Tung Shan

Tung Shan is a mountain summit reaching 544 meters (1,785 feet) in Sai Kung District on Hong Kong's eastern side. The peak sits between Kowloon Peak and Shatin Pass Road, with multiple rocky outcrops providing different vantage points from the top.

The mountain received its name from its middle position between neighboring peaks, making it a natural boundary marker in Hong Kong's geography. This central location helped establish it as a key reference point in the eastern region.

The summit attracts photographers who position themselves at rocky outcrops to capture views across the Kowloon Peninsula and Sai Kung's rural landscape. This location serves as a gathering point for people seeking to document Hong Kong's contrasting urban and countryside scenery.

The trailhead is accessible by minibus 1A from Diamond Hill MTR station, getting off at Fei Ngo Shan Road. The climb is relatively short, though the path can become slippery when wet.

From the peak, visitors experience a striking contrast in one viewpoint: urban skyscrapers of the Kowloon Peninsula on one side shift to quiet fields and villages of Sai Kung on the other. This duality captured from a single location shows how dramatically the landscape changes across short distances in Hong Kong.
