Although Ermeng Peak is the most difficult of the three peaks, I personally think the view is the most beautiful Erratic Peak is located in Sai Kung District. The mountainous terrain is dangerous and protruding⛰ But the landscape is incomparable to the mountains and rivers in one view of the blue sky 🌊🏝 However, Snake Peak is one of the "high-risk sites for fatal and serious accidents in country parks" It is conceivable that Erratic Peak has a certain difficulty and physical requirements need to pay attention to safety🚨 Erratic Peak is also a black spot for heat stroke. The degree of sun exposure is quite high ☀️ We should do our best The choice of the day is to take bus 94🚌 at Sai Kung Bus Terminal Alight at Bei Tan Au Station. Depart from Bei Tan Au and arrive at Erratic Peak via Chi King and Tai Lang Au Then via Tai Wan and Ham Tin Wan, then to Tai Lang Au and then leave at Chi King🏃🏻 The whole journey is about 12 kilometers. There are no supplies along the way. You need to bring them yourself✨ Once again, we remind all mountain friends to pay attention to safety according to their ability❗️❗️❗️ #Hiking Route Recommendation #Snake Peak #Sai Kung #Mountain Water #Bei Tam Au #A Chi Keng

Snake Peak is located north of Tai Lang Bay in Sai Kung. It is 486 meters high. Although it is not the highest among the three peaks, it is considered to be the first of Hong Kong's three peaks because of its steep and steep climbing path. There are different routes to Snake Trail, along the MacLeod Trail up to Tai Lang Au. This ramp is both a warm-up for walking up Mount Tai Lang Au. Slowly walking up Tai Lang Au, you will encounter a crossroads. In addition to the Mai Trail to Salt Field Bay, there are also trails on the left and right sides of Mount Erratic. This place is also a popular place for hikers to rest. On the left side of the McLeod Trail, there is a small wooden sign behind the "McLeod Trail", which is the entrance to the trail to climb the Snake Peak You will see the Snake Peak standing in front of you. The Department of Fisheries and Conservation also erected a hazard warning sign on the road. Although hard, but the top to see the beautiful view, everything is worth it! #Hiking Route Recommendation #TipTipTip

Sharp Peak (aka Nam She Tsim) Distance: 13km (round trip) Duration: around 5 hours [Route] Pak Tam Au > Chek Kang > Tai Long Au > Nam She Au > Sharp Peak Summit (along Maclehose Trail Section 2 and Sharp Peak Path) Recommended only for advanced hikers, Sharp Peak is one of the most challenging hikes in HK with steep and slippery slopes, but super worth it as the scenic views of Tai Long Wan and its surrounding beaches are just stunning beyond words! There are plenty of photo spots, two public toilets and even a restaurant along the way. On our way back, we also saw a junk boat near Chek Kang Pier heading to Wong Shek Pier for $20. It starts to get hard from Tai Long Au without anymore paved roads, so you’ll see some warning signs from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). After conquering 3 slopes, you’ll reach the summit. Remember to wear hiking shoes with a good grip and bring gloves/ a hiking pole, water and some snacks! [How to get there] Take bus 96R (only on weekends and public holidays) from Diamond Hill to Pak Tam Au (around 1 hour) #行山路線推介 #無敵海景 #高空景觀

Snake Peak is located north of Tai Lang Bay in Sai Kung, with an altitude of 468 meters above sea level. The steep mountain of Snake Peak has been called "the first of the three peaks in Hong Kong". To climb the top of the mountain, you can proceed from different directions, the difficulty varies😝 This time I chose the relatively easy route: Pei Tam Au > Chi King > Tai Lang Au > Erratic Snake Au > Ernest Peak It is very convenient to get to Bei Tan Au. The first part of this trip (Chi Keng) is a flat concrete road, which is very easy. After about an hour, we arrived at Tai Lang Au and officially started climbing 🧗‍♀️. The path is not very steep, but be careful of the gravel. Step by step, you will reach Mop Snake Pass. Started to see hints that the road up the mountain was rugged and dangerous⚠️ I want to conquer this tip, don't let me give up so easily 🙅🏻 ♀️ After a short rest, I started to use my hands and feet, climbing more and more, more and more gravel 🪨 But seeing the scenery in front of me is getting more and more open, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it. There was almost no shade of trees all the way up the mountain, so we had to do enough sunscreen🌚 Finally successfully climbed to the top, Sai Kung view entered the curtain ☀️ The weather was sunny that day, the view was worth 💯 #Outdoor good places

