Needle Hill, Mountain summit in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Needle Hill rises 532 meters above sea level, featuring steep granite slopes and a distinctive pointed peak visible from the surrounding New Territories.
The mountain contained significant wolframite deposits, which were extensively mined between 1938 and 1967 to support industrial mineral production.
The MacLehose Trail section near Needle Hill connects hikers to multiple viewpoints of Shing Mun Reservoir and traditional New Territories settlements.
Reaching the starting point requires taking the MTR to Tsuen Wan Station, followed by bus 82 to the trail entrance at Upper Shing Mun Reservoir.
Granite formations at the summit contain rare mineral deposits including molybdenite and quartz, marking geological significance in Hong Kong's terrain.
