The Ngon Ping Gallery Road
The Trail Ngon Ping 360 Rescue Road (The Gallery Rd is part of this Rescue Rd) starts it’s entrance from the Tung O Ancient trail. The total distance is 4.8 Km with the height of 578 m. It is estimated to take 1 hr 33 mins but due to one reason or another it will normally take 5 hours for slow walkers.
I went there on 26 May, 2024 passing through Ngon Ping 360 Skyrail Tower 3, Nei Lak Shan Angle station, Nei Lak Shan Country Trail, and Lantau Trail section 4 and arriving at the Ngon Ping Village. The height equivalent to 117 stories high of a skyscraper.
It was steep and all the way walked on stairs either rock paved or paved with wooden planks . It was quite neat. As a result of this all upward walk, it was quite strenuous . In return it did reward the hikers a very good view of Chek Lap Kok Airport and all the housing estates such as Yat Tung , Mun Tung estate, Seaview Crescent under one’s feet. So walking stick was necessary, so was enough water.
Suggestions are that not to try the trail on a hot day say 25 degrees Celsius ; take the downhill direction from Nong Ping Village to Tung O Ancient Road instead of upwards walk to the top; take walking stick one or a pair. It will be easier and more enjoyable with this mode.

Nice views and a good escape from the city. Much better than taking...

Get to the top and grab a bus or taxi from Nong Pin down to Lower Cheng Sha beach for a well earned beer and lunch stop. Be prepared for a moderate to hard days hike. Approx 2-3 hours depending on your pace of steady steps up... 760m elevation rise over about 5km. (take...
