Hong Kong, Pineapple Mountain has become an ideal destination for many outdoor enthusiasts due to its spectacular natural scenery and hidden trails.

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

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Our adventure to Por Lo Shan was a breathtaking escape into one of Hong Kong’s most extraordinary natural landscapes. Tucked away in the New Territories, this geological marvel is often called the "Grand Canyon of Hong Kong," thanks to its dramatic sloping valleys and rugged rock formations. The golden-hued terrain, sculpted by time and the elements, bears an uncanny resemblance to the flaky crust of a pineapple bun—a resemblance that inspired its name. While the hike is considered relatively easy, we took our time, pausing frequently to soak in the panoramic views and capture the stunning scenery. The ridge rewarded us with sweeping vistas that stretched across Shenzhen, Castle Peak, and beyond, offering a perspective rarely seen in Hong Kong’s urban sprawl. The shifting sunlight cast mesmerizing shadows over the canyon’s textured landscape, making every turn a postcard-worthy moment. For those planning a visit, late autumn and winter are the best seasons to embark on this hike. The cooler temperatures make the trek significantly more enjoyable, and the crisp air enhances visibility, unveiling crystal-clear horizons that extend for miles. Getting there was straightforward—we took the MTR to Siu Hong Station, then transferred to the light rail towards Leung King LRT. From there, a short walk brought us to the trailhead, where the adventure truly began. In total, we spent around four hours here, savoring every moment of this hidden gem—one that felt like an otherworldly escape from the city’s relentless pace. #myitinerary #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo #chinatrip #couplestrip
