Kowloon Peak, Mountain peak in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

Kowloon Peak is a mountain rising 602 meters between Wong Tai Sin and Sai Kung districts in Hong Kong. Its terrain features steep slopes and exposed rock walls, particularly along the southern ridge.

The mountain became part of the Ma On Shan Country Park system, which led to the creation of maintained hiking trails and viewpoints. This incorporation made the area more accessible for walkers.

Local people call this mountain Fei Ngo Shan, meaning Soaring Goose Mountain, a name inspired by its distinctive silhouette. The name shows how the community sees this landform as part of their surroundings.

You can reach the peak by taxi from Choi Hung MTR station or by hiking trails starting from Jat's Incline and Fei Ngo Shan Road. Some sections are steep, so wear proper footwear.

One section is known as Suicide Cliff, where the south-facing slope drops sharply and offers views across Kowloon Peninsula. This dramatic spot is known among experienced hikers.

Hong Kong's scenic viewpoints

Hong Kong contains numerous viewpoints that provide different perspectives on the city. From Victoria Peak at 1,810 feet (552 meters) above sea level to locations along the harbor, these sites show the interaction between urban development, water and mountain terrain. Observation points include summits such as Lion Rock and Tai Mo Shan, platforms like Sky100 at 1,289 feet (393 meters), and hiking trails such as Dragon's Back. The Lugard Road viewing area and Wilson Trail offer outlooks during short walks, while vehicles like the Ngong Ping cable car and Star Ferry provide moving vantage points. Historic structures complement the network. The Man Mo Temple from 1847 sits among multistory buildings in Sheung Wan. Ping Shan Tower in Yuen Long dates to the 18th century. The Kowloon Walled City Gardens mark the former site of a densely populated enclave. More recent facilities like the Yick Cheong Building in Quarry Bay display residential architecture from the 1960s. The Harbour Promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui runs along Victoria Harbour with direct views of the island skyline. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau stands at 1,640 feet (500 meters) elevation. The Cape D'Aguilar Marine Reserve on the Shek O Peninsula combines coastal formations with observation points. Each location shows a different aspect of Hong Kong's urban and natural environment.
