Needle Mountain Grass Mountain Tai Mo Shan ⛰ Route: Shing Mun Reservoir➡️Needle Hill➡️Grass Hill➡️Lead Mine Au➡️Square Hill➡️Tai Mo Shan➡️Tsuen Kam Au Although the route is boring, it is worth it. P.S. It is not recommended to travel when the weather is too hot.

Hong Kong has three peaks I believe friends who walk the mountain will not be strangers, but do you know that there is still a hidden fourth peak 😆? It is the needle mountain that I want to introduce today 🤗. In fact, the needle mountain used to be the third tip of the hiking world, I do not know when someone began to find the angle of the angler than the needle mountain even sharper, replacing the needle mountain's three peaks status 😯, today let me introduce you to this legendary fourth tip 😁 Suggested tour route👇 Shing Mun Reservoir --> Shing Mun Reservoir Main Dam --> Needle Hill --> Tao Fung Hill --> Sha Tin What's special about this route 😉? 1. Needle Hill ⛰️ (Just hearing the name already feels like a needle so sharp 🤣, although Needle Hill is only 532 meters high, but I didn't expect it to be so impressive 🤩, starting from Shing Mun Reservoir via Section 7 of the MacLeod Trail up the mountain, the last section of the road before the summit is the best photo spot in Needle Hill 😁) 2. Shing Mun Reservoir 🏞️ (The first attraction at the beginning of this journey, although Shing Mun Reservoir is not the main character of the journey, but take a look at it 🤣, there are many monkeys 🐒 along the way to accompany you ga 😆) 3. Mirror of the Sky🪞 (You can still see the Mirror of the Sky at the main dam of Shing Mun Reservoir😍, but the Mirror of the Sky at Shing Mun Reservoir is not so easy to have😜, I was really lucky that day😎, don't be discouraged if you can't see the Mirror of the Sky😉, because you can look back at the entire Shing Mun Reservoir as chill😚) 4. Xinyi Theological Seminary⛪ (is the bonus of this trip😁, from Needle Mountain down to the location near Taofeng Mountain you will see a very Japanese-style building, it is the Xinyi Theological Seminary😆, I went to Japan🇯🇵 feeling immediately back 💕, finally let this pseudo-Japan trip⛩️🎎🎏 for today's itinerary to end it😃) Tips: I think this route physical demand is greater, especially once you walk into the 7th section of the McLeod Ganj Trail and have been up the mountain, belonging to the 2.5-3 star route, but the overall is safe 😉, you remember to prepare enough water according to your ability 😉 Transportation: You can start at Shing Mun Reservoir by taking minibus No. 82🚌 from Siu Ho Street in Tsuen Wan Want to know more good things to do in Hong Kong?

You can hike up Needle Hill from Tai Po, Sha Tin or Fo Tan. If you want an easy hike, you can take a taxi to Wong Chuk Yeung Village. From here, you can climb up one flight of stairs after another to join the MacLehose Trail. There are signs to walk leisurely to enjoy the view of Needle Hill. In another half an hour, you can reach the top of the mountain and enjoy the panoramic view of Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Shing Mun Reservoir.

Needle Hill is located between Sha Tin and Tsuen Wan, at the bottom of the mountain looks very steep but to the place near the top of the mountain is particularly steep We from the Tsuen Wan side up the mountain is not too steep but on the other side down the mountain is very steep almost vertical so be very careful 😣😣

#Hiking route recommendation The Needle Mountain is 532 meters high and is named for its sharp edge. Take minibus No. 82 from Tsuen Wan to Pineapple Dam at Shing Mun Reservoir, follow the road to the main dam, cross the main dam, find the entrance to Section 7 of the MacLehose Trail, and start climbing the stairs. There are many steps and little flat ground to serve as a buffer. You can stop and rest or sit on the ground when you are tired. Don’t forget to look back, because the beautiful scenery will inspire you to continue climbing: the scenery is higher. At the top of the mountain, there is a 360-degree view. The whole view of Shing Mun Reservoir is in full view; Tai Mo Shan, Grass Hill and Lion Rock are all in sight; you can also enjoy the scenery of Tsuen Wan, Tai Wai and Sha Tin towns. You can choose to go down the mountain in the direction of Shatin or return along the same route. #Climb

Take a minibus from Tsuen Wan to the Pineapple Dam terminus at Shing Mun Reservoir. You don't have to go up the stairs, and it's not in the direction of the convenience store. Instead, walk along the road to the main dam on the east side. The road is flat and it's easy and comfortable to walk. Looking at the clear pond on my left and the mountains standing there, I felt like I was in the embrace of nature. Even just taking a walk around this beautiful Chengmen Pond is quite enjoyable. 🥰 But this time it is not a picnic trip, but a trip to the Three Mountains of Bizhen and Caomao. 🤪 After passing the main dam on the east side, walk about 20 meters along the right road and you will see the signage for Section 7 of the MacLehose Trail. As soon as you arrive, you will start walking up the endless ladder. The slope is quite steep and it is quite strenuous to walk up, but once you successfully climb up to Needle Hill, which is about 533 meters high, the view becomes open and Sha Tin and Shing Mun Reservoir are in sight. After a rest at the top of Zhenshan Mountain, we started to go down the mountain, along the stairs. It was a bit slanted but if we were careful, it was manageable. Going down to the mountainside, you will connect to the forestry road. The roads leading up to Caoshan are all concrete roads and are not difficult to walk on. When we reached the top of Grass Mountain, we didn’t take any special photos with the landmark column. We then followed the sign down to Lead Mine Pass, took a short break, went to the toilet, and ate a rice ball (be careful of monkey attacks 🐒), and then began the arduous journey to Sifang Mountain and Tai Mo Shan. At first there is a round of stairs, and then the road to Sifang Mountain also needs to be among the piles of stones, but the shapes of the stones are strange and the scenery is very open. If you keep walking along the road, you will reach the Sifang Mountain Pavilion. Continue up the mountain along the concrete road to the highest point of Tai Mo Shan (Tai Mo Shan Weather Station). After checking in, go down the mountain. At the end, there is Sister Lian’s teahouse for supplies and you can reward yourself with skewers of fish balls. Today's challenge of the straw hat takes 7 hours🥳. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Travel

This time Uncle wants to introduce Needle Hill, located in Tsuen Wan, belonging to Section 7 of the MacLeod Trail. Walking to the top of the hill can see the whole Shing Mun Reservoir, the scenery is very beautiful! The whole section of Needle Mountain is almost 10 kilometers, and the round trip takes almost 6 hours. However, the difficulty is not great, there are many sections that require uphill! It is recommended to leave early if you visit during the holidays, as this route is more popular and will be crowded! There are also many monkeys around Shing Mun Reservoir. When eating and drinking, you should pay attention to whether there will be plastic bags to grab food. You should also do a good job of sunscreen! #wintertravel #countrysidegoodplaces #localtravel

#春好去地方2024 "Needle Hill" is the seventh section of the MacLehose Trail. Shing Mun Reservoir is nearby. In addition to hiking, it is also a route with sightseeing value. Most of the flat paths are planted with flowers like the ones in the photo. When the humidity is high, water droplets form and hang on the flowers, making the whole picture very beautiful and eye-catching. 🌺🌸💧 #Hong Kong places to go #Hong Kong outings #Hong Kong travel guide
