Sze Fong Shan, Mountain summit in Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
Sze Fong Shan is a mountain peak rising to 785 meters in the New Territories of Tai Po. The surrounding terrain features forest growth and steep slopes typical of Hong Kong's upland areas, with established hiking trails providing access to the summit.
The peak's name comes from its distinctive square-like profile, a feature that has been recognized by locals for generations. This characteristic shape has remained a defining feature of the mountain throughout its history.
Local hikers regularly visit this peak as part of Hong Kong's outdoor recreation culture and mountain exploration traditions. The summit serves as a gathering point for people seeking connection with the natural landscape.
Plan for a six-hour hike when visiting, which means starting early in the day to complete the ascent with daylight remaining. Bring plenty of water and wear appropriate footwear, as the trails can be steep and conditions at the summit are exposed to wind and weather.
From the summit, visitors can see the neighboring peak of Tai Mo Shan and the cascading Ng Tung Chai waterfalls in the distance on clear days. These views make the location especially rewarding for photographers and those seeking extended landscape perspectives.
