Tai Mo Shan is the highest peak in Hong Kong, and it offers a truly remarkable experience for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. I recently had the opportunity to visit Tai Mo Shan, and I was blown away by its beauty and tranquility.

The journey to Tai Mo Shan was an adventure in itself. The winding roads and lush greenery along the way created a sense of anticipation and excitement. Upon reaching the peak, I was greeted with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The sight of rolling hills, dense forests, and the city skyline in the distance was simply awe-inspiring.

Another notable feature of Tai Mo Shan is its unique ecosystem. The mountain is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species of plants and animals. It was a delight to spot colorful butterflies, hear the melodious songs of birds, and witness the vibrant blooms of wildflowers along the trails.

Overall, my visit to Tai Mo Shan was a truly memorable experience. The stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and well-maintained facilities make it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts in Hong Kong. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking to escape the city for a day, Tai Mo Shan is a hidden gem that will leave you in awe of Hong Kong's...

Its name is well deserved, Tai Mo Shan (foggy mountain). It rained a bit the day I went there, oh boy it sure was foggy. I’m not complaining cuz it’s an interesting experience, I doubt you can get this view anywhere else in Hong Kong. Pick a sunny day to go if you want a clear view.

Although it’s the highest point in HK, the road up there is not difficult. Saw many kids and cyclists too, I think it’s suitable for beginner. Beware of vehicles tho, a lot of people drive there.

Also quite pleasant to see some yellow and black cows just there chilling, eating grass. They seemed to keep walking upward, I wonder where their destination was. The peak maybe? I stopped at the facility with a hemispherical building, I don’t know if that’s the peak. Also have fun avoiding all the cow poop sitting on the road.

Would like to revisit on a beautiful...

Sadly have to give it a 4 stars as the summit is very underwhelming. Note that we can’t go into the observatory so the summit is actually just the gate to the observatory. No sign or whatever. The best views are when you are hiking up and down the mountain. Take bus 51 from Tsuen Wan or TW west to the country park. Elevation wise, only 500m if you hike from the bus stop. There are many steps at the start but at the end it’s just road.
