Tai Mun Shan, Mountain summit in New Territories, Hong Kong.
Tai Mun Shan rises 370 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and dense vegetation that characterizes the natural landscape of Hong Kong's northern region.
The mountain received its name, which translates to Big Mosquito Mountain, from early settlers who encountered numerous insects in the surrounding valleys and forests.
Local residents regularly collect medicinal herbs around the mountain slopes, maintaining traditional practices passed down through generations in the New Territories.
Hikers can access multiple trails leading to the summit throughout the year, with the most direct path starting from the eastern side of the mountain.
The summit provides clear views of both Tolo Harbour and Plover Cove Reservoir, creating natural boundary markers in the Hong Kong landscape.
