Por Kai Shan, Mountain summit in Islands District, Hong Kong.
Por Kai Shan is a mountain summit in Hong Kong's Islands District that rises about 529 meters and features multiple climbing paths. The peak offers different routes across rocky terrain with natural outcrops throughout.
The local government designated this mountain and the nearby Pok To Yan peak as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1994. This protection status recognized their environmental importance for the region.
The local name comes from traditional Chinese practices of naming peaks after natural features. As you walk the mountain, you will encounter old markers and signs that reflect this naming heritage in the island's geography.
You can reach the mountain from Tung Chung MTR station exit D, then take local bus services to the trailhead. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water, as the paths cross rocky and sometimes steep ground.
The mountain is home to more than 200 native plant species, including several protected varieties found only in this area. This plant diversity makes it an important location for studying the region's natural vegetation.
