Took the private driveway path, (1st left driveway) , just below fei ngo shan marker at bottom of fei ngo shan rd, then climbed up for about an hr and it was on left. At fork near beginning, take left to rope. This may cause dizziness for beginners who are unfit, but the alternative (from Kowloon lookout) is more painful as u need to backtrack to get home if u don't know what you are doing , effectively doubled your effort and climbing down to suicide cliff is scarier than climbing straight up from bottom.
Note, Don't do the steep way if it rains as the mud is slippery (and u get terrible fog view.)
I highly recommend hiking sleeves and some cover for your lower legs as the bush pathway from the lookout to the helipad is completely overgrown (taller than me and I'm 5'8") and u will most likely need anti rash medication, so why not just wear the right clothes, if u r short, buy a hiking hat with side covers. U might consider a small umbrella as it rains often (every time I have been up) and there is no cave to hide in. 1 litre water is more than enough as there is the shop at Shatin pass before heading up lion rock.
If u don't do lion rock, quickest way out of there from suicide cliff helipad is to walk around the right via hidden path. If u can't find, then walk down the wooden steps in front of helipad through above mentioned bushes, up and down several hills to Kowloon lookout Point, then just walk down or jog down the road on left (it's 100% down) to the relatively hidden steps next to Buddhist temple just below the lion pavilion/lion rock country park sign below the shatin pass shop. U get to tze wan shan where there is a MacDonald's so Google MacDonald's lol) by going down the escalators, lifts and walkways. Then walk down further to diamond Hill mtr.
(If u take the right side of the road at the Kowloon lookout pavilion u end up at a campsite and need to go behind the right building and find a path going to tai wai side mtr, it's very hard to find as Google maps is inaccurate . But if u have day light, feel free to explore.)
If u want to go to amah Rock, I suggest you still hike to shatin pass down the left road till u get to the store, then just walk right, past the store and there is a path there.
Whatever you do, look at the map first to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreJan 16, 2020 To Suicide Cliff Travel: From Choi Hung MTR , Green Mini bus 1, 1A, or 1S Location: It is part of the Kowloon Peak near Fei Ngnor Shan. It is a short but difficult and dangerous route of about 650 M. Total up and down time about 4 hours. The type of the trail is mainly ,rocky and gravel with a lot of sand in between. The gradient is 63% meaning quite steep and not easy to get a foot hold. So, climbing like a goat and coming down like a goat with face to the slope is necessary. It is for the adventurous, strong and experienced hiker and better to be equipped with gloves and long trousers. This explains why for a short distance, such long time is required. The date of visit was 16th Jan 2020. Some photos and video are appended. Getting off at Fei Ha Road after the stop at Good Hope School. I Walked up to Fei Ngor Shan Road and turn Left at a very short stretch of a dead end road. There was a little opening at the adjacent slope of bushes. It could be easily missed. From that entrance I ventured up to a hilly sandy trail right away ,with no visibility of the area around me. Many times , I had to use a heap of grass or shrubs to help crawling up , one step at a time in a slow fashion. Have the sense of danger always on my mind. The more high up the more windy. The more high up , the more beautiful was the scenery ,seeing Shun lee Estate and Anderson road and Tseng Lan Shue. In the middle length of the trail , different types of flowers were seen. Higher up close to the Suicide Cliff, many big rocks were there , at a glance I found the Parrot Stone which had a round hole at the top of the rectangular rock. I came back after an exhaustive upward trip and follow the same trail down, with my face facing the slope to avoid slipping down theslope. It was fun and exciting. At the junction of Fei ha Road and Fei Ngor shan Road, one can get any transportation easily. written at...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOh my God place. Its really long, steep and tough hike for beginners but all is fair when you will reach the top. The view from helipad is breathtaking. You will be able to see kowloon, the ocean, Hong Kong island and far saikung area too. I took the long way which opens up at helipad on top and when you take a right route you reach suicide cliff. There is a short and difficult hike which leads you 1st to suicide cliff itself but the choice is yours. I believe both the routes will be too challenging in rainy season. There is one more view point where in you can take a hike trail from the top itself its called as suicide cliff as there were a lot of mishappenings while people tried climbing it so be very careful. You will see a lot of fellow friendly hikers. Please bring atleast 1.5 or 2 litres of water. There is no snack shop. Carry some snack to eat too which you can enjoy after tiring hike and with beautiful view. Take sunglasses, sunscreen with you. Please google for the map. Its...
