Awesome HK Hike
High Junk peak is not one of the biggest in HK, at only 334M it is quite scalable under normal circumstances. it is however considered one of the most treacherous peaks in HK, due to its sharp slippery incline, both going up and down
From the peak you get gorgeous 360 degree views of Clear Water Bay and its surrounding areas, well worth the climb to the top.
High Junk Peak trail itself is not so challenging, with a gradual incline of trail and steps it doesnt provide much of a challenge until the final ascent itself. Most of the trail is the standard HK style dirt paths we know and love. As always with hikes in HK it is well signposted
The last few meteres below the summit is where it become difficutl, its a stepp incline which needs you do go on all fours almost to scramble to the top. It is slippery so go slow and steady
Although the summit of High Junk Peak is wider than it looks, it can be a bit intimidating for those with vertigo. There’s a narrow strip of land on the top that has no obstructions on either side. And that’s what really makes High Junk Peak a pleasure to conquer
Once you’re done admiring the gorgeous views, come down from slope facing Clear Water Bay. The slope is steep, so be careful.
Once you reach the foot of the hill, you’ll notice a 3-point junction. The short path on the left takes you down to Clear Water Bay Road. From here you can catch a bus back to Kwun Tong, Tsuen Kwan O, or Diamond Hill.
You could also end the the hike at PoToi O, a small fishing village in Clearwater Bay. at the end of this trail you’ll get to a main road, a short distance from there is a mini bus stop which can take you back to an MTR. Or you can have lunch in a local seafood restaurant.

Breathtaking View from High Junk Peak⛰
Tired and shaky legs, paid off, 真的👍😊
The trail is consider easy, many people bring their kids until you get to the point where you have to choose whether you want to follow the steep path going up to the high peak or take the other one.
If you want to challenge yourself, choose the 1st!!!
But if you hike with your kids, you may consider the 2nd.
After climbing up the steep path you will feel blessed 🤩🤩 looking at the magnificent landscape, Clear Water Bay.
Be prepared with enough water and of course your smartphone to capture the best pic 📱📸
Going down is as steep as going up, watch out your steps 👟👟

This is one of the views you'll have when you decide to go to the high junk peak trail in Hong Kong, just half an hour from the center in metro, after that 15 min by bus and you'll be in the entrance to this magnificent hike.

High junk peak trail located in Hong Kong, on every review of this place says that it'll take 3 hours to reach the top, but in a good rhythm and taking good pictures on the way without spending a lot of time, you can do it in 1:30. One of the best hikes I've ever done.
