Lion Rock (495 m) is one of the most recognisable natural landmarks in Hong Kong and has become a symbol of the hardworking spirit of Hongkongers. The rock overlooks the major residential areas of the city and has stood as a witness to Hong Kong’s remarkable transformation from a rustic outpost of China to a dynamic world city. Beneath Lion Rock has been the name of a song and a TV series about the lives of ordinary Hong Kong people.

Sha Tin Pass Road to Kowloon Reservoir
Perched on the northern vista of Victoria Harbour, this trail runs high above the skyline of the Kowloon Peninsula with sweeping views of the most densely populated areas of Hong Kong. Walking along Lion Rock, Beacon Hill and Eagle’s Nest, glance north for views of the New Territories and south for a panorama of Kowloon. On a clear day, the view stretches to Victoria Harbour and the iconic skyline of Hong Kong Island, making it feel like the whole of Hong Kong is under your feet!
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the MacLehose Trail. To commemorate this, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department is organising a celebration programme with a series of activities from September to December 2019.
