Shek Uk Shan, Mountain summit in Tai Po District, Hong Kong.

The 481-meter Shek Uk Shan stands as the highest elevation point in Sai Kung Peninsula, offering views of Ma On Shan and Plover Cove Reservoir.

The name Shek Uk Shan derives from Cantonese words meaning Stone House Mountain, reflecting the geological characteristics of its rocky formations and terrain.

The mountain area connects with stage three of the MacLehose Trail, forming part of Hong Kong's extensive network of hiking paths used by local residents.

Hikers can reach the trailhead by taking minibus 7 from Sai Kung town center, with the complete ascent requiring approximately four hours of walking time.

Two radio towers mark the summit location, where visitors can observe a 360-degree panorama including Sharp Peak, Sai Kung Port Shelter, and grazing buffalo herds.