"One Sharp Peak, Three Heads, and Four Bays" refers to "蚺蛇尖 (Sharp Peak), 米粉咀 (Rice Flour Head), 短咀 (Short Head), 长咀 (Long Head), 东湾 (East Bay), 大湾 (Big Bay), 咸田湾 (Ham Tin Bay), and 西湾 (West Bay)." It is the most scenic of Hong Kong's "four major hiking test routes" and the second test route I have hiked. Unfortunately, like the first one (Bowen Double Crossing), I underestimated the difficulty of the route and completed it in two separate hikes. The standard route is: Pak Tam Au — Chek Keng — Tai Long Au — Sharp Peak — Rice Flour Top — Rice Flour Head — Short Head — Long Head — East Bay — Big Bay — Ham Tin Bay — West Bay — Chui Tung Au — Sai Wan Pavilion. The total length is about 27 km, and it takes at least 8 hours. The three heads require returning along the same path. Some sections overlap with Section 2 of the Maclehose Trail. Although this route is challenging, the scenery between the mountains and the sea is superb and highly recommended. Figures 1–4: View from the top of Sharp Peak. Figure 1 shows Long Head and East Bay, and Figure 2 shows East Bay and Big Bay. Figures 5–7: Scenery of Rice Flour Head. Figures 8–10: Scenery of Short Head. Figures 11–15: Scenery of Long Head. Personally, I think Long Head has the best scenery. Figure 16: East Bay. Figure 17: Big Bay. Figure 18: Ham Tin Bay, with Sharp Peak in the distance. Figure 19: West Bay.

The last NR29 bus on weekends is at 6 pm, and there are up to 5 buses per departure.

#Sunrise Snake Point is a famous mountain climbing spot in Hong Kong. Its spectacular sunrise scenery attracts many photography enthusiasts and mountain hikers. The trip is expected to take about 2 to 3 hours. The climbing route is relatively flat at first, but there may be slippery rocks and high slopes in the later areas, so please wear suitable hiking shoes. On the way, you can enjoy the night view of the stars around you, as well as the quietness especially in the early morning. Carry enough water and light food to keep you going. Once you reach the top, get your camera ready to capture the stunning sunrise. #Hong Kong Destinations #Global Travel #Hiking Route Recommendations #Hiking

It has an elevation of 468 meters and is one of Hong Kong's famous hiking destinations. Due to the steep and rocky terrain of Sharp Peak, it is known by hikers as 'the foremost of the three sharp peaks of Hong Kong' and 'the most dangerous peak in Hong Kong'. The ridge to the northwest of Sharp Peak leading to High Flow Bay is commonly known as the Second Ridge of East Dragon. The coastline north of Sharp Peak is commonly referred to as the Thousand Streams Coast. ⚠️Precautions: When the weather is good, make sure to apply sunscreen adequately, bring enough water, and find shaded areas to cool down to avoid heatstroke. 🚌Transport: Lok Ma Chau/MTR Station➡️Sha Tin/MTR Station Exit B➡️Turn right at Exit B into the shopping mall escalator down to the first floor to take/289R to➡️Pak Tam Au Kilometers: 12 Time: 7 hours Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟 Scenery: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sharp Peak Hike in Sai Kung is one of the most scenic hikes in Hong Kong. The stunning coastline of Sai Kung wraps around the dramatic ridges below you as you stand atop one of the highest points in the region. The turquoise water and white sand of the beaches will blow away your perceptions of Hong Kong as a city destination. Remember to carry enough water and food as there's no much shops along the way. Be mentally prepared this is a difficult hike and last but mot least, enjoy :)

One of the most beautiful hiking trails in Hong Kong - Nam She Tsim. After climbing Lao Hu Tou, I decided to challenge Sai Kung Ngam Snake Peak. Starting from Bei Tan Ao, climbing over Ngam Snake Peak, going to Tai Wan and then to Xian Tian Wan, and finally returning to Bei Tan Ao, the whole journey took 8 hours. Really didn't expect to complete this hike. The last few peaks of Ranshejian are mostly made of broken stones, so one needs to be very careful. It's necessary to wear hiking shoes and anti-slip gloves, and use both hands and feet to climb up. From afar, the angle of the mountain road looked very steep and scary, and we almost lost confidence to continue. Along the way, we met hikers who had climbed down the mountain, and they gave us some confidence and encouragement. Finally climbed to the top of Ranshe Mountain, took 2 hours and 50 minutes, and all four companions were very excited, one is because the scenery is really beautiful, and the other is the achievement of reaching the summit. At the top of the mountain, we took photos and had a simple lunch. Because there was no food or water supply on the way, we prepared simple dry food and water before departure, and each person prepared at least two bottles of water or sports drinks. It's better to bring some nuts or energy bars, and if not too heavy, some fruits can also be brought. Following the advice of other hikers at the mountaintop, we decided to descend towards the east bay. We went up and down several hills, skipped over the east bay, and headed to the big bay to feel the sea breeze and waves. Then we went to the salt field bay to experience the tranquility of the sea. After a short rest at the salt field bay, we returned to the north valley and descended the mountain. The salt field bay has a supply of food, water, and a restroom available. Along the way, we met interesting hikers of all kinds, and everyone politely greeted each other. There was a young man carrying heavy camping equipment, a skilled runner running barefoot, and cool girls who stopped to rest and smoke. The most impressive was the grandfather who was nearly 71 years old and climbed with a cane to become the first to reach the summit. He told us that we were the fifth group of climbers to climb Ranshejian that day, and we felt quite accomplished.
