Cloudy Hill, Mountain summit in Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
Description
Cloudy Hill is a summit in Tai Po District that rises 440 meters above sea level with steep trails cutting through thick forest and natural rock formations. The pathways wind through the landscape at different difficulty levels as they ascend.
History
The mountain has marked a natural boundary of Tai Po District since Hong Kong's administrative regions were established. This geographic role has kept it as a stable reference point through the area's growth.
Culture
The summit is known locally by its Cantonese name Kau Lung Hang Shan, which reflects its connection to nearby village communities. This name is embedded in how local people talk about the peak during hikes and daily conversations.
Practical
You can reach the trailhead by taking the MTR to Tai Wo Station and following a marked path from the bus terminus. Bring plenty of water since the exposed sections get hot under the sun, especially on warmer days.
Did you know?
The mountain marks the start of Stage 9 of the Wilson Trail, one of Hong Kong's longest continuous hiking routes. It also serves as the source of the Ma Wat River, a significant waterway in the region.
