Ma On Shan, Mountain summit in New Territories, Hong Kong.
Ma On Shan reaches an elevation of 702 meters and features numerous rocky formations along its steep paths leading to the peak.
The mountain contains remnants of an iron mine that operated until 1976, extracting over 7 million tonnes of ore primarily for export to Japan.
The name translates to Horse Saddle Mountain in English, reflecting the distinct shape of its twin peaks visible from multiple vantage points.
Hikers can access the trail from Ma On Shan MTR station, with the complete route extending approximately 10.85 kilometers through varied terrain.
The mountain supports three notable elements: former iron deposits, native Rhododendron hongkongense flowers, and a population of Indian muntjac deer.
