Yuk Kwai Shan, Mountain summit in Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong.
Mount Johnston rises to an elevation of 196 meters above sea level, offering a challenging trail system through the Southern District of Hong Kong.
The mountain received its name from Alexander Robert Johnston, a British colonial administrator who served in Hong Kong during the 1840s administration period.
Local hiking communities distinguish between the main peak and a lower summit, which they refer to as Fake Yuk Kwai Shan due to its leisure facilities.
Reaching the mountain peak requires following marked trails, as no direct road access exists to the summit of this Southern District elevation.
The south side approach demands technical climbing skills with rope assistance in specific sections, making it a demanding mountaineering experience.
