Phoenix Hill, Tung Chung

Phoenix Mountain is 934 meters above sea level and is the second highest mountain in Hong Kong. However, since the top of the highest mountain, Tai Mo Shan, is designated as a restricted area and is not accessible to the general public, the top of Phoenix Mountain is the highest point for hiking in Hong Kong. Like Mount Datong in Edom, the tops of Phoenix Mountain and the two other places are both great places to watch the sunrise. In addition, in autumn and winter, Phoenix Mountain also has beautiful views of Miscanthus. In terms of scenery, the landscape along the Phoenix Mountain is very open and the view is very beautiful. However, there is heavy fog in Phoenix Mountain all year round, and the thick fog may affect your interest in hiking. In terms of difficulty, if you follow the route in this travelogue, that is, starting from Pak Kong Au and walking along the Phoenix Trail to Ngong Ping, although you have to go uphill all the way before reaching the top of the mountain, the slope is still acceptable. After reaching the top of the mountain, it is just downhill all the way, which is only of medium to high difficulty. However, if you go the other way and start from Ngong Ping and walk up the "Sky Ladder" to Phoenix Mountain, or walk through the North and South Tianmen, the difficulty will increase dramatically. The route of this travelogue can be said to be the most basic entry route for walking in Phoenix Mountain. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Tours #Good Places to Go in Hong Kong #Writers in Residence #Good Places to Go with Kids #Good Places to Go with Kids Lazy Package
