Buffalo Hill, Mountain summit in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Buffalo Hill reaches an elevation of 606 meters and features eight valleys with six streams flowing around its slopes into the Shing Mun River.
The mountain received its name due to the peak's natural shape, which resembles a buffalo's head when observed from the Sha Tin area.
The MacLehose Trail connects with smaller pathways leading to the summit, making it a frequent destination for mountain climbing enthusiasts.
Visitors can reach the starting point by taking bus routes 82K, 83K, or 86 to Wong Nai Tau terminal for a 7-kilometer hike lasting approximately 4 hours.
The mountain slopes contain exposed basalt rock formations and maintain a tree line that extends up to 350 meters above sea level.
