Lion Rock Country Park

Lion Rock Country Park, Country park in Hong Kong, China.

Lion Rock Country Park covers 557 hectares across Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon City, Sham Shui Po and Sha Tin districts, including Lion Rock, Amah Rock and Beacon Hill. Its 348 hectares of forestry plantation sit among granite hills cut by quartz veins bearing wolframite. The park has nine entrances, and a 6 km catchwater track runs along its northern boundary from Tai Po Road to Sha Tin Pass.

Lion Rock Country Park was designated on 24 June 1977, one of Hong Kong's first three country parks. It spans 557 hectares across Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon City, Sham Shui Po and Sha Tin, linking Kam Shan Country Park to the west and Ma On Shan Country Park at Sha Tin Pass to the east. The park's area includes Lion Rock, Amah Rock and Beacon Hill, where Qing dynasty soldiers lit warning fires against pirates.

The park's name comes from Lion Rock, whose outline from certain angles resembles a lion crouching on the ridge. Amah Rock (Mong Fu Shek) carries a legend of a wife who climbed the hills daily with her son to watch for her drowned husband and was turned to stone by the Goddess of the Sea. Beacon Hill's Chinese name recalls Qing-dynasty warning fires lit against pirates.

The park offers multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty, allowing visitors to select routes suited to their fitness level. Access is easiest during dry weather, and visitors should plan walks during daylight hours.

The long-tailed macaques here descend from monkeys released in 1920, not from local wild stock. Feeding them is illegal, and they may bite, especially in mating season or when young are present. The black-eared kite nests on Eagle's Nest ridge, drawn by its tall pine trees.
