Sharp Peak, Mountain peak in Sai Kung East Country Park, Hong Kong.
Sharp Peak is a mountain summit in Sai Kung East Country Park characterized by steep rocky slopes and a distinctive pointed shape. The elevation rises prominently above the surrounding landscape and is visible from numerous points across the peninsula.
The peak served as a navigation landmark for maritime travelers along Hong Kong's eastern coastline for generations. Its local name Nam She Tsim reflects centuries of significance to communities using these waters.
Local hiking groups regularly organize group expeditions to Sharp Peak as part of Hong Kong's outdoor recreation traditions and mountain climbing activities.
The area is best explored during dry seasons when rock sections remain stable underfoot. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for changing weather conditions, particularly at higher elevations.
From the summit, visitors can look across multiple bays of Tai Long Wan, including the remote Ham Tin Wan with its fine sandy beaches. On clear days, views extend across the South China Sea to the distant coastline.
