Tai Mo Shan

Tai Mo Shan Country Park Visitor Centre
Soon after you set off from the crossing of Tai Mo Shan Road and Route Twisk, you will reach the Visitor Centre on your left. Learn about Tai Mo Shan Country Park and climate change from local and global perspectives  through the interactive panels.

 

Tai Mo Shan Lookout
Continue uphill on Tai Mo Shan Road, and you will be treated to sweeping views of the hillside and the city. Savour the breathtaking scenery of the plains of Kam Tin and Yuen Long from the lookout before the traffic control post.

 

Tai Mo Shan Road
This winding section of Tai Mo Shan Road, which is also part of MacLehose Trail Stage 8, brings you towards the top of the mountain. At this height you’ll have an impressive view of the landscape both far and near, and  may come across feral cows along the way.

 

Weather Radar Station
Unobstructed in all directions by local terrain, this Hong Kong Observatory weather station on the peak of Tai Mo Shan collects data to form combined radar images and calculates winds at different heights above Hong Kong.
