Kowloon Peak
Clear Water Bay
Description
Standing at 603 metres high, Kowloon Peak offers panoramic views of bustling Victoria Harbour in one direction and the serene landscape of Sai Kung and Clearwater Bay in the other. The hike starts with a steep incline up the mountain for around an hour before you reach the summit. Once there you can follow the trail down to Suicide Cliff (named so because of its rocky feature resembling a diving board), where you’ll find a picturesque scene of Hong Kong island from above—far better than any rooftop bar! From this point you can head back down to Choi Hung. Take care when going downhill as the path can be slippery with loose rocks along the way.
