Sharp Peak
蚺蛇尖
One of Hong Kong's Three Peaks. Its sharp shape overlooks Tai Long Wan and is regarded as one of the most challenging and most beautiful mountains in Hong Kong.
Sharp Peak stands 468 metres high on the north side of Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung. Together with Tsing Shan and Hai Ying Peak, it is known as the Three Peaks of Hong Kong. Most routes start from Pak Tam Au or Sai Wan. The final section is a steep scree slope where you need to use your hands as well as your feet. The descent is even harder, so this hike suits experienced walkers. From the summit you can see the four bays of Tai Long Wan and the east coast of Sai Kung. There are no supplies on the mountain, so bring plenty of water and avoid hiking alone. If the weather is poor, take the Tai Long Wan beach route instead.
