Shun Yeung Fung(590m) — Attraction in Hong Kong

One of the best hikes in HK - amazing view of the ridge, a few steep climbs at the beginning. The path is clear and well marked. The effort is totally worth it. Just bring enough snacks, water and sports drinks are highly recommended. It took us 6h in total including rest and lunch breaks, photos and just stopping to enjoy the view.

Better to hike in winter, otherwise summer heat is your biggest enemy in this hike - barely any shade, no...

山寥上纯阳 半路小巴坐不上，只好坐巴士，结果要兜进工业区，坐了十几个站。于山寮站下车，行入村中。此村规模还不小，后来从山上往下看，密密麻麻一大片，难怪小巴满座。过村屋续向前，听见流水声。路左边有个水务设施，用铁栏围住。再前行十几米就见路右有布条，还有一块艰险告示牌。小径初段略需攀爬，然后于林中一路向上，草和灌木十分稀疏，比黄岭那边好走得多。想起上次被峰蛰，沿路的蛛丝虽然有些麻烦，却也令人安心。 慢行一个多小时，来到半山腰一个光秃小山包，与另一条山脊汇合——此脊位于东南，势平缓，直下山寮，但没有开出路来。小山包上亦风光无限，与船湾大坝连成一条直线。右边是马屎洲，再有两小岛分列两旁，是丫洲和洋洲。此两小岛总让人记不住哪个是哪个。北边小岛较大，而洋字笔画较多，所以是洋洲。用长焦镜头来看，原来洋洲顶上有一棵树突出成一只鸭子形状，有头有脚，不知是人工还是天然呢。 再上就是短草山稔之路，有左山右海为伴，也不觉太累，一个多小时就登上了纯阳峰，又可望到沙头角海。大休过后沿卫亦信径纵走八仙岭各峰。最东的仙姑峰本可一眺整个淡水湖，可惜有树丛遮挡，要南向翻过围栏才看得到。南向亦是一条小径，经马骝崖直下春风亭，不久前跌死过人的。所以还是续...

Nice place to see how vegetation varies on the north and south slope, due to soil moisture and bedrock ...
