Tai Mo Shan
大帽山
Hong Kong's highest peak at 957 metres. Autumn and winter pampas grass, sea of clouds and sunrise are among the scenes locals love most.
Tai Mo Shan rises to 957 metres and is the highest peak in Hong Kong. The radar station on the summit is closed to the public, so most visitors head for a viewing area nearby. In autumn the slopes are covered in pampas grass, and clouds often fill the valleys at dawn. You can walk up from the Tai Mo Shan Country Park Visitor Centre on Tsuen Kam Road by following Tai Mo Shan Road, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. You can also follow Sections 8 and 9 of the MacLehose Trail. During cold spells, frost may form on the summit, and it is very crowded, so dress warmly and be careful on slippery paths. From Tsuen Wan, take bus 51 to Tsuen Kam Pass.
