Pok To Yan, Mountain summit on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

The 529-meter peak rises above Tung Chung, featuring slopes covered with native vegetation and marked paths leading to the summit point.

The mountain and its neighbor Por Kai Shan received official protection status in 1994 as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for environmental conservation.

The Chinese name of the mountain translates to 'Thin Razor's Edge', reflecting the characteristic shape of its ridge line against the horizon.

Hikers access the mountain through trails starting at Tung Chung Railway Station, with a total ascent time of approximately three hours to reach the top.

The mountain supports over 200 plant species, including numerous protected indigenous specimens that grow across its volcanic rock formations.
