Suicide Cliff, Rock climbing route on Kowloon Peak, Hong Kong.
Suicide Cliff is a granite rock face on Kowloon Peak featuring multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty across its steep surfaces. The wall rises approximately 600 meters above sea level and offers different ascent and descent paths suitable for different skill levels.
British military personnel discovered this rock face as a climbing route during the 1960s and named it for the extreme steepness of its vertical granite formation. The designation reflects the dangerous nature of the terrain.
Local photographers gather at sunrise to capture images of climbers ascending the cliff against the backdrop of Hong Kong's eastern districts.
Access takes approximately two and a half hours of hiking from Fei Ngo Shan Road along marked trails with no water sources or facilities available. Visitors should bring sufficient water and supplies, and plan the route carefully beforehand.
A natural platform at the cliff edge allows experienced climbers to photograph the urban expanse of Kowloon Peninsula from a high vantage point. This location offers an unusual perspective of the districts stretching below.
